Oracle will operate in partnership with the US government on everything from algorithm retraining to application development and source code review, the White House official said. It wasn’t immediately clear what role the government might have in oversight of the app, its algorithm and user data.

every article just glosses over the fact a major platform that people use to get/share information (with also a lot of personal data collected) is about to be controlled by the US government and a few of the president’s friends. No one is talking about how bad this will be its just "china bad’.

I only had an account to watch people livestreams concerts, protests, etc… Imagine the amount of suppression and propaganda if something like the L.A riots/free palestine movement happen again but the government controls what you see.

the same murdoch that owns the wall street journal he’s suing?

don’t forget the pedophilia

there was this black girl in 2018 who pretended to be MAGA. She went on twitter saying how her family kicked her out because of it so she decided to “speak her truth”. She managed to get sympathy from trump supporters and got them to donate to her go fund me. Only got $200 out of it and she returned the donations after admitted she just made it up for fun lmao

In an interview with New York magazine, Quran said she simply decided to “capitalize” off of all of the recent efforts by Republicans to shed the reputation that they’re “mostly racist.”

“A lot of Republicans have this idea that everyone thinks Republicans are mostly racist and they’re really desperate to get that stigma off of them,” she said. “I just felt like capitalizing on that.”

here’s a buzzfeed article on it https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/tanyachen/college-student-faked-maga-trump-sob-story-trolled-gofundme

there’s also a high chance some MAGA influencers are just grifters anyway

I personally dont think you need to switch to a dumb phone to get those benefits, smartphones themselves arent what’s causing issues its what you’re using. You want less distraction just stop using those apps or turn off push notifications.

Such stores have been a favorite of Iranian diplomats posted to and visiting New York because they are able to buy large quantities of products not available in their economically isolated country for relatively cheap prices and send them home.

I mean don’t you think they can just get someone else (who might already be here or a friend from another delegation) to do it for them?? I don’t see how that’ll stop anything it’s just an extra step.

wow so smart

cant remember where i saw it but young people are joining less and less i guess its their way of trying to connect to the “youths”. Its such a spectacle.

cant be irony, there has to be a better word for this level of stupidity

relax its not that deep

let people have fun damn

well I am absolutely shocked that meta could be so careless about people’s private data, its inconceivable 😧😧 they would never do such a thing.

that’s everyone data they’ve collected by the way so i guess fuck the end user. The whole thing is fucked up.

y’all got retirements and belonging???

okay but objectively this is low key funny

currently going trough my personal backlog of games I’ve always wanted to play but never could. Never had my own console or a good enough PC. bought myself a steam deck and I’ve been an absolute degenerate doing nothing but playing video games. Just finished all 3 watch dogs (+ DLCs), currently working my way trough horizon zero dawn then will play forbidden west. Also simultaneously playing expedition 33, fallout 4, sleeping dogs and the witcher 3. I know its not high art but watch dogs is my favourite game and franchise I wish ubisoft would do something more with it.

prison population is already being used as slave labor for the state and federal government, they’re not gonna give that up for free if they’re not benefiting somehow. That would involved the US government actually caring about its citizens and them not being victims (see the current state of crypto scams and its criminal prosecution). I also doubt any company would pay so that they can use prisoners since it would involve them spending even more.

While the country often looks like the mouth of hell itself due to its dirty environment and streets, its GDP per capita is actually slightly higher than Uzbekistan’s. … Unlike China, India is not an industrialized country. So the pollution you see there doesn’t really come from industrialization, but from a lack of civic sense – people throw trash wherever they want – and a lack of moral consciousness, which allows them to scam others. The real problem in that country isn’t economic, but cultural. And you don’t want that mess in your country.

also I don’t know who wrote this article but is this really necessary to the discussion. Seems like more of hatred of Indians than just the scams

a lot of firms outsource customer service to India because its cheaper for them to operate. The same giant firms that spend billions lobbying politicians to make laws that work only for them so they can keep making money. Noble effort but this will literally never happen.

you know what I’m gonna try this lmao couldn’t possibly hurt at this point
