They scanned your message and found you were critical of Israel, a team has been sent to your location to resolve the issue.

The current US government wouldn’t nationalize industry.

Doesn’t that tell you something?

That’s what Google and Apple want you to think, and they’ve spent a lot of money to make sure you keep thinking that way.

Nationalize Google and Apple.

💅

The creation process is private and personal, interfering with it is a violation of that privacy. This is at least privacy adjacent, and I don’t know why you won’t admit that.

You’re tilting at windmills anyway. Judging by the way the community is engaging with the OP, they agree with me.

Yes, any editing done without the author’s consent is a violation of the personal and private creative process. There are obviously degrees of violation, so on the low end there’s other examples you gave like resizing a video or colorizing a photo without permission. Then on the other end we have the fucking nightmare of YouTube changing my face because I’m too ugly.

The point is, you’re defending YouTube for doing something heinous. Do you think this is okay?

YouTube inserting itself into the creative process in an unwanted way is a violation of something that was previously personal and private. The artistic choices a video creator makes are their own, changing them changes the meaning of what they created and violates the authentic connection between the artist and the audience. Imagine if the comments you made on videos were edited to be something else -it’s a violation of our ability to even express ourselves in public. A private decision making process is being taken away from artists.

This isn’t unrelated to privacy.

Someone agreeing to a TOS doesn’t actually eliminate the privacy concerns.

You might have missed the problem.

We have an authentic connection to the author when we engage with their content, the editing and lighting and scripting is a reality they create and share with us.

What YouTube did was mediate the connection between the creator and the viewers. YouTube destroyed the reality that the author was trying to create for their viewers and substituted its own reality instead.

That’s a shockingly low speed limit for pedal assist tbh

ICE is under Homeland Security. Besides, being new doesn’t really make them not the Gestapo. The Gestapo was new at one point as well after all.

It was bad in 2004 too, people just didn’t realize that ICE was the Gestapo back then.

The mask is off. That’s all.

Chelsea* Manning

But, yeah, most people just do not care if they are spied on because they don’t think it will be used for anything besides advertising. Trump is going to wake a lot of people up to the immense power we’ve handed over to our tech overlords.

Well the US should stop underdeveloping other countries if they didn’t want people to flee those countries.

Also, eight hours is a modern invention! Throughout most of human history we slept several times a day, rather than just once.

I’m really liking siestas these days and can’t go back to a single eight hour block.

No, courts are just naturally occuring phenomenon, like the weather or the tides 😌

you can enforce your data rights in rule of law countries

😂

China is not illegally busting down US residents’ doors and killing them lol

Okay but now we aren’t really talking about privacy anymore, are we? We’re talking about the monopolization of social media by a few corporations as we’re siloed into platforms. Bad, for sure, but a different problem.

The election interference is coming from inside the house and privacy is only tangentially related to a larger problem.

I’ll continue to be more worried that my DMs will be used to put me in prison.

Okay, but they can’t literally bust down my door and kill me.

Well, only one of those governments can actually do anything to me. Hint: it’s the one I live under

Monopolies are not going to be broken up. Get real.

I bet they did the math

Did they? Because it seems like everyone else is in a hype bubble and doesn’t give a shit about how much this costs or how much money it makes.

It wasn’t that long before you were born that the Black Panthers marched in the streets with guns to confront murderous cops.

Things look bad because people here have had it too good for too long. We won the Cold War, it was the end of history!

But the good times are coming to an end and America’s chickens are coming home to roost.

I wonder how many police stations will burn this time.

Do you think average people want that shit?

Do you think that the police need a pretext to become violent?

I’m skeptical of all “outside agitator” narratives that seek to frame uprisings as illegitimate. The fact is, even if he encouraged other people to take direct action, the uprisings were the result of people choosing to take matters into their own hands after that. He didn’t start those fires.

I don’t condone individualistic violence! It doesn’t help and just creates chaos. We should be organized and disciplined, not burning random shit down.

But let’s not pretend the uprising was fake. The purpose of blaming him for all the other protesters taking their own direct action is so people like you are reassured that good USAmericans will never do anything drastic. That’s the actual function of this article.

Things can only get so bad before we hit a breaking point. It will come. Have some revolutionary optimism.

USAmericans burned down a police station last time Trump was president. People got pretty close last time.

Every new little shitty thing only makes it inevitable.

Taking away people’s porn does, in fact, mean taking away some of those creature comforts.

And a lot of people are already pretty uncomfortable.

They’re going to overreach so hard during this Presidential term, holy shit. There’s also many unpopular things they’ve wanted to do for so long and now is their chance.

I wonder what the breaking point will be.

Yup, nothing political about workers being worn out after the work week.

These pattern recognition bots just allow the justice system to be stupid faster.

Can’t wait for a hallucinating AI to report me for assault because I hugged someone in public.

No one who qualifies to work for Evil Corp is going to fucking starve on the street if they decide to look for work elsewhere instead.

All CEOs should be arrested actually.

And then Google, Twitter, and Meta stopped violating privacy.

… right?

Yeah I’ve gone 100% audio only through podcasts, broadcasts, and audiobooks. Video just is not ready for decentralization.

Not exactly, they can mind control you into being happy your boss steals your wages tho

I’ll bite.

No, they won’t literally read brain waves to find out your secrets. Instead maybe they’ll have an AI model trained on data from your life and then use it to simulate the things you might be thinking.

Sure, that’ll lead to false convictions, but they don’t give a shit lol

Looks like I’m testing not using YouTube.

A more compact space isn’t better, though, unless you’re dealing with a character limit. The longer the pass phrase the stronger it is, and you can memorize some seriously long phrases.
