    It might interest you to know that the time it takes to learn how to be an effective farmworker is about 3 years. How do we know? Because it was built into slave plantations' financial records. That's how we bloody well know.

    Replying to @amydipa @cesarmvm
    Nobody would. But you could learn in literally a day. Thats why it's unskilled labour. It doesn't take an education or specific skill sets. It takes you bending down a lot.

    This is a really underappreciated point that is getting more important all the time: regulation is needed when a reasonably educated person, even with some dedicated time, cannot reasonably understand the full extent of how they are being exploited.

    Re-upping this piece. "...because it is virtually impossible for people to be adequately informed of data risks and exert control at scale, our rules should make sure companies cannot unreasonably favour their own interests at our expense."

    I think "biggest flaw" in this headline is a bad take. This is why self-driving cars are going to take over. They are SO MUCH SAFER. Cops pull in front, slow down, & the car stops. Without autopilot, it would have crashed and people easily could be dead.

    Protip: It's pretty inevitable that your personal data will get compromised in various database breaches every year or so. Simply change your surname to a new random value each time and you'll be safe.
