That makes sense if the original statement was that capitalism is the only thing that can ever incentivize abuse. If you assume that abuse can be caused or influenced by more than one thing -- which I believe makes sense but you might disag

It's easy to offend without intending to, so I don't get how your intentions are relevant. Yes it can be annoying and difficult to consider the impact of your words and how they might be perceived by other, different, people. It w

Have you ever had a meeting where sensitive information was shared? Zoom meetings are like those, but with the sharing of sensitive information transmitted over the Internet. Someone could easily record their screen and audio and capture sa

They definitely exist, and can be installed to home screens. It is however a huge hurdle to user acquisition, which is the angle I was referring to. The obscurity of Gab kind of supports that point. All kinds of products and services can ex

Regardless of hosting, Parler seems to be dead in the water given how much of the Internet is accessed via mobile devices, and Parler being banned from all (both) major app stores.

Because users have attendees leaking meetings and asking Zoom if there is any way to identify the leaker. This in turn informs Zoom that the ability to identify leakers is a desired feature for users. This might make the product seem more &

How do you engage with a mob that chants demands for executing democratically elected leaders while storming the capitol? Listen to their demands and try to find a compromise?

"If you're still buying Apple products, then you're simply unforgivable." What does this even mean? Are you unable to forgive me for buying an Apple product? Why exactly should that matter to me?

As with every other attempt to "force people" to do something via UX limitations, I think that's doomed to fail. The whole notion of forcing users to change their behavior by placing obstacles in their way is futile in my exp

This sounds a lot like tribalism. The left-wing people coordinating an attack on the right-wing people to win some battle. Isn't human communication on a global scale slightly more nuanced than that?
