It's called looking at their results. If an employee is getting their work done in a satisfactory amount of time, then what's the problem? If one of my employees takes an extra half hour at lunch every day but produces great results, I'm not going to get on their case. Happy employees tend to produce better results.

Facebook won't pull out of Europe and everyone knows it. Although frankly if they did it would be a huge win for humanity.

Step 1: team up with the Internet Archive
Step 2: make it so every time cloudflare goes down, traffic quietly reroutes to the most recent snapshot at the Internet Archive
Step 3: save face

This was exceedingly common for the bulk of human history. Why are we now acting like its some shameful thing? Yeah you don't get quite as much privacy as you would living on your own, but you gain a lot in financial benefit.

I go out into the real world and do stuff to meet people. You'd be surprised how much deeper your social interaction is in person instead of online.

Facebook is designed in such a way that after using it for a while, it feels like there is a gun to your head keeping you there, in the form of FOMO.

If you're only goal in life is to have sex, I feel sorry for you. If you absolutely require facebook for that, then I feel extra sorry for you, and you probably have a lot of terrible personality traits.

Sure, and then watch as people who intend to commit violent acts ignore the gun zoning.

Or, we could address the reasons people resort to violence.... lack of education funding, lack of mental healthcare, drug addiction, lack of social safety nets...

They pay legislatures to write tax code that allows them to pretend their profits are 1% of what they actually are.

Oh you're too funny, pretending FOIA request's are not routinely ignored!

This is true, however, what happens when the entire police department pretends what happened was just an unfortunate medical incident, and no one was around to see otherwise? Part of the problem is, from what I understand, footage that would be the only evidence strong enough to bring up charges against an officer are kept in the police department unless charges are actually brought up. So unless there is external footage from a civilian, there's no way to really press charges against a police office, making the body cameras useless for prosecuting them.
