We've only gone out maybe a dozen times and this is about half of what needs to go.

The former Central Intelligence Agency director John Brennan has added his name to growing calls for the president to be ousted on grounds that he is unfit for the job, arguing that the US constitution’s 25th amendment addressing involuntary removal from office was “written with Donald Trump in mind”.

Brennan, who served as head of the spy agency during Barack Obama’s presidency, told MS Now on Saturday that Trump’s recent volatile remarks about destroying Iranian civilization and the danger he posed to so many lives merited his removal from the Oval Office.

“This person is clearly unhinged,” he said. “I think the 25th amendment was written with Donald Trump in mind.”

Brennan added that Trump was too much of a liability to be allowed to continue to be commander in chief. He had immense firepower at his disposal, including the US nuclear arsenal.

So I was reading about Reddit's API controversy from 2023 and fell down a rabbit hole.

Turns out every post, every comment, every opinion you've shared here - reddit licensed it to openai and google. No opt-out. No warning. Just. - done.

And that's just reddit. Meanwhile Google, Meta, and basically every major platform are quietly building a profile on you — your interests, your political leanings, your daily routine, your insecurities. All from things you said or clicked on "anonymously."

The wild part? We already knew this was happening. It's not new. Yet here we all are, still posting.

So I'm genuinely curious — why do you still use reddit (or big tech in general) knowing this?

Is it because:

• The alternatives (Lemmy- kbin- etc..) just aren't there yet?
• You've accepted it as the price of the internet
• You actually don't think it's that big a deal?
• Or you simply never thought about it until now?

Not judging anyone — I'm still here too. Just want to hear honest answers.
