We're both humans, so I'm going to suggest you reconsider this paid internet troll career path. Perhaps in post-Soviet Russian there is no other respectable path. In the USA, we have work for you here. I work with quite a few excellent Russian engineers. You have options.
Who needs a Siberian gulag, if they can gather around enough expensive advocates to hit someone with endless trials, until he/she is completely out of money. Really - If you are out of money and living on the streets, you are just as effectively neutralized as when they put you in a gulag. Those with money and power can rip somebody's life to shreds, and it's just just as effective as murdering him/her.
That's weird. I'm speaking out against my highest elected official right now and I'm not subject to endless trials and I'm not living on the street.
Regardless, I don't even know what you are talking about. Opposition isn't destroyed though legal proceedings in the US. If anything it's the other way around: opposition can tie up the powers in place with legal proceedings.
I hate to break it to you, but your current elected leader was brought in power with help from a country that includes Siberia and that does murder opposition figures.
Yes, mistakes were made.
Good thing you are posting as AC and not admitting what country you are from. Otherwise, I'd need to play a little game with you.
Face it, America... you live in a surveillance state, and most of your Constitution is now optional.
Comrade, we're doing a lot better than you. We still elect our leaders. Opposition figures aren't murdered by the ruling party. And we can speak out whenever we want without fear of ending up in a Siberian gulag.
Guess you've never heard of the Geo group or Corrections Corporation of America (now called CoreCivic).
You're right. I'm not a professional troll like yourself so I wouldn't have.
CCA and other prison companies have written “occupancy guarantees” into their contracts
I see. That's pretty much the same as the government rounding up people with evidence from their Facebook pages. It's a perfectly reasonable next step. You're a very smart person and I'm sorry I questioned your mighty brain.
We connect people. That can be good if they make it positive. Maybe someone finds love. Maybe it even saves the life of someone on the brink of suicide. So we connect more people
That can be bad if they make it negative. Maybe it costs a life by exposing someone to bullies. Maybe someone dies in a terrorist attack coordinated on our tools []
We connect people. Period. That’s why all the work we do in growth is justified. All the questionable contact importing practices. All the subtle language that helps people stay searchable by friends. All of the work we do to bring more communication in. The work we will likely have to do in China some day. All of it.

Don't worry folks. It was a a mind f*** on his employees intended to have some unknowable side effect. Us filthy commoners will never understand how the minds of the Grand Wizards of Facebook work.
This is the mindset of the leaders of Facebook. BTW, Bosworth still works there and was publicly backed up by Zuckerberg after this all came to light.
Zuckerberg defended the memo's author, one of his most trusted confidants, calling Bosworth a "talented leader who says many provocative things."
I choose not to own a "smart" TV. I don't utilize any Facebook, Apple, or Microsoft product and little of Google outside of search- and even that much I avoid. I utilize a stripped down version of Android without the proprietary Google parts and I'm trying to get away from cellular devices.
And yet, how is your life better than mine? What tangible difference has depriving corporations of your user data made in your life?
I mean, beyond allowing you to feel superior than the rest of us. That' clearly an advantage.
choose to NOT utilize products and services of companies which endanger my privacy
How are you endangered? Please, nothing hypothetical.
I work toward elimination of drivers licenses, license plates, vehicular registration, and similar.
Ah yes. The "I don't want to pay taxes so I'll couch it as a privacy issue" approach. Nice one!
I moved to New Hampshire as part of the Free State Project so that I could join other like minded individuals
I couldn't help hearing a Russian accent when reading.
It's over folks.
What is over is the Russian propaganda machine. In 2 years your tactics will be so out in the open they'll be useless, and you'll be sent back to the potato farm away from your cushy job trolling the filthy westerners.
I have never bought anything as a result of seeing an ad on a web page.
It's a naive person that thinks they aren't effected by advertising. Everyone is.
If you ask 100 people 99 of them will give an answer like yours: their buying habits aren't effected by advertising. But for some unknown reason, hundreds of billions of dollars are pumped into ads each year. Why do you think that is? Because companies haven't been able to figure out after 100 years and billions spent in market research that ads don't work?
Hello there comrade! How goes the trolling today? Well I hope.
You know that extradition treaties let someone in the US be hauled off to Thailand for execution if they make a crack about the Thai royalty?
No, they don't. Perhaps in your homeland, but not in the US.
Eventually some law will be passed that you will violate, and these companies that you don't bother bothering with are going to catch you and you will wind up likely doing some time in a private prison, for someone else's profit.
No, they won't. People in prison don't contribute to the economy by buying stuff and they don't pay taxes. Corporations like profits. Governments like taxes.
Hah good one. There's no limit on a corporation's "need" for money. Their need is defined by how much they can acquire without breaking laws to a degree that hurts their ability to get more money.
Not sure you need an evesdropping app to explain that.
The fact that you are married is a public matter. If you've ever seen a background check it even shows people are you "associated" with: friends, ex-girl friends, etc.
It's important to keep in mind how long the cars are on the road. Waymo, for example, filed 13 accident reports in 2016, but its cars also drove 635,868 miles in autonomous mode during that period, or just about 1 for every 50,000 miles
Google's software is not the product they sell. It's the bait. We're the product - Google makes all their money selling our personal data to advertisers and repressive governments.
Are you sure? You mean that Google doesn't spend billions in R&D, resources, and staff just because they are nice people?

About as good as the grocery shoppers in St. Petersburg last Christmas.

I call them incompetent because you can give them names of school shooters and they don't even bother investigating.
In 2016 the FBI received 1,300 tips per day.

The Goog is gonna give to a *sweet* bonus.
I'm still waiting.
And when it does, I'll address it. Until then, I don't need to make up imaginary problems. There are enough real ones.

And google and Facebook are enablers for many of these companies allowing said companies unnecessary access to your data.
Please link to any data breach associated with Google, or where I can buy Google user data.

Is that for tesla, google, uber or all combined?
You don't mention Uber in your OP so I can only assume you are talking about self driving cars in general, as was I.
Apple doesn't need money from your data

Does the system log when the microphone is being used? Answer depends on who customized and built your firmware.
Human assisted self driving cars could be put on the road today
They already are. Lane assist, follow-at-a-distance cruise control, auto braking. Those can be had on any upper-mid-level car these days.
Thanks for validating my point.
Reading comprehension much?

Hillary isn't going to be prosecuted by Trump's DOJ for the same reason Bill's DOJ dropped the Iran Contra investigation
Isn't "pee-lover" Trump already being investigated?
Trump sends Hillary to prison for mishandling classified information
Hilary was already investigated. For years, and nothing.
Indeed. It's come to people producing products and expecting to be compensated for them. Bring on the Four Horsemen.
