"A privacy breach on a scale never before seen": Google's "sentence" for its antitrust conviction is to share all the data it gathered on users with every company that wants it (pluralistic.net)

Cory Doctorow is rightfully enraged:

This is all downside. If Google complies with the order, it will constitute a privacy breach on a scale never before seen. If they don't comply with the order, it will starve competitors of the one tiny drop of hope that Judge Mehta squeezed out of his pen. It's a catastrophe. An utter, total catastrophe. It has zero redeeming qualities. Hope you like enshittification, folks, because Judge Mehta just handed Google an eternal licence to enshittify the entire fucking internet.

My problem is I don't have kids so it wouldn't actually help me at all.

And there are less people having kids proportionally every year.

A child tax credit doesn't give safety to Americans so much as it bribes/tricks poor people to have children without thinking of what happens after.

I was giving an example of objectively good legislation with immediate impact that Democrats dropped the ball on. Sure that specific piece of legislation won't help everyone but it did help a lot of people while the expanded child tax credit was active.

Cool, how does that get votes from the families without kids?

We're talking about winning elections

Can we not with the whataboutism. I'm not a campaign advisor, and I'm sure you're not either. We're just two randos on the internet having a moment of "wow the Dems really dropped the ball there" it is neither of our responsibility to write a detailed hypothetical legislative schedule for a past presidential administration. I do not understand why you feel the need to demand that I specifically feed you policy ideas for a past United fucking States presidential administration

The peanuts they throw us that are meant to trick poor people into having kids they later won't be able to afford is a disgusting trick that a lot of governments are trying right now.

If you researched these policies, you would understand that.

Wanting a candidate to benefit me instead of half assed attempts to get people to breed is a legitimate criticism.
