     @Kierkegaanks @Techmeme Yes, sickos like to post it seeking an "outrage reaction" onto any popular website - 4chan is one, although facebook is more popular (not person experience).
     
     Feds get a copy of everything posted to 4chan and regularly arrest such posters.

     @xaetacore @Techmeme @Kierkegaanks The USA is the land of the nonfree - the part about "companies abusing data" is only a minor point.
     
     US companies and the US government spies on the entire world, although they do mainly focus on their own citizens.

     @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @Kierkegaanks@beige.party @Techmeme@techhub.social I would not consider myself free if i lived in the US mainly because there is almost nothing in place to prevent companies from abusing your data
