Right. Also, my wife and I have a little game of sharing about public restrooms that we encounter. Generally, the men's rooms are far more trashed than the women's rooms. But how many establishments have surveillance cameras in their men's rooms? Not many, I suspect.
Mostly, I'd think that they'd want to nail the guys who break toilets and urinals. I mean, how to they do that? Those things are solid porcelain, no? Hammers? But maybe they're more fragile than they used to be.
I like the idea. It is something that we may buy at my job, but it being "cloud based" is a deal breaker for us, any plan for some self hosted version?
I am more concerned about the US government because I am an US citizen and I believe the US government does not align with me politically. So I would rather give my data to the Russians.
Could you elaborate a bit more? I'm not sure what do you mean by no response (response to what?). I wanted to start the discussion but don't have enough context to say anything.
I have been thinking about this for a long time, it happens now on FB and whatsapp but happened earlier on email.
It's like a chain of trust where everyone trusts the last person who shared something but you never know on who you are trusting at the start of this "chain" if you share. So people share a lot of BS :/
To be fair, that's also how a lot of news gets reported in the actual media too. One forum or social media user says something interesting which then gets picked up by a bunch of smaller blogs which then in turn attract attention from well known news outlets.
It's how literal 'fake news' has gotten into the mass media. Because a bunch of smaller sites fell for a fake news site quoting a (non existent) interview from anther site, and then the likes of the Metro and Daily Mail assumed they knew what they were talking about.
And that's not even getting into industries where copy and pasting stories is seen as a 'default'. The gaming press is very easy to 'compromise' with photoshopped pictures and fake information, since everyone basically just takes their news from everyone else.
So yeah, not a social media or average Joe exclusive issue here. But one which affects the media itself.
OTOH maybe less BS than what they otherwise would?
I know that myself, I have an implicit categorization in my head about which of my FB friends knows about what, and which friends are just prone to share random clickbait. I approach the news I see accordingly.
