“Chinese authorities have far-reaching access rights to personal data within the sphere of influence of Chinese companies,” she added.
And that’s different to American companies how? None of this climate of data harvesting is currently good for us.
That’s uh…what she said?
A general strike is your only hand. So start prepping for that.
My partner would have been haggling that vendor down to a £1.
Maybe so. I don’t remember the packaging half as clearly as I do the crappy chocolate.
I think I remember these. They were a low quality chocolate stick wrapped in paper. I didn’t like them. I think I got that they were preying on kid’s desire to ape adult behaviours but I may be conflating a decade of memories.

They’d just ‘devide’ up their businesses into a chain of symbiotic entities defined by paygrade. Then the executive level can enrich itself insulated from us front line grunts.
Devide
verb
Obsolete form of divide.

Oh look, here comes FlyingSquid.
I could swear I heard that whole ACER laptop angle a couple of months ago on someone else’s podcast. I don’t want to say verbatim but I was having severe dejayvu. It wasn’t a Doctorow podcast that much I’m sure.
Got that Lord Percy from Blackadder II energy.
One of the lard arses that populate my garden.
They are called drays. Squirrels, even though you see them chasing and fighting each other during the day, are actually quite communal in that they’ll sleep together for warmth. This leads to a build up of fleas. To deal with this they usually have a number of drays on the go and vacate the ones that have too much flea activity.
Me too.
Tired and hungry reply.
I let them get under my skin and pulled you into the firing range too. I think I was hoping for some recognition of how they were off the mark with their intolerant twist on the nazi bar parable. They weren’t asking for obvious nazi to be censored but .ml and anyone who spoke up for them.
My sincerest apologies.
Are you trolling? You’ve consistantly avoided making any qualative evaluation of either of our posts. Every response you have made is losely supportive of their demands for toxic authoritarian censorship.
Their logic is the same as the racist complaining that all african americans are criminals and rapists and you’re wringing your hands while presenting tabloid clippings of crimes african americans have been found guilty, without comment.
It’s highly ironic that either of you think that this is how you fight facism.
They should be banned. No one was arguing otherwise.
Their offensive McCarthyite screed wasn’t based on protecting victimised minorities from facists it was trying to protect the orthodoxy of establishment inculcation.
Which gives superficial comfort as it gives scant protection from how aggregate data is used to upend democracy.
