I guess when I was telling people that Big Tech (aka People Farmers) never delete your data but just set a deleted=true flag, I was being overly generous.
It’s amazing given how much insight I have into their bullshit that their bullshit still never ceases to surprise me.

Call data centres what they really are: data farms.
It’s where they farm you for your data.
You are the livestock being farmed.

“A jury in LA has delivered a damning verdict for two of the world's most popular digital platforms, Instagram and YouTube.
It ruled those apps are addictive, and deliberately engineered that way – and that its owners have been negligent in their safeguarding of the children who have used them.
…
Some experts have described the verdict as big tech's "big tobacco" moment, and we know how that worked out - although it didn't stop people smoking altogether.”

@geeknik Gosh, I wish folks had warned us about this stuff… oh, I don’t know… maybe a decade ago?

« One internal November 2020 presentation slide said acclimating #children to #Google's ecosystem in school would hopefully lead them to use its products as adults : " You get that loyalty early and potentially for life ” Another undated slide deck suggested imagining a world where “ Parents ask their children ‘Why aren’t you watching more YouTube?’ " and " School Administrators shift budgets from Textbooks to YouTube subscriptions ” »
Newly filed internal documents show how Google viewed its work with schools as a way of turning children into lifelong customers — while the company simultaneously acknowledged research suggesting that YouTube, one of Google’s main platforms, can be unsafe and distracting.
Amazing. W (I kid you not): A bunch of VC-funded European Big Tech assholes attempting to rewrite history by erasing the federated European alternatives that already exist to create their own centralised, surveillance-ridden X clone.
Same shit, different flag.
And I’m sure the usual fools will flock to it the moment it’s ready.
Fuck these people.

“But now things suck even for me and I’m sad!”
Oh, the gravy train ran out of gravy, did it? Something about leopards eating people’s faces?
Here, have a very fucking tiny violin.

“How could we have known?!”
Maybe if you’d listened to those of us warning you – often times your own damn friends – instead of siding with the corporations that paid your salaries/consulting fees/sponsored your conferences/invited you to parties and bought you free booze…
