Sorry mate, hell's gonna get cold before this happens. We're talking about the biggest moth******ers on earth since always. Do you think Meta/[insert big tech company name here] will start to behave all of the sudden? These people literally KILL people everyday for a profit (looking at you Instagram).
The only way to get something from these scumbags is fining them something like 100k per hour, until they start respecting people's privacy
I did already say I don't expect this to ever change, so "sorry mate," but you're not exactly telling me anything I don't know here.
But I suspect this was a knee-jerk rant typed before bothering to read past what you quoted. Oh well. Good thing I can still stand against something even if I don't expect it to change much.
Sorry if it sounded rude (and yeah, it was kind of a rant, sorry). What I'm trying to say is: these people do much worse things and don't bother to say "sorry" publicly. The only way to make them behave is to fine them by a huge amount, just like Norway did.
Well, we can agree on that! Make paying contributors the cheaper option.
I won't hold my breath though. :')
