Nah you’re 100% in the wrong here, and it’s wild that you bring up respect, as if this attitude and behavior isn’t incredibly disrespectful. Calling someone is literally not disrespectful. What the fuck is wrong with people

But saying that a country can’t do anything about espionage unless they pass that law is unrealistic.
Who said that?

No I’m not conflating anything, you’re just moving the goalpost…
People can still do murder even though its illegal and most murders go unsolved, so we shouldn’t have laws making murder illegal

I would expect a meaningful data privacy law would involve forcing the client software to be audited to ensure they aren’t collecting the information in the first place?

They are while doing business in the USA
- Comment on I'm OOTL: Why is TikTok being banned? 2 months ago:
They all suck, yeah. I think banning individual social media services is not the solution. The solution is to create meaningful laws that hold any company, Chinese or American, accountable for data privacy and misinformation/influence violations.

I think he is wrong because being informed and aware of what has happened in the world does not equate to “mentally masturbating to disaster porn”. We do have a real problem with sensationalized media, but the solution is not to just be uninformed…
I sometimes hear similar logic as an argument against things like funding science research: “Why spend money and time on a deep space observatory? We can never get to those places in space anyway”
- Comment on 2025 trailer be wild 2 months ago:
It didn’t happen to me personally, so it’s fine! Stop paying attention!!

- Comment on 84% of H-1B Visas Go to India and China: Is It a Scam in Disguise? 2 months ago:
I mean… they are more than 35% of the world’s population. And in order to grant visas, people must seek them. With cultural and socioeconomic factors, there is no reason to expect population from all countries to seek and be granted visas equally?
I wonder what the distribution looks like for the equivalent visas in europe and other countries besides the USA.
