U.N have occupied Haiti on multiple occasions

Threats & intimidation?

Just spitballing here…

The official position is it has an enclave that locally listens only for the wake-word, and when it hears that, it activates the audio connection to the cloud.

It’s taking screenshots.

Look, can’t we agree that neither country gives a shit about the working class?

I have almost the exact opposite take on China.

Shit government, surveil people, torture people, no internet-freedom.

Their huge massive redeeming feature os that they REALLY give a shit about their working class.

The top one is taken from a website called vividmaps where it’s countries the USA has had some sort of conflict with

List of wars being involved in is not a list of countries being invaded and occupied, nice try though.

The bottom map is just a white map.

Garbage meme 1/5

and with the USSR

One 😂😂😂 bit is the way it even uses a purer shade of white for China.

See? You could have said that instead of posting falsified maps

powerful posting.

What’s the Situationist term for this? Absorption or something.

I don’t think the issues you raise are valid.

It costs more than zero to levy a fine, but we are talking about many billions in income here. Your point would be valid if gathering staff and then fining Google 9 billion were a net zero. It isn’t.

We are likely better off having that money reinvested in preventing other companies from these practices.

Which is what I suggested. The best way to prevent these practices is libre alternatives.

Take some of that money you get fining surveillance-capitalists and use it to fund privacy-respecting libre alternatives
