They still record your IP address and link it to all the sites you visit that have a facebook script.

Really sad to see this being downvoted.

Overpopulation is the root cause of many other serious issues such as hunger, lack of access to sanitation/medical treatment/education. We live in a world with finite resources, so the more of us there are, the less each of us gets.

The author implies that there was a real public opposition against the GDPR.

Is this really the case? All I've seen is praise.

And more importantly - can anything at all be done about it?

It seems that certain interests will carry through no matter what.

Let me be the devil's advocate for a moment:

Why is it a problem if Google knows more about you? Doesn't it just mean that you will be served content more relevant to you?

How else would you deal with cybersquatters?

Our economic system is based on growth, I believe.

Population growth increases demand for goods and services. This generates new jobs, venture opportunities and increases the value of existing assets such as real estate and securities. Overall population growth creates a positive spiral in the economic sense.

Of course none of this takes into account that we live in a world with limited resources. And there is no incentive to do so - as long as you have sufficient assets that stand to rise in value. It's the people who have the least that suffer the most from overpopulation.

>the primary goal of any for profit company is to make profit

I couldn't agree more.

But they haven't turned a profit since 2013.

What's even more annoying is that it took me 10 minutes of googling to figure out what their annual net results are. Revenue shows up as the first result on google, but if you want to see the net result, you actually have to look through their quarterly reports.

Author presumes 100% of programming time is spent typing/editing.

Is this really the case? I'd wager it's close to 10% for most people.

>our mission is to fix the fake news problem.

Sincere question: Why is it a problem?

Contrarian opinion:

Saying "I'm a good communicator" is the most succinct and clear way of communicating that one is a good communicator.
