They are more ashamed of their bodies. Influenced by amerikkkan puritanical culture.

Another stunning contribution to humanity by the bloodsucking empire.

    Privacy isn't necessarily violated exclusively by the state, and can be protected in some instances by state involvement. This can be seen in something like the "right to be forgotten" in the EU, where the EU has gone out of their way to ensure that private digital information that social media companies hold can be scrubbed at the request of a person.

    In the United States, such an approach is unlikely since the state has a large interest in leveraging surveillance through social media.

      That is true. I should have clarified that I was thinking specifically of the US government and their lust for surveillance (and eagerness to collaborate with corporations on this front.)

        So, perhaps apologize for being a little too vicious with the person wanting a more EU-like internet?

          The initial argument here was:

          Imagine if the internet was dominated by common sense law and censorship like in China.

          So while the next comment does mention the EU, I can perhaps be forgiven for thinking this was a call to place more sweeping censorship tools in the hands of the US government, and not only to implement very specific EU policies.

            Fair.

            I want to tell you about my mom. I cried yesterday after she yelled at me. She then started praying over me, and rebuked various demons and evil spirits. She prayed for over an hour. She prayed to ward away all moon demons, evil desert foxes, evil dragons, ancient ancestral curses, and other things. Lots of other things. She went through a huge list of all evil spirits to ward off. She went through rebuking the evil spirits in various parts of my body. She warded off the demons in my hands. She exorcised the demons in my legs. She told the demons in my blood to leave in the name of Jesus. She told the demons in my cat to leave in the name of Jesus. And moon demons.

            I told you this to remind you to drink water, since she has made sure there are no more demons there either.
