Yes, Super Donald- the Defender of American Jobs and the downtrodden Working Man! Preventing corporations fro- wait, what? You say that this is okay by him because it allows Lowes to make an extra 0.00001% profit? Well ain't that somethin! Haw haw, the joke's on me!
Keep the camera covered up just like you do on your home PC.
Or, just don't have a Facebook account. Problem solved.
But if you want to have to constantly take countermeasures against an entity that TELLS YOU it's going to spy on you, be my guest.
Having Facebook on your phone is like inviting a crack-addicted thief to live in your home and then rationalizing to yourself the need to hire a security guard to watch him 24 hours a day.
"The Public Is Growing Tired of Trump's Tweets, Says Voter Survey"
Yeah, no shit. I was tired of them before they even started.
I never dreamed I'd see the day when the president of the United States would spend his time tweeting away like a drunken teenage girl with a head injury. It's just embarrassing.
Oh, Microsoft, is there anything you can't fuck up? Is there any line you won't cross in pursuit of profits and customer lock-in? Is there not a single engineer, programmer, or executive in your organization with an intact pair of balls who will pause, and think, "Wait, we shouldn't do this..."?

If I'm paying to go to Harvard I don't want to have to spend my time contending with these kinds of shitbags.
Exactly. If I'm paying for a degree from Harvard, I should not have to spend my time dealing with anything I don't agree with or anything I find offensive.
Those two things are not even remotely similar, but I wouldn't expect someone like you to have any grasp of nuance or contrast. Feel free to hobnob with racists and Holocaust deniers at Trailer Park University, but you're not going to do it at Harvard.

Sure, it's legal and all. But it sure has a chilling effect - no doubt that's the point.
Good. Let the bigots and racist scumbags and the Holocaust deniers feel a chilling effect. Maybe they'll understand that this kind of shit isn't accepted in any reasonable society.
Harvard is a private school, not a public school. Their call to reject students based on this sort of thing.
Bingo.
Harvard is not required to let racists, bigots, and delusional holocaust deniers ruin their school. These are exactly the kind of people that should be denied entry. If I'm paying to go to Harvard I don't want to have to spend my time contending with these kinds of shitbags.

Actually it's different, he hated the American Worker with every fiber of his being.
I'd like whatever medication you're taking, but in a smaller dose.
Why didn't you blame Obama when this happened? Because he did shit for the American Worker
Wow, lie through your teeth much?
The unemployment rate was 7.8% when Obama became president, and it was 4.7% when he left office.
Overall, Obama took over a jobs market in crisis and ended up growing the labor market better than most of the modern US presidents.
These are facts backed by hard numbers. You may not like them and they might make your tummy hurt, but these are facts.
No. Working in a coffee shop was never meant to be a job that a person could live off.
Says who?
Exactly what authority says that a person working a 40 hour/week job in a coffee shop shouldn't make enough to live on?
Can someone translate this from "Retard" to "English"?
I tried Google but it doesn't seem to recognize the source language.
Trump hasn't "made his move" yet, obviously. I'm sure he'll be all over this.
Oh yeah, he'll spring into action with his dog-like reflexes!
-
He cares about American jobs after all.
Which is why he makes all his stuff in China and Vietnam and India.
I guess it's time to call in.....Super Donald!

Thank you, Intel, for subverting my PC hardware in such a way that makes it impossible for me to defend against hackers and government agencies!
You done innovated the SHIT outta that computer stuff!
Electricity prices have gone negative?
Not to worry, once they switch to "clean coal" that'll all be fixed.
In fact, maybe they could just run the wind turbines on coal and then there will be plenty of jobs for every coal miner in Europe!
Given their track record, if facebook says they want to do this, chances are they're already doing it somewhere as a test.
I guarantee they're doing it in a "testing" mode to some of their users. That's a given.
"I refuse to install the Facebook and Messenger app"
Full stop. I won't dabble in Facebook, period. I don't have an account and never will.

No? Okay, just checking.

it's a big waste of time and pointless.

You'd better hope your definition of "reasonable" continues to be societies.
If society gets to the point where bigots and racist scumbags and Holocaust deniers are considered "reasonable", then fuck that society.
Oh yeah? Define 'asshole'. I dare you.
Okay, how about "a private Facebook group mocking sexual assault, the Holocaust and racial minorities".
Seems like an ideal example of "assholes" to me.
Sure, it's legal and all. But it sure has a chilling effect - no doubt that's the point.
