Meta’s business model is collecting, using and selling data from users of “free” services. Obviously they didn’t buy WhatsApp for charity.
Meta has been caught lying before. Even if there’s no backdoor right now, the next closed-source update can add one and take all message history. Would you trust Zuck?
I don’t remember a time when the air outside my home in a car-dependent industrial city was fresh. Luckily my current apartment gets centrally filtered and heat-exchanged replacement air.

In Fediverse moderation tools, are there consensus forming mechanisms to ensure that even if 20% of the volunteer moderators are malicious, none of their wrongful moderation suggestions leak through to the stream of final moderation actions? If not, I’d be reluctant to add moderators.
The worst damage to computers was done by U.S. Congress in 1972 when they fired ARPA IPTO that invented the Internet and the foundations of everything we now have in enshittified form. The direction was fantastic until then.

Is there a post about it? I only noticed the destruction of OkCupid as an attack against its liberal-skewed user base:

Owned by Match Group, the same company that destroyed the dating site that matched compatible people too well.

That’s impossible, the keys are not there.
1·3 months agoSecurity is not so good there:
A 2003 publication by the Infectious Diseases Society of America noted that The Andromeda Strain is the “most significant, scientifically accurate, and prototypic of all films of this [killer virus] genre … it accurately details the appearance of a deadly agent, its impact, and the efforts at containing it, and, finally, the work-up on its identification and clarification on why certain persons are immune to it.”
Not cumulative but anyway.
Why do you think those should be separate? That just destroys the network effect. Original OkCupid used to have everything. Amazon has everything. Facebook has all sorts of shit. They don’t split into niches.
benefit humanity as a whole
The Borg from Star Trek fills that requirement. My headcanon is that the people from its home planet made an AGI with the given goal of “benefiting humanity as a whole”, and it maximised that goal by building the Borg - making humanity as a whole by connecting them to a hive mind and forcibly assimilating all other species to benefit humanity as a whole.
