Wishing To Live In A Slightly Better World

Kaja
Again you are Insulting because you claim things about me which are completely untrue and for your statement you have zero proof.
You are obviously lacking sophistication, show a blatant lack of basic decency when it comes to discuss a topic with people who are of opposing opinion to a point where you always attack people on a personal level rather than engage with the actual argument.
I tried to offer you a well meant advise you could have benefited from and instead of considering it, and tried to learn something, you flatly rejected everything.
Now I am really tired of your constant personal attacks on me and your insults and hereby ask @Ines to take a decisive action against your behaviour. Obviously editing your posts does not work as a warning so more is needed from the Admin.

Ines Well, @curious , I understood her words as a criticism towards the situation, not as an attack (in this case).

Well, stating that I am against any form of freedom is obviously an attack against my person and not a contribution to the discussion I have with @Angelina. She did not engage in any argument but simply attacked me out of context and actually trying to isolate me and destroy any form of meaningful discussion by implying that "does not make sense to talk to me because I am anyhow against every form of freedom" - which of course is not true.

curious Im tired by you. All the time the same. Sorry.

For me it has not purpose discuss with you. It has no consequence.

You all the time say only that you are insulted. Boring.

curious

yes, so sorry, that's the same thing many on the left tell me and they keep forgetting the power of the media. i can destroy a company in 3 twitter posts today, so every company will be careful and try to do the best for the customer. Public relations has become too important in modern times for companies.
maybe the left is right and i live in a neoliberal world of make-believe, but i still have the idea that companies work for the people because they ensure the companies' profits and not against the people.

@Kaja before you say something against @curious, that's anti-liberal

Angelina i still have the idea that companies work for the people because they ensure the companies' profits and not against the people.

For small and maybe even mid sized companies there is some truth to that. But for the big globally acting corporations, rules are different. If even the diesel scandal was unable to destroy VW, the idea that a few negative twitter posts could is an illusion. Look at how VW took advantage of German buyers who unfortunate did not have the legal tool of class action available to them compared to US customers.
VW was scared of a trial in the US courts where a punitive damage based on the proven intend to cheat would most likely have been in the billion dollar range. So VW settled the case, taking back all affected cars from US customers or paying for the reduced value.
German customers got nothing comparable, because German law does not know class action and VW was not afraid of individual legal cases from Germany, where no punitive damages loomed and even if losing, VW would have to pay a few thousand Euros Max for the I dividual car's reduced value.
If there are now regulations to reign in internationally operating corporations, we the people wil, always be disadvantaged. These corporations can shift around money from one country to another with legal tricks and evade not only taxation but also accountability for what they do to a large extend.
I am all in favour for a free market, but it will only stay free and fair if seller and buyer are at least roughly facing each other on equal terms.

Want another example? Terms and Conditions of big companies are many pages long, written by in-house lawyers to make sure there is as little legal accountability for the company as possible. Have you actually spend an hour or two reading through all that stuff before you bought your last car or signed up for your mobile phone contract?
Of course not, no sane person has the time and frequently neither the legal knowledge to comprehend everything written there. But by not doing that, you are already at a huge disadvantage. A little less so in Germany where the law states that 'surprising clauses in T&C are not legal, but if that law did not exist, good night to your rights as customer.

I think it is very draconian, I think China is doing something similar.

They require 3d face recognition data stored to telecom companies to open a phone line, and all social media like WeChat being linked to that. Cameras on streets recognize people's faces all the time and in some regions these system being used to oppress certain group of people.

And in an era when identity theft and phishing cause more and more damages, I would rather advocate to restrict collecting personally identifiable information to sectors that are required to do such things for tax purposes such as banks, stock exchanges, employment, insurance, etc and government services like online accounts for tax agency. If people know when and where that collecting such information are allowed, they will less likely to fall for Apple ID scam emails.

No offense, but your idea kind of reminds me of China at best and North Korean style to be fair. Chinese social credit score system basically dictating what is "right" way of life designed by CCP already freaks me out.

Angelina as a libertarian i reject such things on principle

I think there are some things that we can agree on, I also reject these kind of principles.

In my opinion the problem of "nanny state" is based on refusal, or frustration with difficulties of today's parents to take responsibility as parents and want to throw their burden to the state.
