If that company that has tagged you as gay sells the data that most often includes location, maybe even your face, to an anti-gay hate group that could end quite badly. It's the same impluse that drove the red scare and the citizen made lists of " suspected communists" and they were blacklisted from their communities, harrassed or evenharmed or killed.
What exactly do you think the anti gay hate groups are going to do?
Um, Charlottesville?
Regular lynchings from the 1800s?
I don't really understand the question.
You think that gay people will be lynched because they have Facebook downloaded on their phone.
If that helps you not to think about anything being said, sure.
Out of curiosity, what do you think a hate group does with information on their particular bogeyman?
You think they get it from gay people having Facebook on their phone
I know, I know, it's so ridiculous. I can't believe these are my actual beliefs without any nuance whatsoever.
Yeah, it is a little silly
