- Comment on LinkedIn fined $335 million in EU for tracking ads privacy breaches 2 weeks ago:
Sure but when they actively decide to break the law and the rights of millions people, they are criminals or part of a criminal Enterprise and you should be on trail. The people in position of power, choose to break the law because of profit motivation, of course they shouldn’t keep the money because it was made illegally.
Why would they care about the consequences of fines, when they themselves don’t have to pay it, they can just cash out and not lose a cent, its the company that gets fined.
Fuck em, they should face several years of prison and lose the right to run a business or having a position of power, for gross violations of human rights and shouldn’t be trusted to hold power.
What stops Nvidia, intel or whatever to build the same kind of privacy violating technology directly in the hardware. I don’t even know how our phones are even allowed to collect all the data that they do, what are you going to do in the future when every piece of electronics you buy, is collecting data. You wouldn’t even need internet, they’ll just send it to the nearest 5g tower.
In 5 - 10 years, we’ll live in the era of mass surveillance (for your safety of course). AI combined with all the data available, will make the world a living hell for regular people. 1984 will no longer be science fiction, because we elect self serving clowns, total morons that aren’t capable of doing anything because they are starstruck by rich people and tech bros.

I always wonder, how you can be fined hundreds of millions of dollars for breaking a law or multiple, but no one will go to prison. How is it not a serious crime to break peoples right to privacy and personal integrity on a massive scale like that.
If no one is jailed for doing it, it will never stopped they will just try to lobby to change the laws. They knowingly are breaking the law, but it’s only fines so they don’t give a shit, because they are also lobbying to change those laws…
What a bunch of idiots for politicians, they let these corporation walk all over our rights.

Yes we are going to enable this feature that is going to be irrelevant in the future, because where building an API in the browser to fetch browser History…
