I was about to launch into a rant.. its some 15 years of near constant febrile rage..
Then I stopped myself.

These guys need to held criminally liable - Google, Pentland, Thiel, Facebook, Microsoft, Palantir, Musk, all the small creepy little ai cos/data miners out there.

I am going to work on making that a reality irl. That should be a grim lesson on how ubiquitous sleaziness does not pay. We need a drastically different legal landscape.

After Trump 2.0, the effects of these tech cos is palpable.
