You're a walking example of the cultural issue. You're too arrogant to admit to yourself that smarter people than you are smarter. You act on assertions you neither understand nor can prove by results. It's just your pride, fucking with you.
They thought they spent enough money astro-turfing that they wouldn't need to spend any more developing a patch. When the astro-turfing campaign failed, they had to scramble to produce something that nobody would use but that everyone would believe was "best effort."
The funny thing is, this used to be assumed common sense; that automation would eventually lead to ubiquitous lives of luxury for everyone. We were all supposed to be looking forward to being able to devote more time to art and love and health. Somewhere along the line people seem to have lost sight of the goal posts. Now they think that carrying the ball is a goal in and of itself.
But how do you deal with a post-scarcity society when a clue is the one thing left that nobody can find?
Morally bankrupt, stupid, and short-sighted. Do you think hundreds of millions of starving plebes will just roll over and die peacefully? Do you think even if they did, that it wouldn't be a huge colossal waste of the energy that was invested into growing them in the first place? Do you think that even if it wasn't, that civilization-destroying pestilence wouldn't just take the place of civil unrest? Do you think this has never happened before?
They're offsetting cost with advertising and demographics research revenue. Then they're outsourcing the data mining to the cheapest, least ethical, foreign 3rd party company. Good luck protecting your childrens' privacy with one of these...
Stupid and wrong question. The right question is why are foreign nationals being allowed to lie about their identity to begin with? It's against the TOS but they seem to be making a lot of fuss to avoid letting people notice that they're not even bothering to enforce the one clause that could have prevented all of this.
All that needs to happen is users' and advertisements' countries of origin need to be properly unmasked, and all sock-puppet accounts connecting through VPNs or proxies need to be banned. Basically just a cursory effort towards enforcement of their existing TOS, actually.
Actually despite this practice being forbidden it's completely common. That is why she got away with it; they'd all have had to turn in their own servers too.
Frankly nobody should be trusted with this job, least of all you. The obvious fact that nearly everyone involved thinks there is no threat posed by allowing paid foreign nationals to participate on our social networks under-cover, posing as citizens with opinions when they are actually just copying and pasting anti-establishment propaganda, proves it to me.
But you only think this is true because the public discourse you were privy to was itself manipulated by people entirely focused on amplifying exactly the right half-truths that would manipulate people like you into making the wrong choice.
Empirical evidence suggests it is bad for a lot more than just that. But the unfortunate takeaway is that this is only the case because of deficiencies of character in the participants.
The argument in favor of digital audio on phones falls apart for me when the follow up assertion is via bluetooth which has a max bandwidth capability of about 768kbps on a good day, and implies a requirement for batteries that frankly won't last very long at those types of speeds either.

No proof yet that they've cured shit. For all we know they just gave the test subjects double-cancer.

Someone you've deemed too stupid to survive is probably going to kill you and eat you.
You should just be happy there's a slight chance that some of these people will finally be forced to do their own homework.
STFU astroturfer. Your own statement isn't even internally sound logically.
Let them starve.

No, but the women won't care otherwise.

I don't need you telling me what to think,
Yes, you do. Clearly you also need me to remind you to finish your sentences.

People have the capacity and agency to double check sources for sensational claims, including "fake news."
Provably and quite obnoxiously false.

No, but accepting money to air foreign propaganda secretly is.

The ones who can get as far as installing it are the smart ones.
A case study in why just because you can doesn't mean you should.
How about we stop making them out of food?
You should watch the video.
