Got no examples for you. Doesn't seem enough to justify not trying to me. I'm not of the bend over and take it mentality, I'm of the do anything we can do mentality.
That's a non-nuanced take. A- properly wielded shame isn't targeted at corporations usually, it's targeted at the individual members responsible for corporations. B- corporate culture and "decorum" culture have made shame almost exclusively the domain of religion. Whatever example you're thinking of as corporate shaming, that's not what I'm referring to. I'm talking about the lost art of shame.
The topic had moved to generalities; we were no discussing this specific case

US needs to regulate how data is collected by all companies. This shit is just gross.
This would be lovely, and I agree with you, but unfortunately the people scraping every inch of all of our data are the exact same people drafting legislation that they then turn over to their purchased politicians to submit with no edits.
Something needs to be done, but it can't be done in the system as is. We need a real overhaul, at least of electors if not the system itself, before anything is going to get better.
I think you're underestimated how widespread, advanced, and insidious those efforts are, tbh
....will I get called a nutjob if I say intentionally nefarious agents possibly aligned with certain governments and institutions?
It's also why so many of the memes are boomer memes. I'm sorry, but a lot of the Linux userbase are 40+. I'm close to that myself, so I'm not criticizing or saying millennials shouldn't be welcome, I'm just saying we also need an infusion of younger people here to keep things fresh and make sure the stale stuff gets tossed into the garbage where it belongs.
Yeah, a lot of their stuff is genuinely funny as satire, but the author truly has zero irony or satirical intent about any of it. They truly intend for these to be read and understood at face value. The shit they believe is real fucked.
They didn't even block anyone; this reply was planned before the first tweet ever went live.
