If you think the average Google employee has as much access to PII or sensitive information as a cop, you're deeply mistaken.

- AdieuToLogic 2mo ago> If you think some Google employees doesn't have MORE access than a cop, you are WILDLY mistaken. This is a conspiratorial position at best. If you can cite from a reputable source similar abuse attributed to those organizations, then do so. Otherwise, the position you are championing lacks both fact and reason. Additionally, as others in this thread have made clear, both Google and Meta are not police departments authorized to inflict lethal force. So there's that.

- AdieuToLogic 2mo ago> Please have everyone cite their sources and I will cite mine. I did not ask "everyone." I asked you to do so. > That Google and Meta employees are not law enforcement completely misses the point I'm making but I never expect people on liberal social media sites to see that You wrote, and I quote: If you think some Google employees doesn't have MORE access than a cop, you are WILDLY mistaken. That you chose to invoke the trope "people on liberal social media sites" speaks not to a sound position so much as an intrinsic bias evident to all. I wish you well in your path in life.

- tomhow 2mo agoPlease stop. If you keep this up we'll have to ban the account. Please take a moment to read the guidelines and make an effort to participate in the intended spirit. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- assimpleaspossi 2mo agoI will stop when HN stops allowing anti-police posts and threads. Not to mention anti-Trump and other irrelevant posts. I'm just going to log off forever. This is the only social outfit I belong to but I see no need for this anymore either.
- tomhow 2mo agoWe can only moderate HN according to the guidelines, not in service of any side or position. We don’t “allow” or “disallow” posts for or against any argument, and it’s important that this is a place where all points of view can be represented, yours as much as anyone else’s. We work hard every day to keep it that way. But the guidelines are critical for keeping discussions healthy and worthy of people’s time to participate in and read. You’re welcome here if you want to engage in curious conversation.
- tomhow 2mo ago> Brother ... lmao Please omit swipes and patronizing barbs in comments on HN, no matter how right you are or feel you are. It doesn't make your argument seem stronger, but rather makes you seem like a jerk and makes the whole place seem mean. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- snayan 2mo agoLol, brother, you started this comment chain. You're trying to assert a position, but insisting others do the homework on providing data for said position. If said data is so strong as you believe it to be, just post the fucking numbers and shut everyone up. Also, not everyone has the same values system. Your post implies that you value minimizing criminality over civil liberties, which, fine, everyone has their own value system. But, other people clearly use different weights in their values, and view this as an unacceptable trade off.

- fragmede 2mo agoDo you have any, like, evidence or something? There are enough other past and current Google employees here that know just how much you can't just go into log files and databases to look at PII without filling out forms that will get you fired if you're snooping on your ex-girlfriend. People have been fired over this, at both Google and Meta.
