Here here. Paying no longer protects anything. If anything, you’re more valuable as a data brokered account if you’re KYC verified as a real person: so in fact the opposite case is now often the reality.
Consider that paying makes you prime rib for Sunday dinner from a data perspective: card verified PII.
And do not forget that you can be assigned an ID and disassociated from your data, which can then be tracked anonymously completely legally as a non-personally identifiable account. And let me assure you de-anonymizing a collected dataset is often not a very difficult problem in the modern data brokerage filled era.
We cannot pay out way out of this. We need rights to privacy and deletion enshrined in constitutional-style law, and soon. It must become a fundamental human right.

- aspenmayer 3y agoThank you. The one that always bugs me on HN is folks “pouring” over something when they really mean poring, or to pore over something.
- seanw444 3y agoI don't think I've ever seen that one done correctly.
- aspenmayer 3y agoIt’s pretty rare to find a good pour over too, but Peet’s does a decent one. /s
- MeImCounting 3y agoOK but really if you want good coffee dont go to national corporate chains go to your local roaster is is passionate about good coffee. Always better.
- aspenmayer 3y agoNaturally. I’m in full agreement.
- GrinningFool 3y agoRight up there with "weary" being used as an unintentional portmanteau of "leery" and "wary".
- dmoy 3y agoOh man, that explains a lot of my confusion. I've seen people say weary and I thought they actually meant weary. Like they were tired because of the thing. But it never scanned correctly, so I was just confused. Now it makes sense - they meant wary / leery.
- aspenmayer 3y agoUntil they mentioned it, I wasn’t even aware of how many abuses of the English language lay in these hills. I’m spooked lol
- aspenmayer 3y agoI don’t assume that people who don’t know how to use weary correctly are that clever, but perhaps you’re just more grammatically optimistic than I am.

A mistyped phrase missed by both my sleep addled self and my annoying spell checker. Rather than be defenseive (fore I gaudere gehrehte), let’s reflect on this moment to enjoy the fact that “we have over two thousand years of records of old people claiming that language has already peaked.”
- HenryBemis 3y agoThis is 100% true. The problem is not paying or not. The problem is that tracking, collecting and selling your data is irrelevant to the Facebook few. They will still trade you as a cattle. The only difference is that you won't be flooded with ads (BM - 15MM - ads playing in full volume because you dared to look away)
