I am not a historian, but it looks like you might have gotten this backwards. I am looking at a 2014 calendar, and May 12 is actually after February 27.
The OP's post appears to actually be the one that was plagiarized.
Actually the content is quite common copied by more projects as FAQ. I have found more examples but the OPs one was posted before I agree and I already found some traces of same content in the thread listed in the post. Someone quoted it here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=450381.msg5107429#msg5107429The content was probably in the OP of the post mentioned as reference and it was edited later and delete from there. Still, I think he should have just quoted the text instead of copy pasting it directly. The content may have been copied from the post quoted by the post you cited. However I do not think you are describing plagiarism, and it is certainly not something the OP should be banned, nor punished (by forum administration) for, as he clearly cited a source: When it comes to plagiarizing, people will be banned when they pass off someone else's words as their own, not when they use BB code incorrectly, or make mistakes when citing the source to the extent that it is still clear there is a source, and the content is not original. |

I do have very serious concerns about modern major tech companies, however I believe the below is relevant: If they provide services/benefit that exceed these privacy intrusions, they should be free to continue using these platforms. The selling point of giving up private information is doing so allows the platforms to display ads relevant to the end user, and can otherwise provide useful information to the end user. [...] I don't think anyone should be forced to have certain levels of privacy if they don't want privacy, or if they believe the benefits of of giving up certain information outweigh the value of privacy. This is not to say that people should be disallowed from having privacy if that is what they want.

If these companies repeatedly misuse and/or mishandle customers' data, their customers will not give this data in the future, and advertisers may not want to advertise on their platforms. In an ideal world, yes. But in the real world, [...examples...] Okay. If they provide services/benefit that exceed these privacy intrusions, they should be free to continue using these platforms. The selling point of giving up private information is doing so allows the platforms to display ads relevant to the end user, and can otherwise provide useful information to the end user. I don't think Facebook should be lying about what they are collecting from their users, but I also can't say their customers *must* be mad when this happens. I don't think anyone should be forced to have certain levels of privacy if they don't want privacy, or if they believe the benefits of of giving up certain information outweigh the value of privacy. This is not to say that people should be disallowed from having privacy if that is what they want. I think the two statements you appear to be making conflict with each-other: *Facebook (as an example) should be punished for mishandling customer information *Facebook's customers do not care (based on their subsequent actions) that Facebook mishandled their information |

Quickseller, you are a proven scammer. Other's business practices are irrelevant to the conversation of whether you should be trusted as a merit source.
Your post lacks evidence, is libelous and was disproven in my previous response to you. Further, it is difficult to take you seriously after you supported allowing someone back whose actions objectively harmed the community, for reasons that were none other than for selfish personal gain. Your first reaction to this person being removed from the community was suggesting something that would objectively harm both the forum and the bitcoin ecosystem. And your rationale for allowing him to come back were summed up as being he was still alive and he conducted business with you. QS Isn't going to go around meriting posts that don't desetve it nor is he going to send 50 to a ton of people
He should be a merit source.
Thank you sir! The basis for my claim is your history of suckpuppeting and lying.
It seems you are unable to back up your suggestion. This makes me believe your prior statements (and others in this thread) were politically motivated, with the hope of gaining influence/power. On its face, your various stats may indicate you are a helpful forum member, however to anyone who is paying close attention, you are a toxic person, and should be avoided. This is an example of a post being given merit for political reasons by a merit source. edit: I have a long history of finding those who make "objectively high quality posts" that extend well before the merit system as I advertised my own business via a signature campaign that I ran personally, and those that participated generally ended up making objectively good posts during the specific duration the campaign was running. |

I do think a permanent ban for a single instance of plagiarism from a legendary person is a bit harsh. Especially considering the person isn’t reasonably a signature spammer. The underlying reason seems to be financial though.

