According to this latest article she partially takes back some of her outrageous demands: https://firstamendmentwatch.org/nikki-haley-walks-back-her-demand-that-social-media-ban-anonymous-posters-after-facing-gop-backlash
"Facing Backlash, Nikki Haley Softens Demand That Social Media Ban Anonymous Posters"
What would you guys recommend for a service to use to verify phone numbers for platforms, on topic, such as gitlab? I know there is some sort of list of voip service providers that most of these platforms blacklist. Where do they get such lists from and how can one view such lists?
Thx for showing me that. I had no idea. Still to me, someone who lives on the other side of the world opposite of America, to see the phrase "I spy... Do you..." From Google felt a lot like, well, my post says it all.
Appreciate you educating me on that.
I assume you’re not in the US and not familiar with that?
No, other side of the world. No, not familiar with that.
Those guys r dicks. I posted a comment in there Lemmy community to share my honest opinion and it was removed. But I don't know why, who did that or even how find out.
I know right. Like wtf.
This just blows my mind and makes me feel sick to my stomach that such company's like CMG Local Solutions do this sort of thing even exist! 🤢🤮
Note: I did not want to use the 'URL' field in this post to add a direct link to this company as they use a pixel tracker (see post title). I don not recommend you visit it. Instead, I'll quote them here:
> It's True. Your Devices Are Listening to You. > With Active Listening, CMG can now use voice data to target your advertising to the EXACT people you are looking for.
> magine This... > What could it do for your business, if you were able to target potential clients or customers who are using terms like this in their day to day conversations:
> The car lease ends in a month- we need a plan. > We need to get serious about planning for retirement. > A mini van would be perfect for us. > This AC is on it's last leg! > Do I see mold on the ceiling? > We need a better mortgage rate.

Here's the best part! 🤥
>We know what you are thinking... > Is this legal? YES- it is totally legal for phones and devices to listen to you. That's because consumers usually give consent when accepting terms and conditions of software updates or app downloads
Is it just me or does the world feel more and more everyday like a dystopian nightmare, a bad joke, satire? Ahhhh!
What's your thoughts on this?
I see some down votes... Lol guessing that's probably from Americans in denial / brainwashed? 🫣😉

It's a well-known fact that Google spies on users, which isn't anything new. However, the fact that they are now using this as a reference in a marketing meme is insulting.
Google is now making jokes at customers expense, using memes for promotional ads on Reddit, and saying that they don't care about you because they know people will still buy their ad-platform spyware products.
Well, I say 🖕Google! Your corporate capitalism greed gets another 🖕! Oh, and before I forget, 🖕too reddit.
Edit: removed mention of a certain country 😘

Thx I'll look into.
Edit: I'm not to familiar yet with Lemmy, so I hope that this thank you comment reach's everyone that replied. Appreciate the knowledge sharing.
I hope you do! Can you pls add a link to this comment chain if or when you do. Id be interested in learning more.
Ohhh! I see. Much obligated. Thx for letting me know.
Much obliged for your clarification. I understand this better now.
Eli5 me pls. The story from the article is based in the land of the free and fake materialism. Does that mean these manufacture cant do that in the rest of the world yet? Or is it exclusively the go to country for testing out ways to further exploit money out of... well, one of the significantly poorest (financial inequality) poputional in the world (cost of living credit debt).
Edit: fixed grammar, some words changed/added/replace. Was sounding rude and only realized that after rereading much later.
But how can you trust anything brave says? Fool me once, shame on you, full me twice, shame on me, try and fool me thrice...nah, the joke is you > bravebrowser..
I thought this place is to get away from imperialist capitalism big tech privacy violators and abusers.
I guess with meta(sh*t) trying to extort their user base for a monthly subscription service fee just for privacy in the eu, paying for a search engine could make sense...
Much obliged, i shall take a look at this kagi.
