I think a much bigger issue with tech is censorship and surveillance of political opposition, not the recording of someone's age and gender.
Two questions:
- What do you think should be done about the legacy media that is doing the same?
- Should social media promote boring posts, or actively censor political content in favour of a certain viewpoint, or anything else? Perhaps a real-life name registration for anyone with over 1000 followers, like in China?
The reasons I've seen are:
> it creates a risk of bad self-image for young girls
It's a parent's job to educate your children. There are much worse things than Facebook out there.
> it collects data
Literally no harm in knowing that someone is interested in JavaScript, cats and fetish porn, and targeting ads to that user.
> it's addictive
So is sex, marijuana, and collecting stamps.
> it helps organize protests
Good.
> mobile phones are addictive
> internet is used to organize protests
I didn't have to read an article to see that it's pure speculation based on nothing.
Yes, it could surge to $50k, or it could also fall to $50. Technically it is true.
