"thought crime"? And you have the balls to talk about using words "by their meaning"?

This is a solid action with a product to show for it, not a thought, which happens to impact someone's life negatively without their consent, with potentially devastating consequences for the victim. So, can you please use words by their meaning?

Parents are responsible for their kids. The punishment, with the full force of the law (and maybe something extra for good measure), should fall upon the parents, since they should have made sure their kids knew how despicable and illegal doing this is.

Yeah, I agree, we shouldn't ruin the boys life, we should ruins his whole family to many times the extent something like this ruins a teen girl's life.

And this is the absolute truth. I showed my brother today in haveibeenpawned how his main email (you guessed it, Gmail) is out there in over 150 leaks and hacks. Not 2 hours later he was buying 2 new nest thermostats to replace the ones he has at home because Google is phasing them out (yes, they still work, Google just chose to kill them).

I'm done trying to make people see the light. We'll see what happens when it all blows up (see I didn't say "if").

You can minimize surveillance, but right now it's impossible to avoid it completely. The next best thing is is keeping whatever you can private, and what you can't, try to have it sent to someone irrelevant, like in my case are the Chinese.

I wonder where you're getting this information. BYD alone is second worldwide if you account for the US market, and 1st if you don't.

59% of all EVs sold in January of this year were Chinese.

China can have all the images they want from my car's. I don't live in China or anywhere near them. I'm more concerned about US made EVs and their surveillance because I travel there regularly, and they are digging hard on everything for people coming into the US.

That's halfway true, depending on the part, and where you live. But the warranty they provide (at least in my country) covers everything that you don't damage yourself, and the warranty is transferable if you sell it still being under warranty.

The only expense I've had with mine are new tires and correcting some body scratches caused by other people (and public charging if on long road trips, because I charge at home with solar power).

We have 2 BYD plug-in EVs in our house, absolutely delighted with the brand. Before that I had a Model 3 Tesla, which I could not get rid of fast enough.

Honor where honor is due, Tesla did open the door for mainstreaming EVs, there's no doubt about it, but it was through marketing based on gimmicks, not through quality products. But the reality is that BYD, Xiaomi, Avatr and a few other Chinese manufacturing cars are way better value and even quality than their Occidental counterparts.

Next we'll see all US cops wearing masks in their regular day to day activities, like in the Watchmen series.

If you don't understand the concept of cancel culture, there's not much I can explain, sorry.

Point in case. The moment I mentioned it, the down votes started pouring in.

Humanity has lost the capacity for critical thinking and civil communication.
