Facebook Cookie Tumbler is more what I'm after. You toss your cookie into a pool every couple of seconds and get another one that someone else used for a couple clicks.
The downside of being tracked is that laws change. What's legal today needn't be legal tomorrow. Did you stop that activity that used to be legal but is illegal now?
Then there's that pesky data breach thing. You know, when companies that collect every minute of your day "lose" data which shows up in inconvenient places. Does your boss know you're reading those newspapers that don't agree with his political views? Probably not, but here's the guy that you pissed off because you didn't drink the coolaid and dared to speak out against his harebrained views on $topic just once, who now makes it his mission to dox you and destroy your life.
And I'm sure if I get to ponder for a minute or two I could come up with more ideas how to abuse information about you against you.
The thing I don't get here is that YouTube hardly has a monopoly position. Yes, they're the biggest, but at the same time, they are the crappiest. They are the ones that censor the most and they are also the ones that get hit with DMCA-takedown notices the worst (unlike... well pretty much any YouTube clone outside the US).
You haven't been paying attention to the recent terrorist attacks, mainly in Europe where getting a gun is pretty hard but getting a car is surprisingly easy, have you?
I mean, it sounds like a neat sum in the ears of someone from the US, but for everyone else it's 1,198.25ZAR, 410.017TRY, 840.600SEK, 1,799.81MXN, 10,693.16JPY or 80.9115EUR.
And that even changes as time passes.
What would have been wrong with demanding "a laptop way cheaper than what laptops are being sold at today"? Because nobody gives a shit about whether it's 130, 180 or 200 bucks as long as it's worth it. It's not a "pretty" sum in 99% of the world's currencies anyway.

Then take a handgun for all I care. The important bit isn't the gun you use.
Sorry. English is the only language I use that makes a difference there.
Nothing substantial and just fluff and filler?
That's disgusting. Can't we just shoot him with an artillery piece like they do in North Korea?

Poison their data pool while you're at it.
Wrong. EVERYTHING needs to be opt-in. Hey, we're doing it for sex now, it's way less ridiculous on the internet...
Good. I hate them.
Do I have to take over your life or is it proof enough if I just destroy the one you have now?

You said FPS, so I know it wasn't Supreme Commander... so I don't care.

So the staff gets to choose to either get shot at or get fired. Because that's the options you present to them.
Let it stand or fall on its own merit. Only bad ideas need censorship for survival.
And they also claim that they "let you make money" with successful videos.
Hush, coppertop.
There's plenty of them on any airport. Just shop around for the ones with the crappiest security.

Neither have I. I have been shot at, but he never threatened me first, he only fired his gun.
If I was him, I wouldn't want the average person (i.e. user of FB) with access to automatic rifles either.
He knows why...
Sorry, but no. If the choice is to get shot or get hung, the correct choice is to shoot the executioner.
False dichotomies are never solved by choosing either wrong choice.
Right, let's vote Kodos next time, that's gonna change it all!
Don't replace it with one from the Asus Xonar line, they (and even more their drivers) are about as crappy.

I don't say that this one person has to work alone. Maybe he just needs to be the one showing the direction.
In the end, it doesn't matter as long as we eventually solve the problem.
I'm not talking about the one executing the design, I'm talking about the useless cunt that designed it.
