While I agree the problem is systemic, not int he way you state. The issue here is not that people can be irresponsible with data and that data may relate to you. The issue is that you dont have a fundamental right to anonymity in any situation with law. Simply enshrining a fundamental right to anonymity will go a long way to address the problem as I would have a right to be able to use any service without the need of providing any identifying information to begin with.

@KimPerales

This unfairly targets the people doing the buying rather than the people selling their vote.

Instead of "Musk & other wealthy ppl bought the election" I prefer "The general population sold their vote to the highest bidder, basing their vote on who had the prettiest ad."

We need to stop blaming the rich, they can only manipulate us if we sell ourselves to begin with. They have no power but the power we give them.

More importantly blaming the rich isnt something we can solve without making things worse, where not letting the rich being able to buy us **is** something everyone can solve right now without requiring any changes.

Everyone always wants to blame someone else, its never them or their group that is the problem, and THAT is the problem.

It has been erected since 1522....

@Raccoon

Yea if thats an important thing to you that seems like a reasonable way to respond.

@freeschool

My company's name is CleverThis.. So I agree :)

@profcarroll

Thats a lot of words for "Trump won fair and square".. I mean I dont like the guy, but he won, and had a surprisingly high turnout of female voters contrary to what everyone claimed.

Oops, thanks

What is a toilet timer? Some sort of british slang?

@KimPerales

Im not sure nonpartisan is an honest term here. Civil servants are heavily democrat in their breakdown last time I looked at those numbers, very heavily. This is likely why trump wanted to replace them, they are heavily partisan against him.

That said what we mean is if those positions are hired without awareness of party affiliation or not. I do tend to agree with your premise that they should not be hired specifically due to their affiliation.

anything that isnt america is our "backyard" :)

@Raccoon They used to block anyone from twitter who promoted maastodon or the fediverse. Just posting the url would get you blocked... Did they officially stop doing that?

@gme

I find it interesting someone from universeodon, a anti-community server, is asking about community building. Like you guys literally block servers specifically because they are building communities between the left and right, QOTO included, and buying into accusations without evidence.

You literally cant make that comment from a universeodon server and expect to be taken seriously.

Smart move since unlike my statements this is a complete fabrication. We dont even have the data yet about party-affiliation specific demographics of the vote.
