Facebook helps you connect and share with the people in your life.* ** *we are going to datamine the poo poo out of everything you post and sell it to advertisers. also run psychological experiments on your timeline. and also "accidentally" leave a flash drive full of user profiles out on a table for cambridge analytica to find and maybe kill democracy **we are going to help you whether you want us to or not.

How many companies is SA selling my information to, and do I have to sign a new privacy policy release for the GDPR to help speed this along? I've noticed a lot of websites asking me to do that lately. Also I hope you get better soon because surgery sucks except for the part where they pre-dose you with medication beforehand. They always told me to count back from 100 and I never got past 96, not even once.

Slight necro to say that was a genuinely interesting read of an article And the briefer the guest quote, the more interesting and/or horrifying they were generally Modern day tobacco companies knowing full well their product is addictive and not only not caring, but designing specifically to maximize it.

he never gave a percentage but 50% is correct*Dr. Hans Klangwerk posted:Yeah, it's not that it's half-baked (the parts I finished were production quality) but I doubt it would be very useful to anyone at this moment, since it's basically half a forum. *actually correct number: probably 10% or something
