That's what I meant for giving it to us for free.

Also he got free photocopies from the school. That comes from tuition too.

Libgen had a 502 error a couple days ago. Glad to see them back.

Anyway completely opposite as one of my teachers. I had to buy my teachers book for his course. The book he gave us was a binder with photocopied pages... Wtf?...

You own the fucking copyright. Give it to us for free.

You are correct. TikTok uses Oracle servers in the USA with a backup server in Singapore. The FCC made sure data does not got to China.

I think it's because they sold hoodies which cost $60 instead of $35 and it looks like a third of the people donated money to the cause.

I get that they are doing this just because of the law so they stopped it when they got enough. But I wanted a shirt! lol.

Parenting is "self-appointed authority figures" rather than being called "parenting" now? Lol.

Data like "can we sell make up to minors because they only follow models? Looks like they are in the path to body dysmorphia, better send the results to local plastic surgeons."

Data like is "this teenager having issues with their parents and have no friends on their profile, so that makes them an easier target to join a welcoming group?"

When parenting was still called parenting and not 'self-appointed authority" (lol), parents prevented their children from hanging out with the same groups that social media is pushing on to them.

And you think the best things for developing minds to exposing them to these groups because according to you "it is just marketing".

There is a huge meaningful difference.

Again, this shows your ignorance on the topic.

This is the only update I've seen from it. Thank you for posting this.

Marketing can be really broad. You can market a shirt or you can convince someone to join a cult. And you can find out if someone is more likely to join a cult through the gathered data.

If you don't see the dangers of propaganda and misinformation, like I said:

Just saying cold calling and door-to-door is the same as the data gathering tactics now shows your ignorance on the topic.

So you want kids to understand cocaine and heroin and sex by a professional instead of a priest. If they don't then in your logic, they will fall on deaf ears.

Language is incredible. You can describe experiences that others have without actually being there or doing those things. It even works with fiction! Or horrible events like war! Or even drugs without exposing them to it!

Gatekeeping the Internet works the same way. If you’re going to do that, you might as well download the sex offender registry and invite them all to the kid’s birthday party.

I never said to prevent them from using the internet, I said social media.

While NSA did not possess the equipment required to access the footage from the media format in which it was preserved, NSA deemed the footage to be of significant public interest and requested assistance from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to retrieve the footage. NARA’s Special Media Department was able to retrieve the footage contained on two 1" AMPEX tapes and transferred the footage to NSA to be reviewed for public release.

This was a story a couple of months ago. Glad it worked out.

I wanted a dumb tv. I was so sick of looking, I just got a 27" gaming monitor with 2k resolution for $150.

You can also get a 32" 4K monitor for like $500 but I didn't really need that.

Direct mailing, cold calling, lead farming, door-to-door

None of those compare to what is happening now. Those are playing wack a mole hoping to get a sale. What's happening now is recording everything you show a reaction to, whether enjoyable or not, and use it against the user.

A list of names, address from marketers is nothing compared to the amount of data tech companies are getting from individuals.

Just saying cold calling and door-to-door is the same as the data gathering tactics now shows your ignorance on the topic.
