      It's actually a terrible explanation. As someone who's always been loudly worried about the US infrastructure, it's just so frustrating to see journalists fail to understand what's actually going on in different countries and what the real differences are and why they matter.

          Mostly agree. However, once information is digital, and it's forever saved somewhere, and could be used by bad actors and some point in the future. Never had we thought the USA would look like it does now. While we remain safe, it is a reminder how quickly things can turn.

          Speaking of privacy in healthcare. HIPAA is a disaster that was meant to increase efficiency but had the opposite effect. Privacy laws do more to 'report' break-ins than to stop them, resulting in increase costs, but little benefit to consumers.

          I love the Russia angle here. The company behind FaceApp literally makes software for the FSB and the GRU. They openly admit it on their website. It is in no way morally equivalent to Facebook.

          Here’s how I understand it. Every platform has its very own insidious effect on speech and privacy. We’re used to dealing with harmful ideas, not with opaque digital design.

          Can you provide a link to anything you feel does a good job explaining the difference? Honest request for info.

          And it's harmful to conflate the two, and worse, ascribe racism to the people pointing out the differences, because that's exactly how we will converge on the worst-case scenario. If nothing matters and it's all the same, why bother doing anything? Wrong and harmful messaging.
