Google does indeed have a spy tool, it's called "Google," and the workers should know because they themselves created it.

It provides me with every single show I want, on demand, in every region. Itâ(TM)s multi-platform, easy to use, and itâ(TM)s free with my paid VPN subscription. I reckon more than a few of you fellow Slashdotters use it too.

The world champion of Fortnite does not need any more publicity. You may not have heard of him, but everyone that kid cares about knows his name.

False. You don't know what you're talking about. They can do the research, they just can't advocate for gun control.

You should be thanking Google Maps. In fact, Google should offer route inflation as a paid service.

Submission + - Is Facebook becomming a scammers haven?

pcjunky writes: Several months ago I clicked on a Facebook ad purporting to sell a robot vacuum cleaner at a fraction of what they normally sell for. The site was complete with detailed photos of the product as well as videos showing it in operation. I also ordered a Light Sabre from another ad with similar detail and video. A month later what came in the mail in no way resembled what the site showed. The robot vacuum was cheap piece of plastic powered by two AA batteries and didn't even have wheels. I reported this cam to Facebook via their reporting option. Nothing changed, I continued to see the ad for at least two more months. I am still seeing very similar ads for other product that purport to sell items (Cubiio Laser engraver for $35) normally selling for several hundred. Obvious scams. Has anyone else encountered these ads? Does Facebook vet advertisers in any way?

Yes, it's hard for most Americans to understand a system where everyone is owed a living and nobody has to work.

Because that money comes from oil revenues, and burning fossil fuels is causing massive global disruption and, in many cases, regional and sectional unemployment.

And not just due to fire hazards. I've actually owned one for a couple of years, and I've had a number of close calls. They are absolutely a hazard to ride on the sidewalks, and American-style bike-unfriendly roads are no place for them either.
