There's a difference into trying to understand what makes everyone tick, and going into deep personal details. It might make sense from employer perspective, but why i should put myself at risk? It is similar to prisoners dilemma.

why? It doesn't hurt anyone, and they do pay premium for that. It's just that they have different value system than you do.

Lovely, now that there was spotlight on invigilation through push messages, Apple suddenly decided to close that loophole.(it is still better than what google did - nothing) But why it was open in the first place? why were they even stored?

It will be stuck in legal hell due to conflicts of interests. Trains already exist, and they need to work - but maintenance/repair companies cannot legally modify software of them due to copyrights. It's a catch22 situation. I hon

What? What kind of attachment i have to service provider other than bloody contract? Do not push 'morals' to the end user of service. Make a system that enforces companies to not break them in the first place.

why would I, an user, should care at all about anything that my service provider does internally? Why shouldn't i switch to any other provider as soon as I'm unsatisfied with current one? This seems like really really dumb line of

exactly this. Pay them well, and treat them well and they will stay. This is just another tool that employers use to nickel and dime their employees.

Of course not. That's the point of GDPR.

the issue with LVT is in a market where there aren't enough sales to properly value the price of land itself. It does seem to be a pretty good solution if you don't have stagnant market.

Mostly because they can go for those power grabs again, and again - ad nauseam. After a while populace is just bored of fighting, and only few people care.
