There’s a million valid reasons to criticize Israel without any antisemitism… but if you make a generic “jews bad” comment and specifically mention a time period that goes before ww2 it gets pretty sus

TLDR: privacy law won’t pass because it would limit the government’s right to buy “commercially available data” on anyone without a warrant

This includes location data collected from cell phones that are capable in many cases of tracking people’s physical whereabouts almost constantly. The data is purportedly gathered for advertising purposes…

A government that actually cares about privacy wouldn’t be debating ‘should we be able to buy that data’, it would be asking the real question ‘why the fuck is it legal to collect and sell that data?’

Even if we pretend that data will only ever be used for ads, it’s still not fucking OK for advertisers to stalk everyone everywhere 24/7 (and every use other than ad stuff is probably worse)

Real life the board game©

Ouch my bones

Unpopular opinion: obvious stuff that 99% of the people here will agree with.

Meta has no interest in being part of the fediverse, it only wants to eliminate any posible competition.

The usual MO of buying the competitors isn’t posible on the fediverse, so the way to do it is embrace, extend and extinguish

Defederating is important because is Metastasis is allowed in the fediverse it will consume the fediverse, and then we’ll be right back at the corporate social media we’re trying to break away from, with the surveillance, ads and nazis being welcome as long as it’s profitable

Mind elaborating a little more? Why do you think limiting violent abusers’ access to murder toys is bad?

trump might be president in 2024. That sucks, but most of the damage has already been done (supreme court, senate, etc).

It’s very optimistic of you to assume the damage is already done when he’s literally promising to replace the entire government with loyalists and weaponize the judiciary system against all the “vermin” as soon as he’s reelected.

Might as well show the dems that they have to run a candidate that supports the rights of civilians all around the globe

Except by then there won’t be any more elections

Again

Yes I know that both options are terrible and the system is fucking garbage, but if you refuse to vote for the lesser evil you’re not taking some moral high road, you’re just enabling the worst evil

Refusing to make a choice is still a choice.

The only options are: status quo that doesn’t do the bare minimum against genocide, or an actual fascist who is literally promising to do more genocide.

Cops can’t stop you because you were on your way to a bank, just because they feel you might want to rob it.

LOL Sure, in theory they can’t, but in reality cops do stop people for any made up reason and they can also shoot you for any made up reason without consequence.

And “pro-life” people will support every cop that kills a pregnant woman on that highway.

Everytime I try to google anything that might be remotely related to a product every result will be a store.

I’d never have assumed that they just replaced my query but in hindsight it’s kinda obvious

Yes

Ironically that trump quote is a perfect description of Trump’s government

What’s hava?
