    This + it's more profitable for billionaires to create police state instead of helping the society. Just look who owns the media and thus who creates the narrative. Who doesn't want men to have time to think about their mental health (in a healthy way, not in a way of blaming minorities and women) by driving their attention to other things presented in the media.

    I'd rather consider adding social welfare, money for education, labor rights etc. instead of drones. But I'm not a billionaire so I can only write stupid things on the internet.

    Just an anecdote - two last jobs (decent jobs) I found without LI account at all. Everybody's been telling me it's impossible, but turned out it's not.

    So maybe just concentrate on penalizing to death big tech for such dark patterns instead of requiring society to provide big tech with personal IDs?

    My 5 cents: I just think there shouldn't be any cheap flights like Ryanair. With or without app. It should be banned. It just destroys our planet and lives of people living in poor countries.

    It's much better not to leak our society's data to data brokers via shady apps, so enabling consumers not to have to use the app is a net positive for a whole society. It's much more important than comfort of an individual and I'm happy politicians see it.

    Tildes with curated list of blogs would seem even better. Without corporate media and without Fediverse-based account. I wish they haven't used Fediverse in bubbles.town. [edit] rephrasing

    Exactly, people have to be paid to produce. However, I have a philosophy that I only pay/donate to media which don't use paywalls. I like information to be affordable for every person and this is my way of rewarding media that follow this philosophy. One of them is selling physical magazines, however all the articles on their website are open. And after reading I share it with my inner circle or just leave it in a bus/tram/bench so that anyone can take it.
