The big problem with checking IDs is not the checking, it's the people with the right to vote that don't have IDs. (and can't get one super easily) So with that noted, when people make false claims of high levels of voter fraud, to justify government intervention that disenfranchises people, that falls into the fascism bucket. And anyone that stays in favor of those actions despite these explanations gets to be in th…

> Realistically, there’s very little an individual can do to completely opt out. Yes, but it's possible, at the cost of some minor inconvenience, to greatly limit data collected about you. Communicate over private channels (Signal, own XMPP servers, NOT Whatsapp), pay in cash or crypto, runs free software on all your devices, and deny Internet access to devices across the board (this includes all TVs/monitors, all "s…
> it is difficult to prevent others to intentionally or unintentionally provide data to surveillance companies One that bothers me a lot are all the apps that want people to share your contacts to find your friends. This is a quick way for them to get all the contact information, which may also include birthdays and other more sensitive details. Even if I were to never make a Facebook account, I could almost guarante…

What in Meta's history would lead you to give them the benefit of the doubt like this?
Perhaps I'm ignorant. I know some of the criticism of Meta: many people don't like the way their products are optimized for engagement. I've heard about their weird AI bots interacting on their platform as if they were people. And I know people of all political stripes have had complaints about content moderation and their algorithm. But all of that is within the bounds of the law and their terms of service. None of…
Optimized for engagement? I guess heroin is "optimized for engagement" too.

#515Why was the title changed from "The workers behind Meta’s smart glasses can see everything" to "A hidden workforce behind Meta’s new smart glasses"? It doesn't go against any guidelines: > Please don't do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It's implicit in submitting something that you think it's important. > If the title includes the name o…
For the record, now it has changed again, to ’Meta’s AI smart glasses and data privacy concerns’, which is even more milquetoast.
Parent and another comment reacting to this change have also been (artificially, I must assume) sunk from top to below gems like ’Too funny that the subcontractor working for meta is “sama”’.

> People don't care about privacy as long as a faceless corporation is doing the spying. This isn't true. Most everyone hates the fact they are being surveilled, but it is pervasive and people only can deal with so many complications in life. Avoiding surveillance is not a decision or action, it is 1000 decisions and actions. Endless decisions and actions.
In my experience most people don't care at all. Even if you tell them about these topics, they find it weird, and tinfoil-hat adjacent. "If you have nothing to hide..." and "why would anyone care about my data in particular?"
I haven’t met anyone that isn’t very cynical about Meta and Google’s invasiveness.
But I believe you, that there may be many who don’t care.

I can't even guess what you think is racist in what I said about voting.
And listen, I'm all for requiring IDs if we make sure 99.999% of people have an ID first.
But actual decisions must be made based on the actual situation. We're not even to 99% right now.

#519I'll confess that I like my Meta Ray Ban glasses: I love using them to listen to podcasts at the pool/beach, while riding my bike, and it's cool to snap a quick picture of my kids without pulling out my phone. I wish this article (or Meta) were a bit clearer about the specific connection between the device settings and use and when humans get access to the images. My settings are: - [OFF] "Share additional data" - Sh…
I don't understand how a parent can be OK non-consenually uploading pictures of their children's real faces to an ad driven AI company famous for abusing people's data and manipulating children on their platforms.

Being pro-Jew is not the same as being pro-Israel. > I believe Musk Generally, spreading lies rooted in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion about Jewish conspiracies to displace gentiles is not what I would consider "pro-Jew" behavior. Regarding Musk specifically, I have seen no evidence of any kind that he is "pro" anything other than his own self interest. Like Trump, he is a man without principles, religious or ot…

> It’s an absolute fact that the left are the people criticizing and protesting Israel
That's true, and I never said otherwise.
Many Jews criticize Israel as well. Are they antisemites?
As I already said, protesting Israel (in particular, the policies of its government) does not make a person anti-Jew, any more than criticizing American policy makes w person anti-American.
You conflate ethnic hate with principled opposition to particular unjust policies. Just like Trump, your orange god, you think that anyone who disagrees with you must be driven by irrational rage, rather than principles.
