This definitely is a data privacy issue. They collect your data any they use it in some mathematical model to assess risk with some poorly thought out proxy, and boom: a bunch of people get falsely classified as risks to the platform. It's like the value added model for teachers, and Cathy O'Neil addresses this in Weapons of Math Destruction.

I'm talking about you, and you're talking about yourself. You're making a big fuss about "SJWs" who offer thoughts and prayers and saying you welcome a more equitable system, but that you will continue perpetuating the feedback loop of inequality until someone else comes along and fixes it. Instead of feeding into a system that you claim nobody else making these lengthy speeches is actually working to fix, why not take steps to join the swafts of people making real efforts to fix it? You're generalizing a bunch of people as grifters who are working in the self-interest of the disenfranchised.

I'm an atheist, and I don't offer thoughts and prayers. I offer discourse, and change starts with that. I think you're trying to generalize an entire group of people because you've seen several politicians grift. There are leftists out there that genuinely want to help. But the left and the right is has been infiltrated with fallacious ideas of a self-regulating market, a concept that we've seen exploit children and poor communities across the globe over and over again. And the only thing you have to say is "well at least these poor people are getting paid more dollars than they would be?"

"But until it comes I will take an option that is significantly better than anything I can get locally."

You support the idea of a just and equitable economy, but until it comes you'll sit on the sidelines and perpetuate and support entities that maintain the opposite? Look, I admire where you came from and your success, but you've internalized capitalism and justified its side effects as a result. I too came from nothing and am now successful (relatively).
