It is data-driven scalping and it WILL devalue your wealth, because this way they can undermine price elasticity.

Oh no, what happened? Oh no how terrible... anyways.

Banning social media will do more educating teenagers in networking and IT than entire school system. They will soon know how to configure VPN, what are common ways to shape network traffic, and what are typical network intercepting proxies are and how to avoid them.

What did you think going to happen when you put under home arrest but leave them with free access to social media for 2 years the entire generation of teenagers?

Yup. It's pretty hard to do the right thing when the oil cartel that has invaded Alberta keeps threatening to shit itself and is actively trying to engineer a separatist movement entirely for its own benefit. Here's hoping Carney eventually finds a way to disembowel them.

The last game Sweeney did the artwork for was ZZT. As much as I love playing around with AI art generation for fun, he's really not an expert on this.

I have a friend living in London, I have seen his charging bills, and petrol would have been cheaper.

This is dishonest and misleading account of that story. Graham Linehan was arrested for twitting the following joke:

Are you trying to equate removal of sexual organs to a nose job? Are you serious?

Probably 1 or 2? These are extremely rare and these people deserve all the help they want. However, this is not what happening here.

Since we are discussing kids here, are you suggesting pedophilia is desirable and appropriate?

I am opposed to children abuse on moral grounds, clearly something you do not share with me.

This is hilarious and very unsurprising.

Only because /. is US-based and 1A has British thought police right at "fuck off".
