How about China tracking where a dissenting Chinese ex-patriate is?

Also, did you read your own fucking comment? You asked why my government needs help from corporations to sway public opinion - my response simply clarified that foreign governments do.

Just look at what Russia did in 2016 as an example.

I’m not talking about my government, I’m talking about foreign ones.

Edit: also, where do you think your government gets all this information from?

So you’re not gonna respond to any other part of my comment?

I understand you might not care about my last point, not many people do, but the first three are much more important.

Kinda?

I’m also afraid of corporations teaming up with governments and using their extremely comprehensive data sets to influence public opinion.

I’m also afraid of the fact that many people no longer care about privacy, and might not care if the government tries to implement dystopian systems like those seen in China, as long as it “keeps them safe”.

Do you tell every person you meet on the street where you live and what your phone number is?

If not, why tell Mark Zuckerberg?

Letting corporations brain wash you because you like using their app lol

SX OS has anti-piracy measures in place which literally brick your switch.

Fuck Gary Bowser and Team Xecuter in general, he doesn’t deserve the punishment he got but I feel no sympathy for him.

Read up on how they stole GPL’d code from other Switch hackers for their closed source SX OS, and then had the fucking nerve to charge for it.

Piracy is one thing, but what they did hurt the Switch hacking scene, for their own profit.

“Amateurish”? This is literally a server for hosting pirated games, who gives a fuck.

Also, if your first thought after reading the word crackpipe is black people, maybe you’re the racist one.

And even if in the US it does have this connotation (IDK I’m not American), why should Europeans care?
