These things are signs of surveillance economy which benefit very few.

Democracy is just a political slogan, if so called democracy is there, why political leadership favor billionaires over public.

I'm not anti-AI, but I see the where it is heading

* Mass surveillance which suppress the freedom of speech. ex: Palantir

* Dumbing down people so they cannot think for themselves, so the narrator is in control.

* Dropping bombs on innocent so someone can loot resources.

* Huge environmental degradation due to data centers ex: ground water pollution in Texas, desertification, waste dump due to rare earth metal extraction etc. (Earth is already is in brink of a collapse)

All of the above sacrifices just for the benefit of few rich billionaires not for the community. At this point I do not see the benefits outweight drawbacks, if it is to go on, it should be highly regulated, more than healthcare regulations. And also should be community owned not privatized.

im quite concerned for the dumbing down symptom to take full effect. learn to code has become learn to read rofl

Why would anyone support US companies when they have been hoarding data for decades? things specially concerning at current state of the country.

I try to avoid US companies as well when possible, I just avoid Russian ones even more.

I think bombs they drop on innocents are much more more expensive than $40K. Some think glaciers melting is at point there will be no turning back, record time heat waves and El Niño gives clues about upcoming disasters.

> I know many here would scoff at nationalizing a private company

Really? Do US public think like that, no wonder organization like IMF want to privatize national companies.

Heading towards surveillance economy, paid by our foolishness.

I'm not against consumer protection but these moves seem political, Europe hate China just like Russia, they want to counter China economically.

Otherwise why fine out of the blue when this had been going for years.

And what about western countries violate those laws, lobbied or deliberately turning a blind eye.

Does any of these laws matter to rich, given amount of lobbying going on in US?

He is a monster, supporting to bomb children.
