     @markhurst @pluralistic It's been countless years since Instagram decided it was going to ignore user preferences and reset to the "For You" feed every time you reloaded the app… that should have been a bit of a tip off to everyone…

     @deivudesu @markhurst @pluralistic The first time a person or company demonstrates an active contempt for consent or for the absence thereof should be the last time they're ever trusted with anything.
