I think you think you're clever, but a) understand that your justification ("they're awful for lots of reasons") would have in other times and places been the same justification other people could have used against groups like homosexuals, and b) I rather suspect you fling the term Nazi or fascist around at nearly anyone who disagrees with your politics, which then just makes the term a crutch for you to dismiss and/justify whatever things YOU want to think or say about them. Or do, like "banning them as a political party".

> How does someone get access to his location data?

  You pay $50 to a data broker, AIUI.

Half of the convenience apps you download include tracking libraries. Free apps often make their money by selling your location data to surveillance companies.

Ads are included so you don't think to ask what their revenue stream is.

Stock ROM's don't prevent most of this.

It's interesting to watch old movies and the credits are maybe 30 people.

If you see a modern CG flick there will be thousands of people in the credits including the barista at the coffee shop down the street from where the IT backups subcontractor's office is.

Similar idea with IMDB and basically everybody lying on their resumes otherwise.

Interestingly software had credits pages in the 80's but California prevents noncompete agreements and poaching was rampant so the opposite occurred.

They're reeing about cuts to funding for medical programs in Africa that American taxpayers were funding.

When 25% of Americans can't even afford to get their own medical care.

At least Medicine stopped injecting kids with SV40 promoters from green monkey cells from 1970-2021. Massive cancer cause.

Frothing eco-marxist is angry.

As you suspect, I would in fact prefer to literally pave the roads with the bodies of the children I am going to kill with my CO2 emissions. Ideally, they're not quite dead yet so their chorus of little screams will cheer me along during my commute. Can we throw in some endangered animals as well?
