Hive Social has no content moderation team. They also require full access to your phone's camera roll if you want to upload a picture, which means they can access all of your photos' location data.

I'm not saying that Hive Social does or is planning to do nefarious things with users' data, but the fact that they don't allow users to select what photos the app has access to is a huge red flag for me.

Never, ever give social media companies the benefit of the doubt.

YOU: I murdered someone.

YOUR CAT: Me too.

Frederick Douglass described in his autobiography that slaves were denied birthdays. No one cared. They weren't people.

So many slaves were the product of rape. Douglass himself was. His master owned Douglass's mother, and so exploited her not just for her labor but for her femininity.

Douglass describes watching an aunt get whipped by her irate master for having the audacity to love another slave. So he stripped her naked, tied her to a hook, and whipped her until she ran red with blood.