For some reason I thought Quickseller was made a merit source back in September when Theymos tapped a bunch of members who hadn't applied. I thought he was a source too. If multiple people have though I was already a merit source, and there has not been controversy/concerns with the merits I have been giving out, I don't see any reason why anyone would have legitimate concerns with future merit I give out. I am in the top 25 in terms of recent merit given out. To those who are saying I will use my sMerit to my own alts, this is not only libelous but is illogical. I have demonstrated that I can earn merit with my own well thought out and insightful comments in my posts. There is no need for me to give merit to myself nor will I. I would request that anyone who has suggested this to either provide evidence of this implication or retract your statement.
And I would request that you publish a full list of all accounts that you've ever posted with on this forum and keep us updated when you acquire new ones. Is that to say that you have no basis to backup your claim that I would give merit to my hypothetical alts? I will again demand a retraction. I think TF and Master-P should also apply. We need more scammer sources.
Its too bad I am not accused of scamming anyone. You collected escrow fees while clearly not supplying escrow services. That is theft by deception and makes you a scammer. Any fees collected in regards to what you are referring to was refunded.... Minerjones is rated the most trusted person on this site with the current DT structure and he allowed TMAN to manipulate an auction he was hosting on TMAN's behalf to actually run up the price on buyers.
Minerjones also backed out of many auctions after they closed under the guise the "real" seller backed out. He also has been at least one escrow of multiple transactions in which those he was supposed to be protecting were told they might not recover the entire amount he was supposed to be protecting (due to escrow incompetence) after one party scammed. TMAN was also part of at least one extortion attempt that was unsuccessful, and who knows how many that has been successful. |

There is not very much activity in the serious discussion section and threads are often not responded to. This makes me believe not many people visit this section.
So do you think it's because Signatures are disabled there? Yes, and because posts there don’t add to post counts. If you disagree, then we can agree to disagree on the topic, but in any case, you don’t have my support. |

For someone who's a strong critic of the system and member who oversees the affairs of running that system which includes theymos himself (admin), moderators and merit sources. it's quite surprising seeing you applying to work for that system. It's just like Hillary applying for an office in the Trump's adminstration. I doubt you'll get what you want anyway goodluck on your application you truly need it (the GoodLuck).
Unlike Hillary Clinton, I am not corrupt and cannot be bought. My goal is to contribute in a way that improves the system. To those who are saying I will use my sMerit to my own alts, this is not only libelous but is illogical. I have demonstrated that I can earn merit with my own well thought out and insightful comments in my posts. There is no need for me to give merit to myself nor will I.

I don’t necessarily want more people posting there but I do want people to read those sections on a regular basis. If this is what it takes to achieve this goal then I am okay with more people posting. |

We already have a section that has signature ads (actually all signatures) disabled. It is the serious discussion section. Anything is allowed there except advertisements and posts requesting a response from the administration. Sections like meta and scam accusations are important and this is why they are moderated less strictly than the rest of the forum. Although, I was not aware of this but anyway this is already mentioned above. So, I feel it shouldn't be exactly a major task to have it applied on Scam Accusation and Meta Section. Do you think it's not required? Especially when you yourself say it's "Moderated less strictly", so will this not help? Again what's to lose IF this happens? I mean when the "INTENTION" is to decrease scams, then does it really matters whether Ads are ALLOWED or not? I see no benefit to removing ads from these sections. If anything removing ads would give people with paid signatures to not post there, which in turn will cause less people to visit these sections, which is not a desirable outcome. Disabling signatures is a kind of moderation/restriction. IMO, your motivations are transparent but I prefer to attack the suggestion and not the messenger. |

Despite that, I have mixed feelings about the merit source application. I think QS knows what constitutes a good post and he might not use his sMerits for political reasons. The only concern with him (and all potential merit sources) is trading/selling it. With his spotty past, which includes account selling in addition to the escrow stuff, I just don't know. But hey, it's not up to me. Good luck, QS. I won’t sell any merit, I don’t need to, if I was going to sell merit I would earn it myself, and have shown the ability to earn a lot of (in top 100), and have not sold any merit. I do believe that the forum selling merit would probably get the desired effect of improving post quality because people would be forced to pay to wear paid signatures and would have skin in the game when posting and would be risking losing what they paid if they post junk, but that is off topic here. I won’t use merit for political reasons even though other sources have given merit for likely political reasons for posts that are not objectively high quality posts — they are just not as transparent as stingers was, but that is also off topic here. I do wish for people who put in effort into their time and posts here to be rewarded and those that junk up the forum to not be. You can review my sent merit history (I have sent a lot, more than most people ) to see that I have a history of giving merit to objectivity high quality posts. |

