Sites need to include this language to protect themselves from malicious law suits. But they don’t need to actually do stupid, disrespectful stuff with that power. Remember the Zuck quote when asked why people gave him their data: “they trust me, dumb f*cks”. When someone shows you who they are, trust them. He should be banned from having user data.

No, they do not. They do need to have people believe they do need to.

#143I feel like having an account on a Meta site is today’s equivalent of being a smoker.
After years off of it I got back on it because living in NYC it’s a lot easier to find and get invited to events in the arts if you’re on it. I wish it weren’t so. I hate every part of it that isn’t a utility.

"No one" does not literally mean "not a single individual" in common English parlance, something that everyone (see what I did there?) here understands.
Yes it does. If I'm asked how many people are in the pool and I respond "no one", that means not a single individual.
That's because you are asking for a specific count. If I am gauging the quality of some restaurant for example and someone said no one goes there, I would not assume that to mean not a single person goes there.

It literally does mean that. It figuratively does not. You’re not going to change the meaning of two words, here…
Literally does mean figuratively, since a few centuries ago, so no need to change the meaning of the word. Regardless, people understood what was meant, it seems only you are taking it, well, literally.

Read the HN guidelines, don't resort to insults just because you don't like the discourse.

Literally doesn’t mean figuratively - anymore than “yeet” means to remove.
This isn’t discourse anymore.
