Uh, what? White males have been speaking freely (and continue to do so) for as long as the concept of racial hierarchy has existed. The American tech industry is run by (straight) …

Well, it may be possible for you to simply not talk about politics, but for folks who have their rights stripped away, their water made undrinkable, their loved ones ripped from th…

What's funny is that none of the big tech firms would need to change their policies or behaviors, should this actually become the law of the land, as there are currently no policie…

Everything here seems pretty fine (if basic), So often I see engineers screw this up, usually by forgetting a few things: * They only have some of the information, and don’t accoun…

(One of) the largest retailers in the world also does this, I believe.

What annoys me is your continued refusal to acknowledge the unfair lack of recourse available for someone who disagrees with a decision you’ve made, and your flippant attitude arou…

Yes, because you can easily know the owners of every American corporation today.[0] This policy was updated in December of 2021. But, again, completely irrelevant to the broader to…

Contradiction?

The fact that you equate "privacy" with "warrants as a concept" is kind of sad, but I doubt you're capable of learning better, given your pretty terrible attitude thusfar.

> Users here are extremely quick to push back if we do something they find objectionable. This is simply not true; you act like you're the only person who's been around here for 15…

That's your opinion, and fortunately not one that nearly anyone shares. You're doing a common Internet Thing by twisting a conversation into the topic you actually want to talk abo…

Housing supply is increasing, just not where you feel entitled to live. Move somewhere else! Tons of houses are constantly being built where I live, in a flyover state. Not everyon…

And 7 hours later, ETH is down ~10%.

Nope, not privacy related at all. I should know who I'm doing business with.

I can both believe in the concept of a warrant and wish to hide my identity from people like you.

Because we all agree that warrants do need to exist to catch bad guys... I refuse to continue a discussion with someone who doesn't believe in the concept of a warrant.

> People are getting prosecuted, criminally, right now. Name one person who is being prosecuted for obtaining an abortion, and that prosecution is moving forward due to evidence co…

I'm glad you recognize how fundamentally different the world is today than how it was in the 1930s, because not realizing that would probably confuse the hell out of you a lot of t…

Again, I get that bad things happen, but none of what you've brought up would have been prevented with better privacy in practice. It's well beyond "privacy" to believe that owners…

So your most recent widespread example is 80+ years ago, and then a very tiny hypothetical set of lawsuits that have not been filed (zero prosecutions are "under way")?

You could try bringing up relevant situations where a breach of privacy was the proximate cause of a systemic negative consequence on a large scale, rather than irrelevant-but-also…