1 - avirunes has no need to "collect" merit because he is already a legendary member. I will also repeat what I said in your other thread, at least the important part: If there appears to be a credible accusation against someone, it is not inappropriate to leave a provisional rating against the person while they wait for additional information to come out.
If you present evidence to show your innocence, OR the accuser (or anyone else) cannot provide sufficient evidence to show that you are a scammer or that you tried to scam someone (or will likely do so in the future) then the ratings can be removed.
The reason for this is so that others will be warned about dealing with a potential scammer.
The purpose of the trust system is to give an assessment of a potential trading partner's ability to trust someone.
It is not uncommon for a scammer to be trying to scam multiple people at a time, and a quick negative rating may prevent additional people from getting scammed after the 1st accusation surfaces if they have not sent the scammer money or property yet, or it will at least cause them to ask questions and take additional precautions to protect themselves.
[...]
If you want to compare the trust system to the legal system, then I would tell you that if there is probable cause that anyone committed a crime, the police can arrest them, and can hold them in jail for a period of time without charging them. The standard of probable cause is very low, but has not been defined by the US Supreme Court to my knowledge. In many jurisdictions, if there is a 51% chance that a crime was committed, the standard of probable cause will have been exceeded.
It is absurd to say there should be a delay from the time when you (allegedly) scam someone until when you should get tahhed. |

I have been running my merit giveaway thread for some time, but have unfortunately run out of sMerit, and have not earned enough merit to keep up with being able to process all the "applications" to receive merit. As such, I would like to apply to become a merit source. I do have concerns about the merit system, primarily that I believe it will cause groupthink, and if made a merit source, I promise to do my best to stop that by awarding merit for objectively high quality posts of others, that a lot of effort was put into, is the 1st (or one of the 1st) correct answer to an inquiry (especially when there are multiple incorrect answers/nonsense posts preceding it, and/or demonstrate interest and/or knowledge in topics I believe those who are interested in Bitcoin are often interested in. I will do my best to make bitcointalk great again by awarding merit to those who put effort into posts, and who wish to contribute to the forum ecosystem, or are otherwise helpful. I have always put in a lot of effort into my work here, and although mistakes have been made, I have always done my best to provide good work product. As of now, I believe I have sent merit to 130 profiles, and on average have given ~3 merit to each profile. Despite not being in a position of power, I have received the 98th most merit out of every forum profile. Each of the below posts has at most 1 merit as of ~10 minutes before creating this thread (note that I may have sent merit on my thread in response to people submitting these posts to me in order to demonstrate their knowledge of one of various topics). Some quotes have been shortened. Over the Counter (OTC) cryptocurrency trading is becoming increasingly popular across the globe. Here’s how it works, who the major players are, and its general pros and cons. What is an Over-The-Counter MarketA decentralized market, without a central physical location, where market participants trade with one another through various communication modes such as the telephone, email and proprietary electronic trading systems. An over-the-counter (OTC) market and an exchange market are the two basic ways of organizing financial markets. In an OTC market, dealers act as market-makers by quoting prices at which they will buy and sell a security, currency, or other financial products. A trade can be executed between two participants in an OTC market without others being aware of the price at which the transaction was completed. In general, OTC markets are typically less transparent than exchanges and are also subject to fewer regulations. BREAKING DOWN Over-The-Counter Market[...] OTC market sizeIn April 2018, Bloomberg reported that the daily OTC market was anywhere between $250 million and $30 billion per day. This is compared to around $15 billion per day on crypto exchanges. [...] Why use an OTC broker (and not a crypto exchange)?• Lack of liquidity - Crypto exchanges have low liquidity in their order books. OTC desks are good for pushing through large trade orders searching for market liquidity. • Price protection, Anonymity - OTC is good for moving large orders which avoids impacting the price, e.g. 1,000 BTC. Order depth will not show up like it does on an exchange. • No fiat onramp - few crypto exchanges have a fiat onramp (though Binance is working on it and already have some solutions in place in Asia). • Avoid price ‘slippage’ - price slippage occurs on exchanges when the executed price is different to the expected price. • Avoid prohibitive crypto exchange limits - The majority of crypto exchanges have prohibitive trading limits. For example, Coinbase limits purchases to $25,000 per day. Kraken only lets you withdraw $2,500 per day and $20,000 per month. Circle imposes a withdrawal limit of $3,000 per week. Who are the main buyers and sellers?[...] The main participants trading crypto OTC are:[...] Which geographies are driving the majority of OTC trading?[...] OTC trading types explained[...] How are the buyers and sellers finding each other?[...] How is the off-exchange market executing?[...] What are the problems with OTC?[...] KYC regulations can be a deal breaker[...] Is emerging software solving these problems?[...] Case study: Enigma Securities[...]

