The fears, however reasonable you may find them, are largely that it presents a danger of foreign information gathering of detailed behavioral/location/interest/social network information on a huge swath of the U.S. population which can be used either for intelligence purposes or targeted influence/psyops campaigns within the U.S.
Tbh, I’m troubled by my own government doing that to us.
How about making data collection other than necessary to operate a website illegal, then making the sale of that data illegal, and absolutely require a warrant to collect it, including from FISA court?
I doubt it’s denting the bottom* line as much as the recent court rulings. And I doubt it’s as much paying bills as it is paying vested interests.
Maybe tech school should require electives like philosophy, logic, ethics, sociology and psychology classes? This used to be required here, but isn’t, anymore.
Legislators have been ignoring the vote, too.
Wait, they said nothing productive was coming from the thread, including themselves, then locked it? I’m a little confused, what was the ban for?

I know a lot of our wildlife and even domestic animal friends have the odds against them, and maybe the person who put the owl in the bin even mistook it for dead. I really don’t know the details. But the term was changed from ecosystem to ecoweb to illustrate our interdependence.
We really need to stop treating animals like commodities. This hurts my heart.
What an expressive face! He looks as if he’s just been scolded!@
