The Wall Street Journal reported that Meta plans to move to a “Pay for your Rights” model, where EU users will have to pay $ 168 a year (€ 160 a year) if they don’t agree to give up their fundamental right to privacy on platforms such as Instagram and Facebook. History has shown that Meta’s regulator, the Irish DPC, is likely to agree to any way that Meta can bypass the GDPR. However, the company may also be able to use six words from a recent Court of Justice (CJEU) ruling to support its approach.

    When you bring it back around again to the current scale, so much more terrifying. Bc “they” becomes “humans” and speaking of humans as “the other” makes one what?

      It ain’t that deep

      “They” are the users. That makes him the owner. “They” means humans most of the time, since we don’t know any aliens

        Yes, the things you shared are accurate. What does that have to do with… Zuck’s comments at the global scale would imply he is something other than human?

          They don’t imply that

          They just imply he owns a service most of the world uses

        Neofascists and rightwingers often use “they” to refer to the evil Jew/lizard and so on. Since they are neo-Nazis, they do this to brainwash people and demonise Jews.

          Everyone says “they” when talking about a group that isn’t “us”

          That’s just how language works
