     @trixter Except this time it's not just the young folks, it's the investor/gambling class trying to figure out whether or not to jump in or out.

     @WarnerCrocker All this excitement is exactly the same vibes as, what, a week ago? When all the young folks were trying out RedNote?

     @chessert Chris, every time we read of a hack or something like this I laugh. Perhaps I'm too old, but if they haven't gotten every bit of data hey need from us by this point, then they obviously aren't that good at what they do.

     I guess it's a question for the younger set and those yet to come, but at present I can't imagine they actually need anymore.

     So that's worse than that same data being in Musk's/Zuckerberg's hands? I doubt that. I'd rather be screwed over by the Chinese, than by arrogant billionaires who claim to be US citizens.

     I agree with you, Warner. The only way to limit your data feed now, is not to have any (no phone, no online presence at all, cash only transactions).

     But I still enjoy imagining screwing up American big data, as much as possible. These supremely selfish billionaires could be doing incredible things to advance humanity, health, peace, culture....

     But no: nothing but consumption and greed. I'll consider myself fortunate, if I can see them burn.

     I think we should get together in that circumstance: it sounds like a very worthy party, and company. 🙂
