People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Rule of thumb on the Internet, if you can't see how it's payed for (subscriptions, ads, donations...) then you probably pay with your personal data.

Especially true for apps and games. "Play totally free, no annoying adds or in-app purchases" means "Here is a trojan horse pretending to be a game while farming every possible information from your device to sell to the highest bidder".

Small shout out to Apple here, perhaps, for their little privacy report card. Here is Angry Birds 2:
