I disapprove of this kind of article. These useful rubes are not powerful masterminds. Why go on a witch hunt to hold a 19 year old responsible, when meanwhile Mark “they trust me dumbfucks” Zuckerberg is left off the hook for his teenage improprieties?

Zuck should be held accountable for myriad things.

Maybe we would have been better off if people went after Zuckerberg when he was 19 too

Sorry, no. Are they adults or not? Are they considered mentally disabled? If they are adults they should be held to the same standards as adults. If they're given adult privileges then they are grown ups.

I get a little annoyed at this reasoning because I remember at one point when Donald Trump Jr. did something idiotic in 2017, they were acting like he was "just a dumb kid" as like a 37 year old man. I'm younger than that now, and if I committed a crime I'd still get charged as an adult.

What do you think people are going to do, exfiltrate their SS and IRS data to Palantir to have them profiled and classified as enemies of the state?

That's crazy! That should be the President's job.

No no no, the President's job is to start a holy war* in Iran to distract the country from his pedophilia.

* sorry "special operation"

You are assuming these people were just following procedure. This is not accurate. There is at least one case where data was taken and intended to be improperly used at a private company.

These people are more than useful rubes. They actively committed unethical (if not illegal) acts.

There's no accountability in Western society for corruption. At least the CCP occasionally executes someone to make a point.

And steal organs from dissidents

If you actually follow those claims, you'll find a report published by a cohort partially composed of Falun Gong members.

The actual report points to about 60-80 possible instances of doctors not putting in the maximum amount of effort to save a life over a period of 20-30 years.

Not exactly systemic like people parrot. Sorta like how people endlessly repeated "social credit score" despite most Chinese acknowledging it barely existed for a majority of the population.

We send teenagers to prison for less societal damage. They don't get an opportunity to "grow out of it". I don't know why these teenagers should get more benefit of the doubt.
