Not long ago Walmart got fined by the CCP for poor food practices. Instead of saying “we disagree with the judgement” they licked the boot and said they look forward working with the government to resolve the situation. Point is, corporations should be afraid of the government, clearly Google is not afraid of the EU and as a result I expect similar behavior from them in the future.

It’s a fucking popularity contest and you’re deluding yourself if you think voters can be disciplined.

Conway’s law strikes again!

Well, that’s why Facebook exists. The purpose of a system is what it does.

You could probably talk the same people who lost 98% of their “investment” to buy the dip

Oooph. There are critiques to be made of NATO but none of those absolve Russia of invading it’s neighbors.

The State respects and guarantees the learning and use of the languages ​​and scripts of ethnic minorities, promotes their standardization and the development of their information technology capabilities, and supports the preservation, compilation, research, and utilization of ancient texts belonging to ethnic minorities.

If you want me to explain something then just ask. And no, I don’t think you having an opinion that democracy has it’s limits is preventing families or friends from acting differently.

I must have missed the part where you corrected me (at least beyond not being an American). If anything it sounded like you were offering more evidence. You can attack me for saying the quiet part out loud, however it doesn’t diminish what’s being said.

I did not attach judgement to the observation. But thank you for sharing

I’m convinced most Americans don’t believe in democracy, not just our leaders. Exhibit A:

Maybe I should say “critical of algorithms”. The point is it’s not engineered to "maximize engagement "

Put the AI critique aside for a moment. Many people on lemmy dont like algorithms managing their feed. There’s probably a big overlap between people who are pervasively sensitive to dark algorithms and people who perceive AI as a dark algorithm parlor trick .
