    We need you Lina Khan. We need you, but stronger, faster, better. Let’s fucking go.

      People in this thread don’t seem to understand how anti big business the FTC has been since Lina Khan was appointed. These reports are meant to be used by congress to help guide real policy. It’s one thing to just assume social media is violating privacy, it’s another thing to have a facts-based report on exactly what is currently happening.

      Of course the FTC needs new laws to do any enforcement and there’s probably not enough anti corporation politicians to pass laws that give them real teeth on data privacy issues.

    That’s literally the sales pitch to investors, and has been for decades.

    So this is why I switched to the fediverse. But to be honest, I have no idea if someone does things like that here or not. All my posts are public to everyone and machine readable. The only thing which would prevent someone of survailing users on the fediverse is it’s very small scale. It is probably just not worth the effort.
