Whatever happened to the Internet where the person on the other end could be a dog? Why is this surprising to anyone and why do so many people even care about changing it?
I really would hate to use this stuff if there were mandatory ID verifications all the time, and I think it would take something away from the experience too.
- wodenokoto 3y agoFacebooks value proposition to end user and customers (i.e advertisers) is that you are not a dog. But I partly agree. I prefer talking with anonymous dogs on the internet too and would hate for that to disappear.
- barrysteve 3y agoThat was the point all along. These technologies like surveillance, facebook, phones, ect are all imposing separately.. When you fuse those technologies together, you can track and clamp down on and own men like a farmer owns cattle. The next 'freedom' will likely be using tech to force people out of apathy, pushing them up and off the ground floor with electronic provocation.
- debugnik 3y ago> why do so many people even care about changing it? Because multiple laws could punish them for tracking kids, so they think "anyone could be a kid" threatens their business model.
- mike_hock 3y agoOn that internet, you don't post self-portraits showing your real face every ten minutes. Facebook is the antithesis of the internet and should never have existed.
- toasted-subs 3y agoCreeps me out tbh. I miss the internet with weird usernames and spinning 3d logos as avatars. I understand why it is the way it is but honestly it makes me uncomfortable with the large social media sites. "Socialization" turns into human farming a bit too quickly.
