That much _everyone_ knows by now. Including those people who for social or business purposes continue to use Faceboot.
It's time for Congress to ban cyberstalking as a business model. One way to do that would be too impose very high (instant bankruptcy high) mandatory fines for data spillage. And require that data hoarders be _fully insured_ against the maximum fine. Let the insurance companies take care of the rest.
I'm all about _people_ having the freedom to use software however they see fit. But I couldn't give a flying fuck if corporations have "freedom" to do anything at all.
Because Freedom is for human beings. Corporations are "legal entities", more or less malevolent machines, little petty gods we've built and raised up over ourselves.
I want to release software under a license that grants the Four Freedoms to human beings. And grants jack shit to corporations. No license I'm aware of does this. But maybe it could be hacked into existing licenses with just a few edits. Any thoughts on the wording?
PS: There's probably some numbnuts out there thinking, "Hey doood, a corporation is just a group of people. Corporations have rights too!!1!" Sorry bro, it's Current Year, and no one believes that obvious lie anymore.
As one who holds and loudly expresses extremist views that are considered deplorable by the vast majority of your countrymen, I'm surprised you hold in such low regard the freedom that allows you to express those views.
"algorithms promoting/demoting/demonetizing is not editorial control"
No no, we totally don't deny groups we dislike equal access to public accommodation. It's the ALGO - you know, the one we wrote - that discriminates against them, not us. .
I am amazed, shocked even, how easy it is for those folks to troll argument-from-authority "but muh SCIENCE(tm)!!" bros.
Let me give it a try. Okay, okay, here's a real deplorable one: I BELIEVE... that millions and millions of acres in America are covered with BURRITO TREES!! That's right, trees with delicious burritos growing on them. And the gub'mint doesn't want you to know about it! Artificial burrito scarcity! It's a conspiracy!!!
Okay, Progressive muh-science bros, wig out!! Decry the ignorance of your fellow men, lament the decline of Western Civilization, and call loudly for yet more censorship! Everyone knows commoners are far too stupid to think for themselves.
We can't allow these burrito tree extremists to spread their seductive lies. It's totally NOT true that chicken burritos and beef burritos grow on the same tree. Fight the lies! If it requires the boot of Big Brother stomping on human freedom, so be it. We must at any cost save our society from this pernicious burrito-based ruse!!
I know a lot of people who 10 years ago would have described themselves as "middle class", but today describe themselves as "working class" or "lower middle class". Not because they dropped a level, but rather because they have new awareness & understanding of where they have always been.
I'd say this change in class awareness is a trailing indicator of the ongoing economic collapse. But on a more optimistic note, it may also be a leading indicator of a new populist politics.

Creepy Faceboot is creepy.

"We basically solved the retirement problem with the 401(k) system."
LOL. #credulous
Thank you, Dr Pedant, for that learned and insightful commentary.
"avoiding profanity in written professional communication"
Professionalism is when you hold your work product to a high standard, and refuse to obey unethical orders.
What this human turd is doing, censoring strong language, is _prudery_ not professionalism.
True, hypocrisy is the house of social just-us nazis.
Which OS, then, is preferred by those who prioritize quality in code?

Ban cyberstalking-based businesses. Shut down Creepy Facebook, Big Brother Google, and the rest. Jail Zuckerberg, Pichai, and similar villains.
BAN CYBERSTALKING NOW!
In Soviet America, rights sign you away!
The term is "data rape".
Big Brother Google loves us all.
"It's like a virus spreading rapidly through a population that lacks natural immunity."
Cool conspiracy, bro.

Everyone is an idiot! Please, Big Brother Google, save us from ourselves! what
They only discriminate against people I don't like, so it's all good!!

'Cuz when an algorithm does it, it's all okay.
One can know a man but his enemies. If the faggottroll farm is stalking you, you must have said _something_ that was true.
Corporations have NO rights.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! He he he whoa-ho haha whee-he hahahahahaha!
"democratic system" !!!
Good one, broham, good one!
"No one forced that generation to rack up this debt in trivial non-ecconomcailly viable majors."
Hmm... I wonder why your generation didn't rack up so much debt? *cough* public support for higher education *cough* Hmmmmmmmmm...
"Everyone thinks they're middle class"
In the past, yes. But not so much anymore.
I know a lot of people who 10 years ago would have described themselves as "middle class", but today describe themselves as "working class" or "lower middle class". Not because they dropped a level, but rather because they have new awareness & understanding of where they have always been.

Found the anti-working-class racist sexist nazi asshole! Punch a nazi!
"why is google so shit at everything?"
Because they have utter contempt for their users/products?
