We must make ISPs a public service owned by the people. Who can argue that internet isn’t essential to being a regular member of society? These companies rob us and use their monopolies to manipulate us.

It’s weird the parents that are complicit in this, like how do they justify it in their mind? I had a girlfriend in high school whose mom encouraged her to post risque photos online in 8th grade, taking photos of her with her thong out posing seductively etc, she wanted her daughter to be hot. Maybe the parents are trying to relive their youth vicariously.
But you are right, worse than the random parents encouraging this, the platforms knowingly encourage this sexualization of children because they know the ad revenue it can generate.

Google Music did this back in the day, I lost versions of tracks that I couldn’t find anywhere again, infuriating.
What I misunderstood was what the bank required an app for, in my very sick and sleep deprived mind I thought they were saying banks required you to install their app to get service from that bank in any form which I thought was absurd, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Why do I need to use a mobile website? I guess the comment I replied to was meaning they require their app for mobile banking vs browser which I should have realized
Ah but I love reading these specific philosophical discussions on tech, I don’t blame you though

Numerous places I’ve lived had contracts with Comcast so there was no option but them, and the speed is shit, maybe they needed to raise prices to pay for their forced monopolies.
From the reports I’ve heard by amateur youtubers, those dumb face thumbnails actually do get them more traction
It’s an opinion piece, they start out with their claim and try to back it up, it’s not a news article, what is the problem?
It’s like combat, companies like this see it as necessary to take every protective step possible, they have an inferior product so manipulation is the only way to maintain their monopoly
Facebook and others actively promote harmful content because they know it drives interactions, I believe it’s possible to punish corps without making the internet overly policed.
To be fair they do say they “need to be” transparent, not that they were going to be :p
I have an android from 2018, it still works great and I can run adblock on firefox, eat shit apple!
There are crypto ads involved in the product though? Fuck that, even if it was default off
Wholesome to see people help, but the main feeling I get is revulsion that this person can have a wheelchair provided with insurance but can’t even get proper functionality without paying.
Ignorant of what?? The things I see with my eyes and ears in real life? I’m seriously baffled, what the fuck is your deal, I even said you were correct
What the actual fuck are you talking about? There is no other city in this nation where people leave their cars open. Not a single one.
You’re either trolling or so disconnected from reality it’s terrifying.
This is one of the most intense responses to a comment I’ve ever had and I was just mentioning an observation of my life experience lol, I don’t understand where you are coming from with this.
This is an A-Lister commie board, we have Ryan Gosling too!
Edit: whoops I thought this was a hexbear post but my point stands, less commie though
