"informed"

Which means the informed US public trusts their instiutions less than their counterparts in south africa, russia, and poland

Considering that its now legal for the south afircan government to take land away from white people, it would be fair to say that the US is currently expirencing a trust crisis

To be fair many of the people in South Africa aren't white and don't have to worry about having shit taken from them

According to page 11, now NGOs, Media, Business and Government all have less than 50% trust in the US

For the general public

Not hard to see why

Wells Fargo is still reeling from a scandal where locations across the country opened additonal accounts without customer consent or knowledge and siphoned off their money through account fees

Amazon is now offering the ability to let people walk into your home to deliver packages

I still don't get how Amazon thought that was good idea

It would be less creepy if they werent selling home automation systems and locks at the same time

I wish they had a better distinction with Journalism vs Platforms though. I kinda wish there were four categories instead of two

It's worth the level of risk for people who might constantly have their stuff taken

I don't think they were planning on abusing that system but you'd have to be an idiot not to see how it could possibly be abused

RE: Amazon creepers

I dont think anyone in here would need expansion upon the idea that Government or media are un trusted

I think once tech companies thought people were okay with constant surveillance, they could get away with anything

That just leaves NGOs

I think constant surveillance of public spaces is fine.

So there's no way a bike lock attack can go unpunished.

I love how they caught that *fuck.*

Thats how a police state starts

--Public spaces.

That's not what the tech firms were spying on though

Yes. I stated my parameters. I think what they encroach on is completely unacceptable.

Daily reminder that whatever you post or upload to facebook becomes their legal property

I remember when facebook would add a new thing that threw your privacy away.

And you were opted into it by default.

And this happened over and over. And this was not RECENT in the least.

But on their new commercial they say they're going to do a better job of protecting your privacy

Random note: I actually got that report from the Guardian of all places

Dont you trust them after they paid for this commercial?

That depends.

Did they use the hopeful piano music?

If so, yes. Sign me the fuck up.

I trust them immediately.

Hell yes they used inspriing piano music

Here. Together.

If it has sad puppies and children on screen with violin music, I know things are serious and I should give them money
