  • Google hit with $314m fine for collecting data from idle Android phones without permission

    Jump

  • These fines worked in 1957.

    They don't work today.

    Its not an overreach to increase fines to a relative point commiserate with current earnings, so that they can actually harm a company and by doing so discourage future illicit behavior.

    To try and claim otherwise is some corpo rat bullshit.

    These fines come on the heels of willful behavior, that they believe they can make money off of even accounting for the fines.. Which turns the fine into nothing more than a tax. With higher fines, that can destroy their profits and damage their company, they won't be so eager to pencil evil into the expense line.

  • Google made 100 billion last year.

    300 million is barely a blip.

    The fine should have been 30 billion.

    if the fines arent big enough to seriously hurt a company, Then the fines are not big enough to change their behavior.

    They just become a tax on evil.

  • Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans

    Jump

  • I'm sorry, you don't deserve that.

    If you have the mental energy/space, there are usually state therapists boards of some kind that you can call and report that behavior too... Too few people do that, though (and I'm including myself on that list), because a lot of people who seek out therapists are in a bad, vulnerable state and just don't have the mental space to go through with reporting these assholes like they deserved.

  • Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans

    Jump

  • Yeah.

    and there needs to be more oversight and punishment for objectively bad therapists. and I dont mean bad as in their program didnt work for you, i mean bad, like ones that spend an entire session fellating themselves over how awesome they are, or tell you that they arent here to listen to you bitch and moan about your problems (someone I knew had a therapist say that to them) or whatever other objectively awful things bad therapists too.

    and there needs to be more education about therapy, and how there are many different styles and approaches.. and not all work for everyone, The system should incentivize people being able to tell their therapist they appreciate their time, but it doesnt feel like their approach is working, and get refered to a different one with a different approach without drama, extra cost, extra paperwork, or headache.

  • Therapy is just littered with bad therapists, that do more harm than good and give the practice a bad name.

    For every 1 good therapist, there are probably 10+ bad ones.

    It can be a fucking ordeal to navigate, financially and emotionally, to try and find the one good one.

    My worst experience was a therapist which charged me 300 dollars a session to do nothing but talk about how amazing they were, and that I need to just suck it up and be amazing like they are, afterall, it was so easy for them.

    How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?

    Jump

  • I don't use social media at all.

    As far as Reddit/Lemmy, I only use Lemmy.

    I did have a reddit account at one point but it only had a handful of posts, mostly gratitude for solutions to problems I was searching about, with reddit being the top return with the correct answer... Got banned for some reason though, so even if I had interest in using reddit (which I dont),I cant anymore, lol.

    Trump is obsessed with Nobel prizes, because Obama got one.. and Trump is a small, tiny, jealous, insecure little man with an YUGE inferiority complex.

    Does Texas not care about protecting their people? The country?

    Or.. was it all absolute fucking bullshit designed to funnel a few million dollars to one of Abbotts cohorts?
