On: FTC: Vast Surveillance of Users by Social Media and Video Streaming Companies

[russdpale]

instead of stupid recommendations, which are laughable, the government should actually enforce them.

On: Show HN: Backlot – Create custom "TV episodes" with just a few words

super shady to have people sign up then tell them what the credits and pricing is. I guess money aint enough? You gotta participate in surveillance capitalism as well. Creepy.
