The problem is that people point to the problems of the USSR and say it's because of communism, but when the USA does similar things, it's just them fucking up, not because they're capitalist. It's a double standard hinted at by OP.

The problem with the USSR was not that they were communist. I think that communism worked well for them, which magnified both their successes (beating nazis, reducing poverty, increasing literacy, getting to space, etc), but also magnified their mistakes (suppressing religion, art, etc).

And the court found it plausible that genocide is happening, which is what is needed for the process to continue.

This comment got to me really late, probably to Lemmy's distributed nature.

But I still want to add: of course business will make more money if you allow more practices, but selling personal data just has too many negative consequences.

Also low quality advertising? You mean like billboards and in the newspaper? You mean regular advertising?

No, just ban the collection of user data and selling to 3rd parties. Enormous fines for anyone still doing it. Destroy this entire industry please.
