If we are okay with the idea that even the media must "go home because it is curfew" and it is "their fault for being there" and that police have a right to attack them, I don't think you've thought through the future and country you're endorsing.

This all feels dystopian.

To everyone that said we were overreacting in 2016.

To everyone that got sold on a slogan and a hat and some slick social marketing.

To everyone that chuckled and said “How bad can it be? What’s the worst that can happen?”

DO YOU HAVE YOUR FUCKING ANSWER NOW?

I know the world is hella messed up right now but Netflix has tons of movies/shows and tons of people that work on AI/ML for them but still in 2020 if you turn on subtitles most jokes appear on screen well before they are uttered, Netflix you have the capability to fix this

There are many better people to talk about the troubles gripping us right now then me.

please be in your homes by noon or the dumbest guys from your high school will run you over with cars you paid for

So..

100k+ people died and we debated the ethics of lockdown and public good versus personal freedom.

1 police station was burned and a couple 100 stores looted. And we have national guard enforced curfews in cities across the nation.

If you follow people to “keep tabs on them,” and denounce them, consider making a private list instead.

People won’t be alerted that you follow them when they click to their profile. Follows and RT are endorsements. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Headline of the day.

the data is stored for all time. it's sold to parties who are never disclosed. you will never get the data back and never learn who has access to it. you will never get to "undo" the tracking.

so some laws need to change around all that, i think.

note: we've deleted the data

I’m a fan of this post by @aaronpk covering the topic. Made it easy for me to understand the problem.

it would certainly be SHOCKING if one of those imperative OSS npm packages that every single FAANG company relies on...idk went offline until they fix their shit??

there's like 39,951 options here 👀

The number of times I get blocked for just correcting people based on history is hilarious. It's okay to be wrong as long as you let yourself change to right.

There's a million and one reasons why the "few bad apples" argument is BS, but I feel like there's really no excuse for it after seeing video after video of the MANY MANY bad apples being sent to mis-handle this situation right now every day.
