Agreed, but let’s go one step deeper: Fuck the notion that privacy is an individual consumer right instead of a collective societal problem. I don’t “consent” to any of that crap, but I shouldn’t be able to at all. Legislate away the behaviors you don’t want, instead of pushing that onto people who don’t care. Corruption is wrong even if all parties “consent”. Extortion, election tampering, mass exploitation, same thing. The whole problem is the companies do what they want, don’t give a damn if data gets stolen, governments are in on it. That’s not an individual issue

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•if lemmy gets successful, how do we delay or prevent its enshittification?

Just a reminder that term limits for justices seem a good idea, but opens up another possibility for corruption when justices use the Supreme Court to set themselves up for a nice job somewhere else, most likely a lobbying firm. Maybe the benefits outweigh that, but it’s a thing to keep in mind
