I mean, ideally no one would side blindly at all :D

That's the issue with people's from a certain side of politics, they don't vote for something they always side / vote against something or someone ... Blindly. It's like pure hate going over reason. But it's ok they are the 'good' ones so they are always right and don't really need to think

Sometimes people are just too lazy to read an article. If you just gave one argument in favor of Meta, then perhaps that could have started a useful conversation.

Perhaps… if a sane person could find anything in favor of one of the most Evil corporations in the history of mankind…

>if a sane person could find anything in favor of one of the most Evil corporations in the history of mankind.

You need some perspective - Meta wouldn't even crack the top 100 in terms of evil:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_involved_in_...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuPont#Controversies_and_crime...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiquita

all of the combined pales in comparison to what meta did and is doing to society at the scale of which they are doing it

this alone is worse than all of what you listed combined

No... making teenagers feel depressed sometimes is not in fact worse than facilitating the Holocaust, using human limbs as currency, enslaving half the world and dousing the earth with poisons combined.

it is when you consider number of people affected

No, it isn't.

I'm not saying Meta isn't evil - they're a corporation, and all corporations are evil - but you must live in an incredibly narrow-minded and privileged bubble to believe that Meta is categorically more evil than all other evils in the span of human history combined.

Go take a tour of Dachau and look at the ovens and realize what you're claiming. That that pales in comparison to targeted ads.

Just... no.

Dachau was enabled by the Metas of that time. It needed advertising aka. propaganda to get to this political regime and it needed surveillance to keep people in check and target the people who get a sponsorship for that lifelong vacation.

Depends on the visibility of the weapon used and the time scale it starts to show the debilitating effects.

I feel the same but about the EU. After all, I have a choice whether to use Meta or not. There is no escaping the EU sort of leaving my current life.

Meta famously tracks people extensively even if they don't have an account there, through a technique called shadow profiles.

That's fair, but you don't need to blindly side with anyone.

My original post was about all the comments saying they knew nothing about the regulation, but that they sided with Europe.

I think that gleeful ignorance caught me off guard.
