I guess the question is how do they determine location? If it simply by where you say you are then the software would depend on people accurately entering their location? Geo staged photos? Not hard to fake. I do not know how you extract location data from Facebook. Maybe Facebook sells the data to the software provider so they get accurate data based on FB ability to ID locations? I know sone services use IP addresses which my VPN easily confuses.
Based of what Facebook periodically asks me (I have not provided them a location) Facebook themselves make content based guesses on your "where you live" location, even though they obviously have your IP address.
Someone else can use public Facebook data and do the same thing. Will the guesses be perfect? No. Will they be good enough for squishy data aggregation, probably.
We're all the same, Milgram proved that. Given similar circumstances you or I would behave the same way, so let's stop perpetuating the stereotypes.
Erm, no, we're not. There are George Washingtons, for example.
That trope is a nice way of not having to make choices, and also of course excusing one's own transgressions, though.
Why not simply let the user choose what they want ? Personally, I don't really care what they look like, but once I'm used to a set of icons, I would prefer to keep it.
Because
What do you want? It's not like these are computers and you can configure them or anything!
Pretty much this. "We fucked up and embarassed ourselves, so we're going to take it out on you because we can". That's what it reads like. Was the guy who owned the car black, too?
So you are saying that California is a racist police state?
Whoops, wrong article.
Same snarky question re DC though

My 15 year old me is kicking me for saying this, but learning how to integrate into society, listening to other people's thoughts, and learning how to agree and disagree without going all Fox News screamy-shouty goes a long way.
I agree. You should have your child(ren) listen to Rush instead.
Give it a try. He's actually much more respectful of callers who disagree with him, than most people who say "Fox News" a lot are of those who disagree with them.

Oh dear. Perhaps also teach them not to project all bad things onto their political opponents?
And perhaps if people with deadly diseases can't reasonably be expected to do the right thing on their own, maybe the government should step in and force them to stop infecting healthy humans.
Good luck with that. We can't even stop ourselves from deliberately importing Ebola patients.
Bernie Sanders is what was once called 'Liberal'
It is still what Liberal means in Europe. but it has been scandalized as "Socialism" in the USA by the gop
Libertarian has been hijacked as some small government laissez faire concept which allows for complete control by the wealthy be convincing the masses that there is no benefit to cooperative efforts like Unions to support their common causes
Yeah, that's the problem.
Sure, the Left got everything it wanted, but since everything still sucks, that must mean that we didn't "stimulate" enough.
And somehow, some way, it must be those wascally wepubwicans fault. Because reasons.

Hey, be nice to Hillary
