    Many half-assed ideas will never make a full-assed idea.

    Between this and Wsocial, it is pretty clear that whoever is making IT decisions needs to be let go.

    This is not Doctorow’s enshittification; this is an attempt at domesticating users into thinking it is a normal thing to upload your ID to random cloud servers or hand over your biometric data to use WhatsApp??? This isn’t protecting children. It is giving the social media giants permission to allow ads for things like gambling and line their pockets. If I worked in advertising, I’d be pretty happy.
