I’ve also never seen a committee compliment a witness so much. She was understandably dripping with clout by the end of it, authoritatively talking to senators about what is and isn’t allowed in our system.
I get this from people my age too. It's almost a novelty to see any phone other than a smartphone for some.I was literally the only one I knew in my four years of college that went without a social media presence. It became a distinct characteristic of mine, not using a smartphone and not using social media.
Yeah, I can imagine. I had social media during school, but gradually dropped off it once I left and even then I had a sense of being out of the loop.Also worth noting is that I haven’t had a social media presence associated with my legal identity since the first year of high school, ~ten years ago, and can describe from firsthand experience the profound degree of alienation that comes with opting out of these systems, as someone of my generation.
Yeah, and you are among the minority who could muster the will to actually leave.Yeah, I can imagine. I had social media during school, but gradually dropped off it once I left and even then I had a sense of being out of the loop.
I sometimes get the urge to sign up for Twitter, but I just think "What for? I can browse without an account and with an account I'd just get drawn further into it, hand over more and more data, then probably reach a point where I got fed up and left again,".
Same. Growing up with Xbox got me used to operating socially under a handle.I've always used pseudonyms online except for when I had social media in school.
I suppose so, but I don't know whether it's possible. These companies have a lot of weight to throw around and data's incredibly valuable to them.Would you say that there are others, even most people, that are incapable of willing themselves out of these situations, or shouldn’t be expected to will themselves out of these situations, and that instead a governmental agency should mandate certain policies pertaining to data collection and information circulation?
Do you believe that such things can be accomplished, even imperfectly?
