Also information FB has taken from users about other users via methods such as exfiltrating info from phones.
I had lots of email address aliases at one point I used to determine which online partners were selling my info to spammers. (I'd been getting up to 10,000 emails a day just to me, with less than 20 legit - recent notable catch - Comcast selling my info to T-mobile)
FB was sending me tons of emails to sign up to FB to those aliases, I wonder if they acquired and used spammer lists. Anyhow, I had someone with the FB app add those aliases under my name in their contacts and those would stop getting emails from FB, presumably because they'd be added to my personal shadow profile.
I tracked it to stealing my number from the phones of people who had it when the FB app was installed.
I'd used a rooted android with software that blocked and monitored access to the contact list. And yup, that version of the FB app tried to take the entire contact list as part of the installation. Maybe you could turn off sharing contacts after they'd taken them, per FB's normal friendly privacy conscious style.
Station wagons were outlawed by the cafe gas mileage laws. Those don't apply to 'trucks' so auto makers build larger, heavier, even less fuel efficient replacements to make sure they are truck like enough that cafe doesn't apply to them.
Well, actually this one's uncovered FBI interference too, it's just that it was against the party/president under investigation.
Russians and Americans cooperate to create a propaganda hit piece against the sitting president funded by the opposition candidate and then used to authorize secret FBI investigations by a secret court. All of this leading to a public outcry about coup/Gov't takeover...
If this were the time of Watergate everyone would say this was Orwellian. They'd be very confused as to why the accusations of coup were directed at the sitting president not the opposition candidate funding the dossier! (and certainly suspect the press given the rest of the widespread compromise of the former American ideals)
I've done the same. I also research the DRM before getting anything from anyone. There is also a problem with titles adding spyware to updates, or being aquired by a company that does.:/
More likely the established players will 'Tucker' them by arranging for legislation/regulatory oversight that disadvantages only the newcomers. At the moment I think they're content to let Tesla trail blaze and be the one hemorrhaging money. And testing the waters for consumer acceptance of cars that can be remotely bricked by the manufacturer. That'll be happening across the board if they figure a critical mass has been reached. As is they're trying the boil the frog approach to do the same thing. (more and more has a chip, and they're DRM locked to a specific car - no swapping chipped parts and no 3rd party parts as the dealer has to 'bless' the new parts or they'll be rejected)
So the question is, does Tesla hit the critical mass for political influence before (and assuming) they're a real market-share threat. Elon's other ventures may help that, or be a noose. (regulatory approval for SpaceX threatened unless Tesla stops competing with rival in Senator/congressman's district or the like - it'd be interesting if Tesla can dominate the battery production side and be in the catbird seat that way)
Not when they're Animal Farm (TM) timelines where some times are more equal than others.
Given that it's twitter, I'd suspect it's influenced by ad impression traction (engagement/clickbaity-ness), paid promotion and politics. If the feed is curated by them, the opportunity to 'fully monetize' the situation or use it for political advocacy without outright appearing to do that is greatly improved - and they can gradually increase it as users get used to it as long as they get traction at first. I wonder if they'll really turn it off, or only split the difference so it's less bad than the current option but leaning the direction they want.
A local city started requiring parking meter payments be made by phone app. I started getting scam calls the day I parked and every day after. Yay, full 'monetization'... - made mandatory:/ (all the non-metered roadway had new no parking signs - can't have that cash slip away...)
More like: Big companies that openly went all in for one candidate are concerned what might happen when the person they've opposed wins. News at 9.
Also here though - companies that claim impartiality are found to be manipulating the situation to favor an agenda. This might prompt regulatory oversight - anywhere from treating them as a utility with heavy oversight to some scrutiny (something like FRAND terms for patents - you can set the rules but must enforce evenly) to forcing transparency which might reveal practices that'd scare away the product/users so they'd have less to sell to the customers. The last thing FB/google etc want is to be forced to reveal actual practices.
Others whose feelings are that gender is entirely a social construct and there is no psychological gender felt he is a heretic for proposing changes that'd make employment at google more attractive to people with a female mindset is a better way to attract women to google than the approach then in place. They started a whisper campaign against him and escalated that into a public shaming for wrong think. Much of that criticism accused him of writing things not contained in his memo anywhere. That was a smear campaign meant to create mob justice, which worked.
Yes. You must perform maintenance. But that's restricted by the device. You can only performed the required actions on their terms at their price. it's like a lease to own with no ODB port, no way to pop the hood and no parts or work except from the dealer even after you own it - which is to say it's not like a car lease at all.
Yep. Libertarian ideals - or just the ideals of the Enlightenment don't work when gov't is abused to tilt the playing field and definitely not when gov't flat rigs the game. This is paying the officials to throw calls then saying the other team should have played better.
If only Apple weren't too financially strapped to be able to afford to protect their customers. It's such a shame they don't have the profits to do this properly.
They want your # so they can sell/market/track/fully monetize you. They may have banned you specifically to see if they could coerce you into giving up your number as smart phones are the most amazing little behavior tracking devices.
If you say "socialism" and "Venezuela" in the mirror three times a socialist account will appear behind you to tell you Venezuela isn't actually socialist and anyway it was done wrong. (just like all of the others)
Strat is exactly right. Fascism was an attempt to avoid the economic collapse of Leninism while retaining the authoritarian control.
Loss of the lawsuit from customers who paid Base price * 3 for the bleeding edge processor and received performance at a level below the advertised performance of the base unit. I'd think they'd want a refund (at least of the price difference - but if they've got to replace the platform to recover the speed... that's more expensive isn't it). And why wouldn't they be entitled to one just as a diesel VW customer would be.
And in general with anyone who feels the need to bring up credentials. That never seems to occur to the highly skilled. They want to talk about the cool new thing they're working on, or elegant solution instead.
Higher education seems to at best give some structure to the self initiated learning for the really gifted folks, where it's not an impediment. It's more useful for the rest of us.but by no means the only way to excel. Mentored learning works better for example.
My day job is cleaning up after 'educated' programmers.
Some individuals have the ability to design elegant solutions. Comp-Sci degree plans can be passed without those abilities, and the skills can be learned outside of a classroom.
The gist is that degrees have been used as an indicator of coder quality and it's a very poor tool for that.

Haven't they claimed they don't? Isn't that exactly what this is about?

Shush! Artisinal blockchain based AI hosted on nanotech QC cloud platforms are the future of business computing! (did I miss a buzzword)
So, is this marketing BS or an attempt to get free developer effort to promote the platform? Or both?

Yep, privatize the public common and make sure you control the private owner and your information/propaganda control is complete.
