Since all they are is a camera with bluetooth functionality to move things to a phone or tablet, the only hacks that seem to have come out are people finding ways to make it record more than 10 seconds of video at once. And of course, people determining the best way to cover over the "i'm recording now" LED indicators.

Of course not. The whole point isn't that you think chickens are cool or that you want high quality eggs (though chances are the chickens are getting terrible dietary supplements and/or are eating soylent rendering that point moot). The point is to do something ~new and special~ that makes you hip and remarkable and lets you smugly pretend you're ~connecting with your roots~ while just happening to also show off your money in a roundabout way.

Having an actual yard in this town implies being a multi-millionaire. I don't see how the chickens are relevant.

Raising chickens as egg laying family pets has been a thing forever, being upset about this seems really weird. Pretty much every picture in the whole article shows a family with a little kid. What a weird thing to be angry about.

Most people don't keep them in $20000 coops and feed them steak and organic watermelon. Also, consider that this is Silicon "gently caress the poor and long live our property values" Valley. These same people will gladly block homeless housing assistance while spending a full family's income on chickens. It's just one more plop on a big poo poo sundae.

I mean, it's talking about people with like 20 chickens and some sheep and stuff. I am sure you can build a barn or whatever for less than 20,000 but that is not even any sort of crazy amount. Not so crazy anyone needs to clutch pearls over it.

Proactively policing private messages is not a thing any major form of communication does. If Facebook wants to move in that direction it’s not necessarily bad but it makes sense they would proceed with a lot of input on how to make those policies. Like it’d be really wild if a phone company announced it was going to actively screen all calls for pedophiles and it might be good if they did but they probably would do survays too on how to figure out a policy like that. Especially if they were looking at a range of policing, like if an email company was going to search all messages for drug deals that would be horrific but looking for pedophiles sorta doesn’t bother me and figuring out where people break on that stuff seems not crazy.

No it makes no sense to ask if adults sexually harassing children is ok. It's already manifestly not ok.

Absolutely not ok. But like, no other medium of communication proactively policies something like that. Like it would be an absolutely massive deal if a phone company or something did it. But at the same time it does really make sense for facebook to be in a good position to monitor private messages in a way that is different than other sorts of private messages so it's not crazy to suggest they should. Still, if they are looking to monitor and moderate private communication it makes sense for them to seek input from the public on how to best do it. Like I guess it made a laugh o rama by having generic questions that don't apply well to something so illegal and immoral as sexting children but it was a multi question survey about a bunch of topics and they all had the same set of possible answers.

It's literally a crime to sexually harass children, and the question is "in an ideal world, what should we do". There can be no other answer than "don't allow this".

I mean, literally every other form of private communication ignores it. maybe they shouldn't but you can call people on the phone or send letters in the mail or through email or text messages or slack or twitter DMs or something and commit all sorts of crimes and they all turn a blind eye and at most passively store things incase a warrant comes. Facebook being proactive about it might be a good thing, but it's not the normal way this stuff works so determining how policy on something like that should be formed isn't a nutty idea. It's gonna be a thing someone is gonna have to figure out the details on. Especially if it's for many types of crime.

a) no, "literally every other form" doesn't
b) It's asking for an ideal world, and if your answer for in an ideal world is anything but "no sexual harassment" then you shouldn't be allowed near kids.

Enough about all the ways you harass kids and get away with it, all sorts of email providers will monitor incoming and outgoing messages (particularly business email servers), Slack will absolutely let administrators monitor direct messages - it's a feature Slack has for paid use to meet records compliance requirements. And all sorts of sites out there do keep track of messages between users that aren't "public".
