Your employer is toxic and causes long term damage, like smoking. As for the TV whataboutism...
TV doesn't track me, doesn't tailor content to influence my behavior, TV doesn't try to build a model of my social network. And the big difference - TV actually creates content themselves.
- neogodless 5y agoTV wants to and at times is starting to do many of those things.
- short_sells_poo 5y agoOk, does this change anything about parent's main point that Facebook's core business is results in major society level issues?
- neogodless 5y agoNo... ? Did I say anything to contradict that point?

- HeroOfAges 5y agoDo you mean traditional over-the-air television? Because I'm absolutely certain companies like Netflix, HBO and Disney tailor content to influence your behavior. Haven't you ever compared the Netflix recommendations for your account with anyone else's? And yes, "TV actually creates content themselves", but that means you'll be exposed to whatever agenda and viewpoints the stakeholders of the production company that creates the content what to promote, and only that viewpoint.
- mrweasel 5y agoNetflix recommendations is one of the reasons I’m not worried about tailored content. Netflix apparently have zero idea about what shows or films I like. Either that or they don’t have them. All I want is fantasy removed from sci-fi, explosions, spaceships and boobs.
