“A small LED light is designed to indicate when recording is taking place, but RTBF’s investigators found that tutorials explaining how to conceal the indicator are abundant and easily accessible online.”

Sometimes I have a hard time deciding who I despise more, parasite Mark Zuckerberg or its witless hosts who keep using its products—yes, Zuck’s pronoun is it. Ban Ray-Ban, for frick’s sake.

    I’m asking you to keep your cock in your pants.

    It is so fucked that in modern life I have to waste my time with conservatives trying to endlessly relitigate exactly what about being a pedophile is bad, and with tech fetishists exactly why being an asshole in public is wrong.

    Spaceballs, if you’re standing somewhere over the grand canyon with your phone out, obviously filming a family of three that does not want to be filmed, what the fuck are you doing? Do you find joy in being an unlikeable loser? Do you often think you just aren’t lonely enough?

    I don’t know what it is you want me to say to you. In my ideal world, Facebook wouldn’t be allowed to make this product in the first place.

      I’m saying you don’t get to decide what other people do in public. You want to be able to control everyone and force them to act the way you want them to act. Just because you think someone is being rude doesn’t mean I find them rude. I don’t want the government to be able to dictate that. If you have a problem with being filmed don’t go out in public.

        I do get to, actually, through a little process called shame.

        You want to be able to control everyone and force them to act the way you want them to act.

        We already do this. You cannot murder, you can’t piss in public, a lot of states don’t allow open carry, you can be shooed off the premises for smoking in the wrong areas. And, you can’t pull your dick out. “Controlling” the way people act is actually absurdly common.
