So do fast food chains and supermarkets. Please don't be rude to the next person that serves you food.
Mcdonald's isn't trying to get me to vote against my own free will by exploiting my user data dude.
I'm cool with eating garbage cheeseburgers because my Metadata is being used to manipulate me into thinking it's great. I'm not cool with eating the actions of garbage politicians because my Metadata is being used to manipulate me into thinking they're great.
You forgot to explain why you were angry at this individual and not the company. Apparently, today's leftist rage is focused on workers.
Here's the thing snowflake, I didn't forget shit. I'm simply mad at this person's poor argument, not the person that made it. Something that atrophied lump of old socks you call a brain likely can't process without a diagram written in crayon explaining it.
The above is far closer to what rage actually looks like. The only reason you feel it's "left" is because of your massive insecurity about the 99.9% of the world that exists outside the political bubble you've adopted in place of an actual personality.
Nothing I said has anything to do with workers, or politics. You're just another loud ignorant insecure rightoid snowflake too afraid to leave the conservative testube to even try to think for themselves.
Please respond so I can keep dunking on your simple and obvious ignorance to my own delight.
I'm feeding the troll one last time:
We're upset with this person in particular because they're a goddamn hypocrite, who would absolutely immediately use the same tools their bosses use to spy on them if the tables were turned.
Now I don't want to see or hear anything else from you. We're done. You have your answer, you've gotten your answer with almost every single reply to each of your comments in this thread.
Go away.
Ah, vengeful fanfiction that contradicts what the person actually wrote. I expected nothing less from a troll who believes everybody is impure (except you, apparently).
No, fast food and supermarkets primary business model is to sell you food. The privacy violations are just a bonus. Facebooks primary business model is to violate your privacy. The fact that you can talk to your friends is just a bonus.
In other words, the only thing that prevents you from hating shelf stockers at your grocery store is the assumption their employer doesn't sell data? I have bad news for you, unless you really enjoy hating workers.
Are they aware of it? The workers I mean. Does their activity of stocking shelves directly contribute to the data selling?
Your argument is kinda of shitty and pathetic.
I mean it's one thing to say be a restaurant worker at a bomb factory, and another to be a designer trying to figure out how each bomb can kill more people.
If you work at Facebook, you know what you are doing.
As much as a Facebook employee fixing a bug with scrolling. So evil. Worthy of a good five minute hate.
I find the compassionate restorative justice leftists here to be kinda of shitty and pathetic.
No not as much. Most stockers would have no idea.
I would like compassionate restorative justice, but it's hard when you just pick random shit like this to argue about.
A stocker doesn't know, not all grocery stores are harvesting data and they have no control.
A Facebook employee fixing a bug is building a better bomb and they know it.
Don't be dense.
You notice how many interesting loopholes you're leaving?
Just the ones that employ the vast majority of cashiers. I don't think minimum wage earners should be damned by the left.
Or for knowing too much. Most people use AI and don't like it. Guess we have to damn them too for their consciences.
Don't be so horny for retribution.
So I shouldn't be rude to the person who's using AI regardless of the fact they know what the impacts of using it are?
Zahille7, that's an entirely different sentence. It has nothing to do with the complainer I replied to.
If you want to talk about this different topic, though, I guess you have a ton of people to hate.
Just stop.
Zahille7, do you understand you shifted the goalposts hard? But now that you did, tell me how many random employees you are entitled to wokely harass?
Since you have a computer yet engage in "knowing better" yourself, are you a target for your fellow lefties?
You're the one who's deleting comments and leaving new ones, just so I keep getting notifications, thereby harassing me.
Zahille7, aren't you the one that said people deserve harassment? And aren't you the one that says everyone is complicit? I know you're only pretending to be offended, but why are you performatively acting like such a hypocrite here?
I'm learning so much about leftism.
Wow. Fuck me for saying not to be nasty towards anyone who works for a restaurant. True class solidarity in these parts.
Holy false equivalency Batman!
And yet, nobody has come up with a valid response. The desire to purify the imperfect is strong around these parts... Maybe I just wandered into the part of Lemmy that's full of temporarily embarrassed CEOs
