Actually it's just price fixing and no ownership that's doing it.

If you see anything on social media, assume it's a lie and look it up elsewhere.

Good news, if push comes to shove he can make official acts and ignore them.

All those subprime lenders had to go somewhere where there isn't as much regulation...

Imagine how much easier it will be to influence the next generation of US politicians who have no privacy whatsoever, and whose thought patterns are well documented.

We're already dealing with the aftermath of this with US Corps evidenced by the destruction of unions and workers rights if you replace "privacy" with "education." Why is privacy important

One of the biggest lies I see is this foreign adversary being a bigger threat than the endless local adversaries (capitalists) that are actually destroying this country. The Chinese didn't destroy the healthcare industry, nor rail, energy, telecommunications, airline, financial industries. They have not suppressed the regulating of the internet, religion in politics, nor have they aided to the degrading of education, social security, disability support, or our laws against bribing politicians.

US companies have seen similar criticism, antitrust suits, and billions in fines.

Nah, they haven't, otherwise we'd have laws (regulations) around them that would prevent them from, say, in the tech industry, distributing our data.

…there is a big difference between selling bits of redacted data to ad companies, and providing raw database access to a foreign adversary with malicious intent.

We know of techniques to pull out excess data from claimed "anonymized" datasets. Can you prove this data is redacted more effectively than that? Can you prove that they are only selling to ad companies? Can you prove it's more malicious intent?

The answer is no, because we already avoided regulating this industry due to internal malicious actors.

Maybe on the inner clear part?

Wanted to see where you were at after being so stuck you couldn't see that Biden was a bad choice and that it wasn't too late. And maybe an apology would be nice for name calling.

Damn I was wondering when the person against Biden dropping out who I talked to bit ago went. You're certainly still convinced Biden was the choice right?

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Estrogen, is in fact, GNU/Estrogen, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Estrogen. Estrogen is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Estrogen, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Estrogen, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Estrogen is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Estrogen is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Estrogen added, or GNU/Estrogen. All the so-called Estrogen distributions are really distributions of GNU/Estrogen!
