  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

That, and even if you're not considered part of whatever targeted group the current regime hates today, it doesn't mean they won't invent a new targeted group tomorrow that just so happens to include you.

This is before getting into all the false positive "identifications" of "criminal behavior" aimed at demonstrably innocent people e.g. as is already happening with the current Flock camera debacle.

No government has any legitimate reason to surveil its own citizens, and if any such excuse is generated to justify it in the beginning it is guaranteed to devolve into a tool of oppression afterwards. Once you give up rights there is no reality in which any government will voluntarily give them back.

You have social security and credit card numbers, and porn searches you sick fucking perverted freak.

I’m thankfully vanilla as hell. If my porn search history were to be leaked, they’d be like, “that’s it?”

If you have nothing to hide, then how can I trust you?

Found the president's lemmy front man's account! /s But that is how they operate, they don't trust anyone they don't have dirt on. Just like the Borgia pope.

While it might not be immediately apparent how that information will be used against us, it is far more dangerous than we can possibly imagine having this information in the secret data centers of oligarchs, on everyone, down to granular detail, not the least with computers and llm's able to parse the data better all the time.

Ie, social scores to be used secretly against us, micro targeting, and so forth. Information is power and silicon valley and the oligarchs have too much of it. They have to be stopped.

They even know my dick size. Nothing is off limits.

[–] Daxter101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 hours ago

Hmmmmm... I do wonder how they came to be in possession of that information. Not judging, just wondering

You have your body count

You have addresses of people you stalk

You have locations where you have buried your enemies


If anything, this can contribute to the years served. Believe me when I say that 7 years vs 15 is a massive difference!
