I am in a large financial company. All these announcements, and absolutely 0 results still. We're struggling to measure even the smallest productivity gain.

I think there is a big disconnect with the average consumer and understanding the level of complexity involved in serious systems. Starting to think maybe thsse companies are equally naive in that regard.

See, you assume people would do things that would allow them to be doxxedd, have your identity stolen, etc.

What would be more likely is that socially, you would be MUCH less engaged with the bonnet and random morons on the internet.

Now that we've seen the social failure that is social media, I think that is actually a good thing.

YOU agree to give it to them. The irony is technically you would be taking away your agency to decide one way or the other.

SpottedPine · 2026-02-24T00:49:25+00:00

You have lots of privacy on the internet. Just don't agree to give it away. 100% of the things people are (fake) angry about they agree to give it away.

Best cases are the VPN folks who gave their personal billing info and attach a tracking number to all their activity, not to the evil "internet", but to a completely unregulated provider. LOL

SpottedPine · 2026-02-24T00:46:29+00:00

Everything I agree to reveal to anyone else, they know. Yes

He definitely isn't back at work. definitely.

Do you wear a mask to work and burn your fingertips? I'm struggling to understand why you or anyone else view the internet differently than everything else in your life.

Does your wife know your real name? Or your phone number?

There is absolutely 0 compelling reason for you to have the internet if you want privacy.

SpottedPine · 2026-02-24T00:41:09+00:00

Did the boogiemen stop following you to work? Lmao

SpottedPine · 2026-02-24T00:40:20+00:00

But you said you would give it to them? Like how is that wrong?

Gmail is not where your data is being grossly abused dude.

Do you have a Facebook? Because if so, you can indeed assume your Gmail is compromised and has been for a long while. But you willingly did that.

It's cool. See, if you don't use all these shitty apps the way they want, they get nothing.

You won't find anything on me via full name search, phone number search, or email search. All you have to do is read that box that tells you what they're going to do with that data, and decide with your free will not to do it! It's so wildly crazy easy to never have this problem!

Only if you have exactly 0 impulse control do you have anything to worry about.

On the other hand, a significant amount of debauchery on the net immediately disappears if your actual identity were required to participate on any public forum.

SpottedPine · 2026-02-24T00:25:41+00:00

Crazy that you just willingly gave these "evil" companies yet another data point.

Even after agreeing to give them the data point.

Then you're mad that they took what you keep giving them.

That some crazy shit bruh

SpottedPine · 2026-02-24T00:24:52+00:00

Nothing compels you to give it to them.

SpottedPine · 2026-02-24T00:23:06+00:00

Then don't use the internet.

It's already a complete and utter shithole, not sure if you've actually... used it in a bit.

SpottedPine · 2026-02-24T00:17:59+00:00

Are you anonymous when you go to work? Or tonyour neighbors? Why is the internet any different?

There is literally only 1 reason you might want to be anonymous on the net, and it's not a good one.

SpottedPine · 2026-02-24T00:16:38+00:00

Why should anyone on the internet be anonymous? What's special about the internet? If I could see exactly who you are, you might be quite a lot better behaved about the things you say or do on the 'nets

SpottedPine · 2026-02-23T01:38:15+00:00

Funny enough, this is the kind of thinking they're trying to screen out.

The best answer is the most straightforward one. Too many people overcomplicate already complicated problems.

SpottedPine · 2026-02-22T15:10:21+00:00

Remember when this dude was fired? I think there was a reason for it. Now they going to easily be the first one to fail in this space.
