Facebook's capital and access to oceans of customer data sure isn't going to die, though. Maybe mutate
Looks like you didn't see them get tucked out of billions in EU courts for profiting off their users data
Oh nice, if I'm understanding you
Yeah, my point is that there are fewer and fewer markets that let the profit off of people this way. Either they die or they find an ethical way to make money, that doesn't violate peoples data rights.
That's undeniably a good thing, but I'm still cynical that capital will ever find a truly "ethical" niche to exploit.
Of course that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to legally constrain it as much as possible, as I've just learned has been done in the EU, thank you!
