Do you advocate unlimited power for Google, Facebook, and Twitter?

Yes, as I do for any entity that should not be regulated by the government.

Do you advocate that Jim should have unlimited power over FR? (hint, the answer is yes).

I can imagine ransomware that would shutdown the entire fleet of autonomous vehicles in the entire nation.

I figure that all the autonomous vehicles would talk to each other on the road while moving to increase safety.

This means that the cars would be able to infect each other like a virus spreading.

If the virus goes undetected it eventually infects every autonomous vehicles in the nation.

RE: “Do you advocate unlimited power for Google, Facebook, and Twitter?

Red-herring strawman argument.
FR is not a multi-Billion dollar global social media monopoly.
FR influences several hundred thousand viewers at most.
Google on the other hand CONTROLS THE MAJORITY OF SEARCH ENGINE DATA BASED ON ITS POPULARITY RANKING ALGORITHMS WHICH AS MOST CONSERVATIVES HAVE FOUND, EFFECTIVELY CENSORS POITICALLY INCONVENIENCE FACTS.

Tex, it’s nice to be a free market do-or-die guy based on ideological principle.
However, rationally principles only matter if everyone operates in a principled manner.
Google and Facebook do not.
They have bought and paid for political influence that ensures making conservative constitutional civics, extinct.

If you can’t see that your absolute devotion to your laissez-faire orthodoxy is being taken advantage by cultural adversaries, then you are part of the problem, too.

Final example about private company “rights” being on equal footing of fellow citizen rights.
Go to thedatamap.org and look at how you and your family’s confidential personal health record information is shared among 8000+ healthcare entities by hundreds of private data brokers that you cannot opt out with.
HIPAA does NOT ensure that all of your data is properly anonymized to protect your medical record privacy.
No laws in the USA address this.
‘Cuz private companies have bribed our legislators with tens of millions of dollars of lobbist money in order to protect the THREE BILLION DOLLAR MEDICAL RECORD DATA SHARING MARKET.

Incorporation is a privilege that requires shared sense of civic social responsibility and ethical operations to respect fellow citizen’s constitutional rights and mutual well being.

When I said “teens” I meant teens. We just had a group of all white teens drop rocks from an overpass and kill someone. I think it was in Michigan. I wasn’t thinking in any specific racial context.

My point was that whoever interacted with the chatbot trained it to be racist. Just for goofs.
