I'm so sick of "those people" on the internet. You know the ones, the ten million python scripts amplifying political messages with the twitter API.

facebook stealing peoples data is not really making the world worse though, rather it turns out that universal unrestricted communication was a really bad idea, which is pretty bad news for humanity

Lowtax posted:But Facebook didn't really steal anybody's data... morons willingly gave it up. Exactly, there was never any stealing involved. Idiots, including myself decided "why not?" and signed on up to share cat photos and the latest thing we have digested, whilst also allowing our families to upgrade from chain email spam to commenting on every thing you decide to put online. The nerds that get the most angry about it are the nerds that didn't think of it first, because they sure as hell would be exploiting people as much as they could.
