“Here come the test results: ‘You are a horrible person’. That’s what it says, ‘a horrible person’. We weren’t even testing for that!”

If social media companies exist to collect massive troves of personal info from users–and they do–then there is a valid national security concern over social media controlled by an adversary. This is distinct from the individual privacy concerns towards domestically-controlled social media.

Lisa needs braces!

It’s a unilateral contract.

I’m not upgrading because I don’t trust Windows 11. Not that 10 has my confidence, of course, but 11 seems worse.

The value of the DNS is that we all use the same one. You can declare independence, but you’d lose out on that value.

There’s a quest where you find a ghoul child locked in a refrigerator on the side of the road (it’s implied he’s been in there since the war). You have the option of selling him to a named member of the gunners.

Not exactly the same problem. In the same way that gun control doesn’t address the problem of hostile foreign militaries. Yes, both involve guns, but the laws and policies that address one are inapplicable and inappropriate to the other.

The law in question addresses the problem of foreign adversaries having easy access to manipulate US public opinion. The law you suggest addresses the problem of advertisers having that access. Both are serious concerns, both need to be addressed, but they are not the same problem and the solutions are markedly different.

require every company operating within the US to show users exactly what data is collected and allow them to delete any or all of it as desired

That would be a very different kind of law from the one we’re talking about.

That’s a separate issue that could not be addressed with this kind of law anyway.

Can you explain why you feel that would even be necessary?

I’ve actually read the law, so no one has to tell me that it really, actually is about privacy. I know that it is.

Narrator: it wasn’t.
