   That's a great idea. It probably is a continuum and makes me wonder what the mean point is. Are there behavioral characteristics that fit some acceptable norm? Or will the acceptable norm just become the new thing to manipulate with bi

   The best I can figure it is this: 'suspended' has a temporary sense, 'banned' has a permanent sense. While 'permanently banned' is a tautology, 'permanently suspended' is an oxymoron. https:/&#x

   Hidden measures are the essence of surveillance capitalism. What's needed is personal choice and transparency. And yes, I agree. I want to be in control of my consent too. The thing I think we're missing is the informed in infor

    Love the word embubbled. Never seen that. Nice. Weirdly I would have gone with enbubbled. I'm not sure why. I know Jebediah Springfield would have preferred the em- to en-. But for some weird, unknowable linguistic reason I would go wi
