Can we just start calling him what he is, a hate speech absolutionist?

Direct translation my ass. It’s「セブンイレブン」。

Casual misogyny isn’t meant to hurt anyone either but it still does.

As a chronic pain sufferer this is too real.

Br***** people. Don’t be so crude please.

For anyone claiming that this isn’t enough, remember that Norway’s population is 5.4 million. If the fine were raised any higher, Facebook can simply not do business there. The goal is to get Facebook to comply with the law, not to remove them.

"This decision “does not ban Facebook or Instagram in Norway,” Tobias Judin, the Norwegian Data Protection Authority’s international department head, stated in a release. “The purpose is rather to ensure that people in Norway can use these services in a secure way and that their rights are safeguarded.” - > AP News

At face value many people would say that Facebook pulling out is a good thing, but it’s not that simple. Lots of small businesses rely on social media. People would be losing a forum for political discourse, no matter how fake news infested it may be. People who rely on it to initiate social interaction will have to find a different channel now. They are so conditioned to the convenience of staying connected with friends and family through social media that it has eroded forms of communication. This isn’t a judgment on social media users, this is just stating how social interactions have changed and how detrimental removing these tools can be.

Facebook has around 3 billion users. It’s economic impact is estimated at 227 billion USD. It’s part of the fabric of society, especially for people with poor media literacy. Good luck pulling the plug on that.

Many contractors for Alphabet companies do functionally the same work as employees yet get paid a fraction with a fraction of the benefits. Several friends of mine who are contractors and employees have affirmed that the work contractors do is for the most part very similar and both agree that this is a fucked up situation for the contractors.

Think of it like gig economy drivers who are frequently exploited for ‘contract based work’ when the reality is that this is a full time job for many drivers in everything but pay.
