A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

  1. They want to keep you in their walled garden.
  2. They will show you what can make them the most money as possible.
  3. You are the product. What data can they extract from you as they are making money from you.

Corporations only care about what will drive their share price higher.

yes, social media keeps proving why a profit-driven society really doesn't have the interests of individuals in mind, companies will just do whatever they can get away with to extract as much money as possible from ordinary people.
