no sh!t. did you expect something different? Not under oath and FB contributes to the election campaigns of almost every member of that committee. This is old school grandstand-about-doing-something-but-actually-do-nothing Congress. The action is coming from the executive. and it’s a tsunami.
im pretty sure a bill regulating facebook will happen. some were demanding for a timeline on when he will fix the problems. he responded that he has 20k people looking at it, but due to the billions of content, he is building out hte ai to do it for him. at some point someone said they will create laws with penalties, so zuckerberg may have to hire more people to police it while at the same time building out the ai to support it. imo, this is not a big deal. fb is a high margin business. they can easily take the hit as they build out the ai.
people are making a big deal out of this ad targeting. who the hell cares. id gladly hand over my data for relevant ads. instead of randomized ads taht i dont even care about. another great point is that the coo was casually mentioend in creating a new business model where fb will remove ads completely for a fee. like a premium version of facebook.
some questions were retarded but for the most part, they were going through the nitty gritty details of what happens when you delete your fb account, if your data is stored or if it is completely removed. if they make money through ad targeters. if they sell that data to third parites. etc etc.
bro – you gotta realize that all these social platforms are arms of the intelligence agencies. they provide all the info they collect to the 3-letters…illegally.
It’s the corporate-government state making it illegal to publicly discuss or promote non-establishment Clinton/Bush candidates. That will be “hate speech” and “fake news.” They have been working on AI to control internet speech for awhile now. Also on CW’s point, mega-corporations are legal constructs of government (they are granted “personhood” by laws, passed by government, subsidized by the government, monopolies are allowed to continue if they share data, etc…not “private businesses” as the dummy conservatives always say).
Corporate-fascism is the biggest deal this century.
I feel like PA and cw could both be russian trolls working together, with cw representing the completely pro trump side and pa being a completely anti america side, really covering both the extremes (not to say trump equates with pro america).
take it another step. these fukks were working towards fully automated labor and AI in order to get rid of 95% of the useless eaters in the world (with 4% remaining as slaves to fulfill their sick desires and sacrificial requirements). They believe they are gods who hold rightful dominion over the earth. they almost succeeded, but by the grace of God, they are being shaken from the Earth like flees. Golden Age for humanity. Revelation is true prophecy and happening as we speak. The meek will indeed inherit the earth.
Despite being a somewhat odd individual, CW is on topic yet again.
The corporate machine still has a small weakness, in that it is dependent on millions of humans (legal entities have no body, so it functions by human slaves). If the legal-AI, invents tech-AI, then it’s autonomous. Then it will only need a small upper-middle class group (strategists, propagandists, etc).
we speak about the same thing in different languages. We see.
I’m an optimist at heart though and believe we are going to rise above the destruction of the many by the few. Me and God rap about it, and he says we’re cool, nothing to worry about. under control.