1. STOP THE BOUNTY HUNT AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE FORUM
-Well, one that I notice that some of the Jr. Members that have 0 merits and 200+ activities is that they are only doing bounty reports basically you cannot get merits from that 13 pages of posting of facebook and twitter shits just go out to the Bounties(Altcoins) thread and explore the forum more there are some people that need your help or maybe some information that you might know just help the others.
2. STOP PUTTING YOUR CAT OVER THE KEYBOARD
-I also notice that some of us cannot construct a good English sentence or paragraph properly[...] if you don't know the difference between your/you're, there/their, these/this fuck you need to go to school.
3. DON'T BEG FOR MERITS EARN THEM
[...]
That's all well I experienced all of that but it will help you though I think I will update it if I think of another reason don't be mad at me just sayin'.
First, you need to choose what kind of indicators you need to develop your own Strategy
What type of indicator a trader uses to develop a strategy depends on what type of strategy he or she intends on the building. This relates to trading style and risk tolerance. A trader who seeks long-term moves with large profits might focus on a trend-following strategy, and, therefore, utilize a trend-following indicator such as a moving average. A trader interested in small moves with frequent small gains might be more interested in a strategy based on volatility. Again, different types of indicators may be used for confirmation.
WHAT IS TRADING INDICATORS?- An indicator simply manipulates price data using a mathematical formula. The indicator shows a visual representation of the mathematical formula and price inputs. To a skilled chart reader or trader an indicator often won't reveal more than what is visible just by analyzing the price chart (or volume) without any indicators.
- That said since there is so much to be analyzed on a price chart an indicator helps simplify it. This is why indicators are so alluring to new traders. Instead of learning to how to identify a trend on the price chart, they try to find an indicator that will identify the trend and trend reversals for them.
- Indicator based trading is relying on indicators to analyze the price and provide trade signals. Many indicators provide a specific trade signal which alerts the trade that now is the time to take a trade.
TYPES OF TECHNICAL INDICATORSTREND- Moving Averages
- MACD
- Parabolic SAR
MOMENTUM- CCI
- Stochastics
- Relative Strength Index
VOLATILITY- Bollinger Bands
- Average True Range
- Standard Deviation
VOLUME- Chaikin Oscillator
- OBV
- Rate of Change(ROCV)
TREND INDICATORS
MOVING AVERAGES - A moving average (MA) is a widely used indicator in technical analysis that helps smooth out price action by filtering out the “noise” from random price fluctuations. It is a trend-following or lagging, indicator because it is based on past prices.
- Moving averages lag current price action because they are based on past prices; the longer the time period for the moving average, the greater the lag. Thus, a 200-day MA will have a much greater degree of lag than a 20-day MA because it contains prices for the past 200 days. The length of the moving average to use depends on the trading objectives, with shorter moving averages used for short-term trading and longer-term moving averages more suited for long-term investors. The 50-day and 200-day MAs are widely followed by investors and traders, with breaks above and below this moving average considered to be important trading signals.
- Moving averages also impart important trading signals on their own, or when two averages cross over. A rising moving average indicates that the security is in an uptrend, while a declining moving average indicates that it is in a downtrend. Similarly, upward momentum is confirmed with a bullish crossover, which occurs when a short-term moving average crosses above a longer-term moving average. Downward momentum is confirmed with a bearish crossover, which occurs when a short-term moving average crosses below a longer-term moving average.

