I sincerely hope Facebook continues making stupid moves like this, because they've spent over a decade earning the right to be the first company to be "made an example of" via the GDPR. It would be a shame to see their years

Was this shitcoin on exchanges aleady? If so, maybe the shitcoin headmaster in this case decided to change his plans from full on exit scam to massive dump and pump.

Given the general state of the "content" people put on Facebook, I'd say the dog park comparison is a good one.. but not quite in the way the parent post meant it.

Skydiving and BASE jumping can be both a cure for and a cause of depression, depending on how long you spend doing it and how many of your friends go in during that time.

The problem is that "the information they share" and "the information Facebook collects" are two very different things. During the recent hearings, Zuckerberg kept stressing the fact that users "choose what they sh

If any number of people have your phone number in their contact list, and any number of those use Facebook/WhatsApp/etc, then at the very least it's highly likely that Facebook has a shadow profile containing a portion of you

I fear we'll see this change soon enough, though. Given the rate at which IoT stupidity has been accelerating, a "smart" couch can't be too far off.

I've always assumed that the majority of these shitcoins that come out of nowhere with a copied and pasted whitepaper, then suddenly receive $10M+ in "investment", are just schemes designed to launder cryptocurrency drug&#x2F

For me personally, the problem is with trust. I'm not confident that these devices won't encourage the agencies that have them to "go fishing" on the phones of every person they arrest just because they have these shiny

I think the problem is that the Bitcoin "community" regularly says increasingly ridiculous/idiotic things without a hint of sarcasm involved, which makes it hard to be ridiculous enough to show that you're being sarcasti

Is this post meant to be a joke? How are those people you guys were telling to buy in and "HODL" at ~$20k doing now?

There was also a rapid and noticeable shift in "public opinion" on Reddit in regards to Facebook/Zuckerberg from overwhelmingly negative to slightly positive just in time for Zuckerberg's hearings. I also suspect the wo

Something I've rarely seen asked in regards to the "Bitcoin will become the main global currency" fever dream fantasy is this: Who would want to live in a world where a new multi-trillionaire class is created out of thin air,

No, they downloaded the portion Facebook is willing to allow them to download. This is absolutely not everything Facebook has. Note the wording here, which is similar to the misleading wording Zuckerberg used to avoid honestly answering ce

Exactly. The number of "This is all of the data Facebook/Google/etc have on you" articles I've seen recently make me want to bang my head on the wall. They absolutely are not letting you download everything they

Average users are able to do a lot of simple things to afford themselves basic protection from some of these practices. The problem is that the vast majority of them don't know what those things are and don't know that they shoul

I wasn't commenting on the hearing, though. I was commenting on the way the parent post attempted to portray the article linked in this thread. That said, I watched the both hearings in full and I can't recall a single complex, n

I couldn't help but notice that one of the few genuine-seeming smiles that appeared on Zuckerberg's face, appeared immediately before and during the broadband guy's "questioning". I couldn't help but get the f

If I had to guess, I'd guess that less than 5% of current internet users have ever knowingly and intentionally used "the internet" via any protocol that wasn't HTTP. Even that might be an overestimation. Companies like
