I mean I guess yeah technically since Elon Musk and Jeff bezos are lizard people but I think they're native lizard people rather than the usual batch of aliens we get.

Literally there's about 3 or 400 people who are going to destroy the entire planet except for a small section of it that they will be allowed to live on protected by automatic killbots and periodic Mass cullings.

And your Boomer uncle is all in favor of it as long as he doesn't have to look at trans people or let them drink his beer.

What a stupid comment, I think you have set some kind of a record.

Usage of Flock cameras is almost certainly a violation of the 4th amendment.

But the violation of the constitution is just the beginning of the problems with Flock. The abuse of the data by cops and the lax security by Flock should be concerning to all citizens.

Handing it off to a private company seems to be their constitutional workaround.
Present administration like workarounds.

Social media is addictive, and part of growing up to be an adult is to learn how to avoid addictions. Either the addictive power of social media is so strong even adults of sound mind cannot resist (e.g., heroin) or its a skill everyone must learn. How are children supposed to learn it if they are coddled by laws that outright ban it? At the same time banning drugs to protect kids is one thing, but banning speech? That is very novel and new territory. I read the Anxious Generation, and it is very compelling, but I also have kids, and you cannot raise kids that grow up to be healthy adults by relying on nameless government agencies to create a reality distortion field, that actually sets them up for failure. Just like with avoiding ice cream, not getting enough exercise, or watching too much Netflix (also disastrous for health but not being banned...) getting sucked into a social media self-validation loop needs to be taught, not banned.

I grew up before social media existed, yet find myself very capable of resisting it.
