Comment on Ring cancels its partnership with Flock Safety after surveillance backlash
Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 days agoOk. That’s a bit like blaming bill gates for windows 11. There’s people in place now that could make a change but choose not to. I don’t see how they aren’t more directly guilty for current evils. Seems more like convenient scape gloating to just blame everything all on the same person especially when that person is no longer making those calls.

The people in charge of these companies are absolutely at fault for being greedy and evil but these companies have ALWAYS been evil and greedy at their inception. Which is why I bring up Bezos. He was cut throat in the way he started and managed his company, same with Gates, same with xyz. You don’t amass the amount of influence that Amazon and Microsoft achieved without a lot of backdoor deals and cutthroat tactics. You cannot divorce what these companies are from where they started and HOW they got to this point. History is important to look back on.
I’m not absolving anyone of anything, they all fucking suck. AND ALSO if you think that Jeff Bezos doesn’t have a hand in his own company anymore, come on now! Once again, he’s a billionaire! We can’t keep being this naive about what these assholes are saying in private conversations outside of the eyes of the public. Bezos is in the Epstein files for crying out loud!
