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

What the fuck? Do people not understand the concept of privacy? Have you ever read one of those cookie agreements? This is exactly the same!

If you pay via card or app or account they have your name and identity. We KNOW they use or sell that information from countless examples. That information is bought and aggregated by other companies, and the NSA owns or backdoors those companies, or the cops or ICE can buy that information without a warrant.

App/account - yes. Card - no.

I realise USA is quickly descending into totalitarianism but what you are presenting is a tinfoil hat level of madness.

In what reality do you live in lol? This isn't a conspiracy theory, this is literally the business model of "data collection companies". European privacy laws and the cookie disclaimer BS just showed us what is already happening.

If you don't think all this data isn't being collated and used then you don't understand the nature of neoliberal capitalism and politics. Mock me all you want, but it seems they've already won when basic privacy is now a fringe idea.
