Wow expert. Much analysis.

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.

Looking at my phone and macbook with built-in batteries, I realize a car with a swappable battery is not something we can achieve as humanity.

I don't disagree with you, but USDC and USDT are identical in their transparency, yet everyone hates USDT.

I don't see an issue with learning the age of the customers who come into the store.

I think a much bigger issue with tech is censorship and surveillance of political opposition, not the recording of someone's age and gender.

Is this the first major porn site to be hacked?

To recap, you seem to be concerned that all social media are allowing posts to become popular, and those posts sometimes promote hatred towards conservatives or liberals.

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?

What's the advantage of using a Chinese platform instead of Facebook in terms of privacy, freedom of speech or political influence?

Why?

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.

This sounds so extremely far-fetched and designed to create a negative impression of Facebook. Does anyone even take this seriously? If yes, why?

> mobile phones are addictive

> internet is used to organize protests

That's the thing, COVID is an "eternal war" as described in dystopian novels. If you describe COVID in war terms, then it justifies all sorts of atrocities.
