and ironically, to have a decent democracy you get even more privileges when you sign up on the political side.

makes you wonder if the side that can do less damage (enlisted serviceman) require the more draconian agreement after all.

Speaking in the most general sense possible, having your armed forces firmly under control is traditionally a core part of staying in power; it's also very generally true that no person making the rules is going to actively hinder their own ability to keep doing so.

That's why it's super important to keep them aware that the little people are watching and taking notes; that's literally the only trump card we all have.

so very wrong. but unfortunately a common misconception in the colonial world we live in.

older car models are not made in 3rd world because of some grandiose benevolent plan to bring robustness and cheap cars to the poor pitiful people.

older models are usually more expensive to produce, less economical to run, have less confort and everything, and the margins are lower. BUT, the tooling and RD cost is already paid for. so with zero investment (simply shipping what would be scrap metal otherwise) they can extract profits from markets starved of any other offering. And let's not forget they negotiate tax breaks on top, after all they bring jobs to the poor pitiful people.

the fact there is no "household" or "user targeting" to be found in this comment thread with currently 265 comments tell me there are only clueless pundits.

every single advertising company already sell advertisements by "household" where they clump together all accounts assumed to be from one user and their family/roommates, effectively going back to aggregate IP targeting, but not saying its using IPs because that tarnish things with GDPR et al.

also, even if not using household, they sell by "people targeting" vs the old "device targeting", which again breaks all account separation people here assume.

I strongly suggest people minimally interested in privacy or advertising to create an account with any advertising network, or at the very least look up youtube videos on how marketers create and target campaigns.
