I’m questioning your belief in a system that clearly doesn’t a give shit about your data and your ability to do anything about it in that system. You and some other engineers on this forum can conjure all the concepts you want about how to fix it, and the perceived value in doing so, on here in these forums and nothing will come of it. Because by and large the system doesn’t give a shit. You’re “f’in” data is being bought and sold to bad actors without you even knowing it. And you agreed to that by using these services. Like you said in another post, the genie is out of the bottle. The value of securing an inherently insecure society is stupid. You’re thinking about this like an engineer only and you’re losing and have been for years. There’s no engineering solution to these problems at the technical or social level. We’ve been fighting fraud since society began. Good luck. I’m sure a hardcore software engineer will figure it out

Haha yes you’ve nailed me in two posts on a forum as a nihilist Like I’ve nailed you as a self aggrandizing tech bro who thinks he’s smarter and more aware than anyone else and can tackle a problem there’s no social will to tackle in earnest. Good luck.

  That's a pointless sentiment, there's no social will to tackle an emergent problem until there is.

>And you agreed to that by using these services. I have no right to complain if the service I sign up to tells me they are selling my data to 3rd parties. I certainly have a right to complain if the service I sign up to tells me my data is private, then through their negligence someone lays their DB bare. >The value of securing an inherently insecure society is stupid. A real live nihilist. Better give up on everything that's broken, eh? >There’s no engineering solution to these problems at the technical or social level. No technical engineering solutions to a technical issue, that's a hot take I haven't heard. As for social, luckily we are able to communicate with other humans and work together on different aspects of a problem. Or I guess some people just shit on others, claim everything is insolvable, and ride their high horse into the sunset. >Good luck. I’m sure a hardcore software engineer will figure it out Thanks, friend.
