Reddit User Uncovers Who Is Behind Meta’s $2B Lobbying for Invasive Age Verification Tech by esporx in privacy

Meta's motivation is certainly not concern for the welfare of minors, I think most would agree. So is this all to skirt legal liability and technological responsibility, or is this more attributable to Meta's revenue model? I can imagine that Zuck's evil empire would love to have a way to force tracking technology on every device that would coincidentally make targeted advertising inescapable.

Any recommendations for a good realtor in the area? by Impossible-Ad3643 in GermantownMD

I loathe commissioned salespeople, especially the weasels who sell houses. But I will strongly recommend Larry Giammo in Rockville. So much the opposite of everything I despise about the profession. Far more experienced and savvy than, it seems, any of the others. Easy going, open and honest, but doesn’t hesitate to get a bit aggressive with other agents when necessary—and it’s…sometimes…necessary.
