Of course people have a right to speak about what they want, but reddit is not a country. It's a company that can decide whether they tolerate certain ideologies and behaviours on their platform.
What's the benefit of fooling advertisers? So then I will get ads that I'm even less interested in?

I just watched the official launch video for Libra and it's just disgusting how silicon valley is abusing the image of "poor" people or people from developing countries to sell a philanthropist idea while their true intentions are just more money and more power.

Also, naked selfies have somewhat become normal in the smartphone age. It's nothing you can shock anybody with anymore...
Very well described.
So you're trying to tell me the people who own the most expensive smartphones have the smallest income? Nice try Huawei.
So who gets the money from all these fines? Because the normal customer never sees a penny.

Re:Warner Music Group Sells Entire Stake in Spotify on Thursday August 09, 2018 @10:55AM (#17724688)
Besides Apple Music I don't see any real competitors right now. Also Spotify's subscriber numbers keep growing rumored to be double of Apple Music's. https://www.statista.com/statistics/244995/number-of-paying-...
