Big tech was also government's fault. And I can only assume they continue to allow big tech corporations to continue collecting personal data to circumvent the Bil of Rights.

2018-09-23 20:44:20 UTC  

Illegal for who? The company?

2018-09-23 20:44:23 UTC  

should prevent both parties from engaging in it

2018-09-23 20:44:31 UTC  

@Zayan Watchel No, the practice as a whole

2018-09-23 20:44:37 UTC  

If a corporation asks the government for something, the government should say no.

2018-09-23 20:44:42 UTC  

yes

2018-09-23 20:44:56 UTC  

yeah, we should make the government getting involved in supporting companies illegal

2018-09-23 20:44:57 UTC  

The government should not help big tech collect data

2018-09-23 20:45:04 UTC  

and big tech should not collect it

2018-09-23 20:45:07 UTC  

is what I am getting at

2018-09-23 20:45:30 UTC  

So are we not looking at companies as people?

2018-09-23 20:45:30 UTC  

Big tech can collect all they want if that's what is outlined in the ToS.

2018-09-23 20:45:41 UTC  

Of course they can

2018-09-23 20:45:42 UTC  

Companies are groups of people...

2018-09-23 20:45:45 UTC  

^

2018-09-23 20:46:03 UTC  

I'm pretty sure ToS aren't legally binding.

2018-09-23 20:46:03 UTC  

What was Facebook designed for exactly?

2018-09-23 20:46:15 UTC  

But that shouldn't be a thing, and we're reaching the point where it's completely unavoidable @Zayan Watchel

2018-09-23 20:46:21 UTC  

Terms of Service. If they weren't a binding contract why would they exist?

2018-09-23 20:46:26 UTC  

ToS are semi legally binding

2018-09-23 20:46:29 UTC  

@JogaFlame Networking for college kids.

2018-09-23 20:46:45 UTC  

Services like twitter should be seen as public forums

2018-09-23 20:46:47 UTC  

they are legally binding as far as is legally possible for them to be

2018-09-23 20:47:20 UTC  

If it says, "WE WILL COLLECT YOUR DATA", then you agreed to it, knowingly or not.

2018-09-23 20:47:24 UTC  

and shouldn't have taken with lolbert, hands-off approach

2018-09-23 20:47:29 UTC  

a ToS that forces you tell sell an organ would not hold up in court

2018-09-23 20:47:35 UTC  

It should.

2018-09-23 20:47:43 UTC  

Hah

2018-09-23 20:47:48 UTC  

You should be careful as to what contracts you sign.

2018-09-23 20:47:54 UTC

2018-09-23 20:47:58 UTC  

"This contact says I can kill you if I want to."

2018-09-23 20:47:59 UTC  

@Zayan Watchel Yes, and? What is your point?

You seem to be explaining to me why it's legal, and I'm telling you that I know it is and shouldn't be

2018-09-23 20:48:03 UTC  

Yes.

2018-09-23 20:48:03 UTC  

If you don't agree with what the Contract says,

2018-09-23 20:48:06 UTC  

which is why you keep restating it

2018-09-23 20:48:09 UTC  

don't sign up for the service.

2018-09-23 20:48:18 UTC  

Yeah.

2018-09-23 20:48:36 UTC  

It should be made to serve the economy.

2018-09-23 20:48:36 UTC  

@JogaFlame You won't be able to use many services with that mindset, we're getting to the point where you can't avoid that

2018-09-23 20:48:37 UTC  

Just read your goddamn contract.

2018-09-23 20:48:39 UTC  

which is why
