But I also have doubts if this is the right move
Can you share those and the reasoning, please?

The reason I didn’t agree with that is because desperate people do desperate things, despite how clear and concise information available is. With every person had guaranteed, decent housing, food, comprehensive medical, decent clothing and other needs met, I may reconsider.
I think we’re in agreement. I could have said “technologically necessary” to have been more clear, but I don’t agree sale or sharing should be by consent. I think it should be illegal, full stop.
Wish the brigaders would read that thread
Australia is, and France is their ally.
The fears, however reasonable you may find them, are largely that it presents a danger of foreign information gathering of detailed behavioral/location/interest/social network information on a huge swath of the U.S. population which can be used either for intelligence purposes or targeted influence/psyops campaigns within the U.S.
Tbh, I’m troubled by my own government doing that to us.
How about making data collection other than necessary to operate a website illegal, then making the sale of that data illegal, and absolutely require a warrant to collect it, including from FISA court?
I doubt it’s denting the bottom* line as much as the recent court rulings. And I doubt it’s as much paying bills as it is paying vested interests.
First time I heard anyone call Mike a philosopher.
You really can’t overstate this plain truth, and people will still cling to the illusion of freedom.
Was he on that island discussing whether the billionaires could keep their security detail loyal with shock collars?
Ellison is the world’s sixth-richest man with a net worth of $157 billion, according to Bloomberg.
They are really concerned when people tire of their children dying from hunger and easily treatable diseases, we’ll be coming for them. But rather than give up an iota of the money generations can never spend for our ecology and things people need to live, they resort to things like shock collars and surveillance states.
Thanks. That’s a liberal (sorry, I couldn’t resist) definition of socialism he used there too, even allowing for the “national” qualifier.
It seems I read once that “socialist” was just in the party name to garner support of those who would be supportive of socialist values. I can’t recall the publication, but wonder if that’s true?
You’re welcome? I haven’t done anything but share a limited perspective, and I’m happy you appreciated it.
There’s an anchoring effect at play here as well where people naturally assume that the society they grew up in is the natural default. Any deviation from that is seen as being extreme as a result.
That even happens from household to household, in the same neighborhood.
Something seems very amiss with this.
We’re heavily propagandized from birth. I realize that happens to greater or lesser degrees, around the world, but overworked, underpaid, tired, struggling for necessities, junk science with fake peer reviews and certain governments strongarming (to put it mildly) other governments. Cognitive dissonance waved away with professional terms. Overwhelm, in short. I only have the “luxury” of scratching the surface of my own enforced, propagandized ignorance because I’m chronically underemployed, my offspring is an adult, and other factors. Critical thinking isn’t rewarded, often punished, and it’s hard, especially when you’ve been deliberately misguided for decades, from birth.
I can’t begin to imagine how exhausting it must be for you. I am grateful for your patience and gentleness with me as I struggle to remedy whatever is within my personal capacity to remedy, with the time and resources available to me, and would urge continued patience, for the few who may still be reached.
Maybe if I have some pennies to spare, I will donate. I’m just not an Amazon fan. I haven’t given them money in a several years.
I’d prefer we not give Amazon money. I’m asking if there’s a better place, for either?
This may have something to do with it. One hand washing the other, as the saying goes.
