I’m guessing that third-party provider is Palantir or the NSA.

How do you figure they sold out by releasing This study?

No one asked for this Except maybe the NSA and the government.

Let’s make our own Internet with blackjack and hookers.

Definitely didn’t have that on my bingo card. “Trump kills military industrial complex”

Is this like Trump Steaks? Or Trump Airlines? Or Trump University? Or a few Casinos? Same business plan and none of them really succeeded.

1. Take the money
2. Run
3. ???
4. Profit!

Get a new barber and fire the old one.

For fucks sake, get a haircut!

Has he been near any windows recently?

E-U-LER.

Isn’t that always the case with the Olympics? Every city that host them ends up getting stuck with the bill for a bunch of new Olympic class facilities that get used once and then the local population is forced to maintain indefinitely?

Seems like the spirit of the Olympic competition has just been replaced by real estate speculation and hedge funds looking to make a buck. The money flows from the pocket of sponsors into real estate developers and local governments while ultimately the residents pay the long term bill.

Do you us hasn’t had a real budget since Bill Clinton. Most everything else has been funded through continuing resolutions and temporary funding measures. There has not been a full budget past in decades.

It’s just another political tactic to slip in a bunch of really nasty shit in these continuing resolution bills Hold the opposition hostage until they get what they want.

Honestly these giant omnibus bills full of all kinds of shit that nobody reads and nobody knows what goes in there should be addressed.

I think the government should stay out of peoples pants. The issue isn’t the pornography, it’s that children are allowed on the Internet whether there is pornography. More of a parenting and society issue than it is a pornography issue.

I think the larger issue is the fact that kids are given cell phones and laptops and unrestricted access to the Internet at a young age. The problem isn’t what’s on the Internet it’s that you don’t want kids to have access to it. There are other more effective ways at dealing with the problem rather than censorship for everyone.

Maybe a better way to handle these issues is giving minors only access to online libraries and curated educational content until they are 18 or considered an adult. Then you can make your social media profiles and access adult content.

AI companies, tech bros, wall st, landlords, and oligarchs.

I get that we need some regulation, what I’m saying is these regulations create an environment where we’re spending a lot of money and wasting resources that could be spent elsewhere.

Let’s say you had a settlement for $250,000 as proposed in one of the regulations. What is the family actually see from that payout? What’s $250,000 to a corporation that’s worth billions upon billions of dollars? Of that settlement how much of it goes to lawyers? How much resources do the state courts expand on seeing each one of those cases? How much time does it take before the victim sees any of those funds from the payout?

Let’s say kid is traumatized and needs therapy and the parents can’t afford it. Does that mean they’re gonna have to wait six months for the courts to decide? Are the parents expected to pay for therapy out of pocket and hope they get reimbursed later?

The real question is what happens to the victim and how do they benefit from going through all of the bureaucracy and courts to get any sort of settlement?

Just because there’s some new government regulations doesn’t mean it actually addresses the underlying problem. It just creates several new problems.

Or you know, the parents could do their job of raising their kids, not giving them an iPad at the age of five, and leaving them to fend for themselves on the Internet. No, let’s have the government fix this problem for us by spying on everybody. That will fix everything. /s

The study is from 2018. I’m sure Reddit has had plenty of time to get those stats up. 15% is rookie numbers.

Remember how they kept on trying to scare people the Democrats wanted to build a 15 minute cities?

This is that exactly but now with more tech Bros and less rules. Let the corporate techno Neo feudalism commence. You will all own nothing and be happy for the privilege of renting it.
