Hope this isn’t a repeated submission. Funny how they’re trying to deflect blame after they tried to change the EULA post breach.

    This is always the most short-sighted kind of comment on the internet, I don’t assume you’re ignorant, I assume you’re selfish - Do you not see a responsibility to future generations in any of your actions or are you just here to “get yours” and check out?

    While there are real and immediate dangers today, our responsibility in this moment is to be a firm NO so that these things don’t find their extremes in our lifetime or beyond. You’re the frog in the pot of cold water, but the burner is turned on beneath you.

    “What the fuck are you guys talking about man? being all hysterical and shit? The water is comfortable right now, even a bit cold”

      Anyone can obtain your DNA by picking a single hair of yours or a dirty napkin. Your DNA is an open secret.

        And there would likely be legal ramifications if they actually used that information in a way that harmed me. That’s not so clear when given up willingly.

        And anyone can hate a group of people, the difference between that hate staying small, isolated and relatively contained is organization and systemization - so for example, IBM catalogues and analyzes data for the nazis and you then get an amplification of strength of that hatred that effectively results in the holocaust (instead of something that would have maybe been more like Putin’s limp, flailing invasion of Ukraine).

        Yes I can pull a single hair from your head, but if I create a machine where you and 50 million of your friends send me that hair, pay me for the privilege and I then sell the data or it gets breached, that’s where we start to get into the danger zone.

        Those of you here being contrarians for the sake of it are on the wrong side of history. Learn a book, shitheads.

      Do you not see a responsibility to future generations in any of your actions or are you just here to “get yours” and check out?

      Not on this matter. Simply asserting that danger exists is not the same as demonstrating it, and you’re doing a lot of asserting and zero demonstrating.

      While there are real and immediate dangers today

      Such as? You’re pretty light on details in a situation where it would really help your argument to provide examples. It makes me assume that you don’t actually know.

      our responsibility in this moment is to be a firm NO so that these things don’t find their extremes in our lifetime or beyond

      Why does that require a “firm NO”? Plenty of actually dangerous things have been handled via regulation rather than a “firm NO”.

      You’re the frog in the pot of cold water, but the burner is turned on beneath you.

      Bad news for your point: the frogs actually jump out in real life. You’ve also completely failed to demonstrate that we are frogs and there is a pot of water in this situation.

        You’re very confidently ignorant. I’m glad this is only an internet conversation and it can just full stop here - I do feel bad for the people that have to suffer you daily in real life though.

          Funny you calling me ignorant in response to a post where I asked you twice to explain more. That you resorted to insults instead of explaining your thinking says a lot more about you than it does me.
