It is crucial to bear in mind that the industry's problem is not data "protection," it is data COLLECTION. Mass surveillance must be recognized as a crime, not a business model.
European lawmakers, data regulators, and privacy authorities must recognize that It is time to revise your approach to the internet giants, who have for the entirety of the post-2013 era actively, intentionally sabotaged the process of reform. nytimes.com/2021/10/22/techn…

I'm not saying it's not impressive, BUT: If I stomped on low-wage workers' necks until they were so scared of losing their jobs, they peed in bottles & voted against collective bargaining so I can be wealthy enough to say "fuck yo goddamned taxes, bih"... I'd go to SPACE space.