First:I want you to come with ideas what a newbie can do to help and popularize bitcoin.Use your imagination and don't copy the suggestions before your post.
Not sure why do you use "Newbie" in this question. Do you mean that those ideas only applicable within this forum? For me, in my hometown, bitcoin are widely known but under a form of multi level scam. There's fact that a lot of people were scammed to poverty here. When I hear people talking about bitcoin, I usually drop by for a couple of minutes and join their talk. There were a lot of amateur talks of amateur people and I'm so glad I enlightened them by my knowledge range: explaining that bitcoin was not borned a scam, it's just people use it to take advantages of others; telling them what's the real revolution behind bitcoin and how can it be mass adopted. Not all of the talks that I've joined are lack of knowledge, some of them included real experts. I learned a lot from them. Second: In addition I want to know what is your mission here in the forum. Just a few words, but let them be honest.
That's all. Good luck.
I am not sure if I can call it "mission" but I remember saying it somewhere: There were some times, I was against the merit system like you are right now. But now I see things differently: merit is the measure of how other people pay respect to you.
I'll try to earn merit in order to win people's respect. Hello, I'd like to share what I know and I think this might help to lessen the chance of you from phishing, virus or even malware in telegram app. This is not proven but I think it might help and there will be no more groups that you didn't joined in once you open your telegram app. Best choice is to leave the channel/group as soon as possible if you don't know what it is or you don't know if it is safe or not. How to change or how to block? Just refer to the instruction below: 1.) Go to settings. [img width=400 height=500 ]https://i.imgur.com/slNffnM.jpg[/img] 2.) Press Privacy and Security.

Exchange name: crex24 Website link: https://crex24.comBitcointalk ANN thread link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2101721.0Profile link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1113444Today I am going share some information about a crypto currency exchange which name is crex24. I can't take my decision what to call them "Scammer" or "Shelter house of scammer". This exchange have listed lots of scam ICO projects and their listing process still going on. They don't care about fake team, plagiarized whitepaper or other scam evidence of any projects. Just for letting everyone know i am going to share information about 2 ICO projects which are proven scam but get listed on this exchange. Those 2 ICO have already proven as scam and got valid proof against them on bitcointalk scam accusation section about their fake team and plagiarized whitepaper. please take a look on below accusation links, EJOB scam accusation: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5045327.msg46645882#msg46645882ALCUP scam accusation: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5122859.0It is to notify all that our forum member made report on their ANN thread about the scam accusation against these scam ICO but they don't feel it necessary to give appropriate answer. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2101721.msg50364300#msg50364300I can't believe how could a exchange do something like this. Its really concerning that they don't care about investors safety. Those listed scam ICOs volume is so negligible on their exchanges. Its completely a clear example of encouraging scam IMO. I hope our community user will stay far from this exchange and whereas they have ANN on bitcointalk so proper actions should be taken against them. In general, IEOs might be a little bit safer than ICOs.
Especially IEOs come from well-known, reliable exchanges, like those one you listed in the OP.
In contrast, for IEOs come from un-known, young, new-born, small volume exchanges, they are more risky and it is difficult to judge that invest into such IEOs is safer than invest into ICOs.
Exchanges can make scam exits, can get hacked and go into dead/ bankcrupted, so it is obviously risky too.
Additionally, it is hard to say IEO invesment is safer, because even exchanges don't got hack, or scam exit, investors can get losses too.
Buying at highs, selling at lows, and eventually get losses as ICO's invesments.
everyone please guide me, how can I understand which will be the legit and profitable project. Leave your comments here to help.
Cryptocurrency is a venture capital area, so no one is sure that you will make a profit from the projects you join and the profits earned from projects that you choose bitterly are also difficult to say, because it depends on many different factors. I have a little experience in evaluating projects and hopes that can help you! I often evaluate projects based on the following principles: 1. Basic things like: development team, project concept, white paper, long-term development strategy must be clear 2. Evaluate project potential based on ability to apply and solve problems in real life. What does it solve for life, how does it apply blockchain technology? 3. How to build community, organize events, meet, conferences. A good project must have a strong community and a large ecosystem 4. How to protect investors: it is best not to have bounty, airdrop, gleam programs. 5. The most important thing of a project according to me is the technology and the financial potential behind the project. You can see a lot of good projects like Steemit, NEM are in top 50 CMC projects but they have a lot of difficulties when the market goes down. Therefore, a project that wants to develop in the long term in the bear market conditions must have a lot of funding. Bakkt just announced a physical delivery bitcoin futures contracts on their platform and investors knows when this goes live, institutional investors will create a huge demand for bitcoins, so they are stocking up on bitcoins now, before the price goes up when the institutional investors jump in.  I do not know if this will be the trigger for a Bull market, but it is a nice change from the boring bear market that we had for months now.  <Just a pity that I sold some coins yesterday>  Why do you call him the president interim? I thought his 30 days had expired.
Is there anybody who could run for president? Guaido has said he will sell off everything to Washington, and that can't be good for Venezuela. I would have thought that the assets should be used to rebuild your country, and not to feed the globalist war machine.
Perhaps "someone" hasn't allowed that part of the constitution to go on? Perhaps someone usurping the power? What do you think? This "someone" and the other guy prosecuted abroad for his relation with a drug cartel must go away and this mechanism activates the exact same way. Guaidó is the President of the National Assembly, elected by popular vote, unlike the usurper in the executive who refuses to leave office and keeps an entire country hostage at gunpoint. But that time will come, sooner than later. The roadmap is: - Cease usurpation
- Transitional government
- Free elections
Those points are nonnegotiable, and must be accomplished in that exact order. PS: Just had another 20 min blackout... edit: I have a long history of finding those who make "objectively high quality posts" that extend well before the merit system as I advertised my own business via a signature campaign that I ran personally, and those that participated generally ended up making objectively good posts during the specific duration the campaign was running.

