But again, how is that any different to me, as a Canadian, than an American social media company?

All of that is still true.

All the US companies have kissed the ring and are bowing to facsim.

Western social media still has its own agenda. And it's not human Rights either.

It defaults to master if your account existed before the change I believe.

At least I had to manually change it.

That's... Not actually a reasonse to what was said?

Sure, that's all fine and dandy. But it doesn't change the point that was being made.

The election happened. Here and now, Russia and China tracking me is no different than the US. They're all authoritarian governments hell bent on stripping rights away.

Now I'm not the same person you replied to. I'm in Canada, so I'm weary of all of them. But if I was in the states, I'd RATHER give my data to an advisory that won't do much with it. As apposed to the current government hellbent on making life for me and my trans siblings as hard and difficult as possible.

Foreign ownership is just a thing. You don't need a residence to own anything. Same here in Canada.

From there, you get 6 months visitors visas every year.

Yes, but reading the page tells you they've gotten google to open-source PebbleOS and highly suggests they're either going to maintain the open source version, or otherwise fork the code.

Just admit your not accepting proof.

You took someone's proof, and just stuck your head in the sand without actually addressing anything.

That's what makes this bad faith. It has nothing to do with smarts.

But thata exactly the point. Your not willing to accept any proof. So why should someone bother?

It's bad faith arguing.

I know exactly what proof it'd take to convince me the world is flat. And it's a simple explanation for all current observable effects.

No one has yet.

So asking for proof, AND setting the bar of that I'd accept is part of the burden of proof.

It's also a bad faith question to prove someone's thoughts.

Let me ask you this, what proof would you accept?

Not the person your arguing with.

Let's not blame fellow workers for doing what they need to survive. Big tech companies are exploitive by nature, espcially H1B visas are basically indebted servitude at this point.

This is about class, not left vs right.

Would that make it okay if that wild rant was true?

The devil doesn't need advocates. He's president.

Most platforms proxy media shared.

Then your proposed workaround is still 1 click more than the reported one.
