But how is little Timmy going to pay for his new skate park and music videos now?!
getting bots to fake engagement for a profit is money laundering, believe it or not. its a pretty vague crime that basically amounts to getting paid in a way thats deceptive.
most lilely money laundering. Not really a new scam just adding AI to an old one
admits isnt the right word, they are exaggerating their capabilities for the sake of marketing themselves to other marketing people who have no idea how device permissions or internet packets work.
“We always knew it”… No you just didnt know about your own confirmation basis, you didnt notice all those times when you hadn’t talked about whatever you never shop for and it was shown in ads anyway.
If a marketing company had the ability to spy on behalf of advertising whats stopping some random app or the local police dept from doing it? And you can bet if this was at all possible the cops would be all over it to monitor “criminals”
Is that supposed to be a whataboutism? You mean the same administration that launched a national database for police misconduct? That one? They’re funding STATE cops? how? Or do you mean the feds beating up protesters like that time trump sent Homeland Security to abduct protesters off the street and detain them without charges, did The Biden admin do that too at some point because if they did I must have missed it. So what is your point exactly, that we should enable fascists because why fight it if bOtH SiDeS ArE thE SaME?
send more AND put you in jail for protesting that he’s sending more
Unless you need online multiplayer it doesn’t make much difference. I have my switch block Nintendo by DNS so its effectively me banning them instead of the other way around but if they did ban me I probably wouldn’t notice.
Seeing someone that dark in a maga hat almost looks like blackface
Can they actually prove anyone worked at McDonalds that long ago? Aside from saving a pay stub for 40 years I don’t see how one could prove or disprove such a thing, I doubt the company keeps records of every employee that far back.
falls under official acts apparently.
there are trans mormons?
the corps that run the services outsource the job of sending out notices, the companies they pay to do it will flag anything and everything that even hints at piracy. they just have to justify their paycheck.
im just speculating but it would make sense to me if a lot of these piracy troll agencies get paid based on how many notices get complied with and a lot of places are just going to comply without any pushback, even if there is pushback for false flags its not like there are legal consequences for wrong ones so they just flag everything they find and see what sticks.
Its not a violation, they’re just abusing the DMCA because they know people won’t/can’t afford to fight them.
Does getting an invite mean you can use it without paying? I stopped with Usenet like 15 years ago when my ISP stopped offering it for free. Not really interested in paying another subscription just to pirate stuff but if I can get an invite for free I’d love to check it again and see what all the fuss is about.
I don’t really have a problem with the posts/articles you share in general but you must realize you post a pretty large volume in general compared to the average user (politcal or not), and most of them get down voted by a lot. I think its honest of to post it all from a single account, I don’t think you are a plant but there is an arguement to be made that you are pushing forward an agenda that is, just not what people here want. I’m not saying you ARE pushing an agenda, Im just saying I can see how it might appear that way to some. Similarly to how I don’t believe RFK or Jill Stein are literally russian operatives but I do see how Putin might benefit from their actions.
I say i hope you dont get banned because its clear from all the down votes that a lot of people disagree with what you’re posting, not that I think you should be banned, but just online communities and moderators being how they are you never know. You seem genuine to me, but I’m probably in the minority on /c/politics
Okay so hear me out on this since you seem to care about third parties… I think if you legit have the objective of getting 3rd parties included long term you need to support ones that have down ballot options, the greens very rarely do but LIbertarians almost always have at least someone for governor or senate or at state levels, so while i don’t actually think Libertarians are the better option (Althought i’d rank them above Republicans), I think if you want to support the general idea of 3rd parties, the most pragmatic choice is to support libertarians. This WAS my strategy for elections I didnt care about till 2016 (i’m in a solid blue state which also plays in, I’d vote different if i wasnt).
Maybe its because I’m older, or maybe its actually just the legitimate threat of fascism, but after Trump won his first term I switched to pretty much fully supporting democrats. I’ll probably still vote third party for future elections that i think don’t matter but I consider the people behind Trump too big of a risk at this point. I think defeating Trump would actually also help Third parties in a sort of way because if he wins everyone will fall in line behind him but if he loses there will likely be a pretty big rift among the right and some portion of them are going to move to the Libertarian party.
While I’m probably more ideologically aligned with the platform of the green party, I dont think they have any realistic chance of making a positive difference. They seem to not really have great leadership or enough support to run down ballot candidates. It will be interesting to see if RFK or Cornell West do worse then Stein but I kind of doubt it
Honestly though, with biden dropping out and walz getting picket for VP, I’m genuinely optimistic about the democratic ticket now, sure they arent perfect and they will need to be under constant pressure from the left to do the right things, but personally they’ve earned my vote at this point.
Anyways, I hope you don’t get banned, I’m really curious to see what you post AFTER the election is over.
Gotta love when the article saying adblock-blocking doesn’t work is itself preceded by a notice to disable your adblocker
This dude is on a one man quest to promote third parties on Lemmy, and the crazy thing to me is how generally non combative and polite they are. It seems like rage bait and every one of their posts gets massive down votes but then you see their comments are all like "well I respect your opinion but I disagree’… I really can’t tell if this is just a master level troll or some deep cover Russian op.
you need to get a different device. As others suggested a watch is your best bet but dont expect those options to respect your privacy any more or less than google.
