I had to 'vouch' this comment. It was [dead]. Why? Who sits here lurking this site flagging every single thing they disagree with?

It's funny because I think the original Streisand 'effect' was done in good faith. She just didn't want people taking photos of her private home. It's since been used to justify all manner of silencing actions on th

But the view apparently is Zuckerberg bought it when they were 'barely a company' Yes - and he's utterly ruined it. And we know from his emails it was anti-competitive

Well, I can say about that that Facebook seems to be the worst about it. They've locked stuff behind logins forever, while also messing with their users privacy settings, while also effectively DDOSing sites with their AI Google does n

What do we want the web to look like? Lock everything down behind logins, in the name of 'security' when the real goal is nyeh nyeh nyeh you can't see anything, sign up so we get more user metrics

I've been told repeatedly Zuckerberg was 'making a point' with 'dumb fucks'. That he's not exactly the type of person it's suspected he is

Google is a top-notch researcher among all the problems people have with it. It has a mix of great products, terrible automated systems (though, I suspect, not as bad as Meta's?) and some historical disappointments

Sorry for the wrongthink. Obviously I deserve my downvote, so I can never reach the 500 karma necessary to downvote others. I don't have the right opinions . (Site guidelines: don't comment on downvotes. Yeah, I know. But I'

I'm upvoting you purely because I'm sick of comments being made in good faith getting an automatic downvote

I have less sympathy for Facebook/Meta. Zuckerberg is on record as saying IG can hurt us. The Whatsapp co-founder Acton saying "it's time. delete Facebook". The fact Zuckerberg's engineers were apparently specifical

That's hilarious. They don't think about "hey, maybe not show this, we might have nervous passengers"?

It's a shame Google crams it ham-fistedly into search results and that Google has some of the reputation it has because I actually really enjoy Gemini and I don't even use it for the reason people often list which is that you can

A fish doesn't always rot from the head but it does when the guy in charge has a long history of bullshit and majority voting rights Didn't he also want people's friends to also be AI? He's a sociopath that lucked into t

This is not a solution. Do better, on a site like this

2010 for me. I mean they're continually fucking around with privacy settings. It shows. Things show up all the time that people didn't approve of/vet Zuckerberg is a sociopath with a dim view of humanity. He doesn't thin

I see some public intellectuals who do support Brexit so that's fair enough but I do get mad when I see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQSMr-3GGvQ These were not only ads, but shadow ads; they were different per perso

It's easy to brush off 'less screen time for kids' but I honestly think that's right (not the brushing off; what they do say about it) and people like Haidt have a point

I cannot believe I had to bring you out of grey VC people are here, and it shows. They can't just be neutral, they have to downvote anything they disagree with or goes against their businesses

There's something to your point of overzealous litigation and making too many rules but on the other hand Facebook's ad delivery network is allowing CSAM onto it meaning they don't vet it at all That would be one thing except

I have no idea. The point is they took competition out back, and shot it Whether that's 'too much' depends on your view of it I'm tired of people calling them 'savvy acquisitions'. Not when Zuck's on recor

Rocky Horror is one of those (movie, but also stage, if you go to see it) things where you're either in the culture already or you're not. Go to your first show, and be completely lost as the audience calls back things you obvious

I understand this, but the distinction is academic The people using their product. The people who, if the product were shit from day 1 - as Reddit wasn't - would have never signed up for it. Who have been effectively and literally lied
