No, fast food and supermarkets primary business model is to sell you food. The privacy violations are just a bonus. Facebooks primary business model is to violate your privacy. The fact that you can talk to your friends is just a bonus.
In other words, the only thing that prevents you from hating shelf stockers at your grocery store is the assumption their employer doesn't sell data? I have bad news for you, unless you really enjoy hating workers.
Are they aware of it? The workers I mean. Does their activity of stocking shelves directly contribute to the data selling?
Your argument is kinda of shitty and pathetic.
I mean it's one thing to say be a restaurant worker at a bomb factory, and another to be a designer trying to figure out how each bomb can kill more people.
If you work at Facebook, you know what you are doing.
As much as a Facebook employee fixing a bug with scrolling. So evil. Worthy of a good five minute hate.
I find the compassionate restorative justice leftists here to be kinda of shitty and pathetic.
No not as much. Most stockers would have no idea.
I would like compassionate restorative justice, but it's hard when you just pick random shit like this to argue about.
A stocker doesn't know, not all grocery stores are harvesting data and they have no control.
A Facebook employee fixing a bug is building a better bomb and they know it.
Don't be dense.
You notice how many interesting loopholes you're leaving?
Just the ones that employ the vast majority of cashiers. I don't think minimum wage earners should be damned by the left.
Or for knowing too much. Most people use AI and don't like it. Guess we have to damn them too for their consciences.
Don't be so horny for retribution.
