They can spin it as "the list of profiles you visit is your data", this list they'll probably give you if requested, but in addition they're also willing to sell you others' data (the list of people who visit you). Not precisely a nice way to put it, but it seems consistent to me.
It falls on its face as soon as they offer to sell that data to someone else, which is exactly what they're doing. Can't have it both ways.

I am actively working on several senate and congressional campaigns, believe me that these people want to actively imprison some of these CEOs for the destruction they wrought upon the world too. These stump speeches tend to get the crowds most riled up too. :D

It's a great feeling, definitely a defining human trait that everyone should experience.
Hopefully you find your tribe someday.

I'm not trying to scare you, just letting you know I'm someone that does more than advocacy. I'm actively organizing with people that share my values. It's a great feeling, definitely a defining human trait that everyone should experience. Hopefully you find your tribe someday.

Please don't post national/regional slurs to HN. I agree that it's different when you're part of the group, but from a moderation point of view the effect on the threads ends up being bad anyway. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Once you work to demolish democracy, you are not the opposition in the sense that democracies use the word - e.g. somebody who disagrees with government policy, but not with the constitutional order itself.
You instead become an enemy of democracy and of our society.
Democratic states have defense mechanisms against that sort of putschist - jail is not some fantasy, but a natural consequence.

#129Unlike physical goods where a higher price reflects higher production cost, SaaS companies have to engineer scarcity into a product that is naturally abundant.
In this LinkedIn example, they already collect the profile visitors for everyone. Instead, they spent additional engineering resources building the restriction layer and then charge the users to undo the sabotage.

#130I'm not a fan of how LinkedIn operates ... or the culture there in general. At the same time I wonder what happens when users realize everything they look at is now more visible than ever? People just make fake accounts for browsing? Maybe it should be that way, but there's an interesting dynamic to "what you look at (even if not a full picture) is visible to some people".
