Security practices won’t improve any time soon because governments work on a budget and generally have a mandate of reducing costs. Any issue which costs to solve is an issue for the next government.

Scapegoating a problem is standard m.o. for this stuff.

Fraud and tax evasion, right?

Maybe they’ll end up renaming it to Qapla’.

They call that the very tiny, insignificant cost of doing business.

To keep independent journalism going. Fight on! ✊

Say the following single line below out loud:

I am the product.

The liars are usually the easiest victims, because no one will believe them even if they tell the truth.

If one side gets cuts, but the other stays unchanged, it’s still favouritism.

The source of the numbers doesn’t matter, only the numbers.

No, they’re listening to market share change.

Lied better. You?

Wow, has that “chinamaxxing” trend arrived even on Lemmy? Look at all the comments praising them here…

Awful working conditions and little to no factory worker rights? Nah, environmentally friendly cars!

Knowingly and intentionally screwing over every country they’ve had any major deal with? Nah, much needed competition.

Spying and collecting data on you? Nah, it’s not as bad as US doing it.

Even tourists are here praising them as if you’re not going there to give them your money and fawning on their tourist attractions. Like what did you expect, to treat you like they treat their minorities?

…

What a fucking joke this bootlicking thread is.

“Forget all about the bad things done on the other sides of the world, I just want my [insert brand name] luxury/comfort.”

Pathetic.

More empty houses for squatters.

You underestimate the power of convenience.

Probably wanna replace them with self driving cars.

Real people are gullible in the sense that it’s way easier to notice trouble when it happens to others than when you’re at the center of it.

The triggers for recognition change alongside perspective so it’s harder to notice something you see as a 3rd person when viewed in 1st person.

Incorrect. There have been plenty of cases where an observer criticizes existing rules and their application due to inherent bias rather than an unfavorable interaction.

People who see wrongdoing and act to stop them without personal gain do exist.

Democracy works on the presumption of virtue.
