This a huge step back for transparency with Meta (shocker). Access to this data is important for a variety of reasons, and using the recent EU laws as an excuse is deplorable (again, shocker from Meta).
It’s clear the data companies were left alone for too long to rule the schoolyard. It’s going to take some time to treat them and others what decorum looks like without throwing an absolute hissy fit.
Here’s hoping the EU, which seems to be the only teacher on the playground willing to discipline anyone, will set them straight.
They are among the top five richest corporations in the world and the leading employer in the world, last I checked. You going to dissolve that power? No? They have money and power, they will make the rules. You have to either find a way to dissolve them (good luck with that!), or you have to have another big power structure to keep them in check. That’s how it works.
You’re misinterpreting what I said. Why would I think the government and corporations aren’t in cahoots at least a little? But if it were that black-and-white, we’d have no regulations, recalls, lawsuits, or OSHA. This is getting off-topic though.
Either way, your attitude is stupid and I’m blocking you.

Tear the government down, start from scratch.
As a bonus; we also solve the problem with having police.
How do you prevent it from turning into a “might makes right” system ?
I can’t wait to become the United States of Walmart. Thanks for that.
Walmart can’t do shit without the cops.
I thought we were starting over. What makes you think there won’t be cops?
It’s cute how people think scrapping the constitution and starting over will somehow make things better.
Why do you think there will still be wal-mart?
And why do you think the constitution binds anyone who matters? You’re treating it like a fucking magic spell.

This power structure is based on faith and agreement. Its more fragile and fractious than you think.
And what the fuck are you smoking if you think the government is opposed to corps? Can I have some?

Imagine thinking the owning class wouldn’t be the ones creating the new constitution…
Something needs to change, but once we open that can of worms were going to see things like:
“All citizens are required to give all personal data to meta whether using the platform or otherwise.”
“Oil will be enshrined as the National Energy Source™”
“Union activity is an act of economic terrorism.”