If there appears to be a credible accusation against someone, it is not inappropriate to leave a provisional rating against the person while they wait for additional information to come out.
If you present evidence to show your innocence, OR the accuser (or anyone else) cannot provide sufficient evidence to show that you are a scammer or that you tried to scam someone (or will likely do so in the future) then the ratings can be removed.
The reason for this is so that others will be warned about dealing with a potential scammer.
This is EXACTLY my point. I am not even willing to say I am Honest/Innocent, because that's not in my hands to decide but I am just pointing the thing you said. The thread accusing me was created and within following hours, I had a "NEGATIVE" feedback. Even a murdered get opportunity to response/reply before pushing them into guilty zone, but here with my case I did not even had THAT OPPORTUNITY. The moment the thread was created, my fate was sealed as SCAMMER/CHEATER/FRAUD. While should it not be responsiblity of the person leaving feedback or opening accusation thread to just ask the person for 1 response before proceeding? Is it not done because people want to get into limelight and get "MERITS"? Is it so easy to damage people's credibility? I know I am a useless JUNIOR but still I do have feelings and reputation that can be HURT! While once again, it's FINE and sensible to add the feedback AFTER 24 hours and if the response is not there but how exactly is it sensible to leave it straight away? The purpose of the trust system is to give an assessment of a potential trading partner's ability to trust someone. It is not uncommon for a scammer to be trying to scam multiple people at a time, and a quick negative rating may prevent additional people from getting scammed after the 1st accusation surfaces if they have not sent the scammer money or property yet, or it will at least cause them to ask questions and take additional precautions to protect themselves. If you demand a delay in others giving you negative trust once an accusation is made, then others will not be warned. If you have a negative rating immidiately after an accusation surfaces, but before you have had a chance to respond, you can address the situation with anyone you are dealing with privately, and it will be up to them to decide if they want to trust you or not. If you want to compare the trust system to the legal system, then I would tell you that if there is probable cause that anyone committed a crime, the police can arrest them, and can hold them in jail for a period of time without charging them. The standard of probable cause is very low, but has not been defined by the US Supreme Court to my knowledge. In many jurisdictions, if there is a 51% chance that a crime was committed, the standard of probable cause will have been exceeded. I do have other concerns about the trust system, but yours is not one of them. If anything, it took too long for a negative rating to be applied, but there may not always be someone reviewing the various marketplace sections, nor the scam accusations sub for this type of thing. |

Their mini update was somewhat timely to the recent price surge we have had earlier this day so, coincidence?  Their update was immidiately prior to the recent surge. I think it is probably fair to say that many people who had USD(t) on exchanges, bought crypto after reading about the update. Whoever is thinking that Bakkt will help bitcoin economy is not correct. Bakkt is just trying to ride on popularity wave of BTC.
Why a bitcoin user will like to submit him/herself to more regulation and under more control of agency?
It is just a false speculation that bakkt will help BTC.
I don't think it is realistic to think bitcoin will not go mainstream without additional regulation. Ideally, any regulation will be modest and will not impede on users' freedoms too much. |

Conpanies like Facebook, apple and google have reputations to maintain and if they give out your personal information in ways you have not agreed to they will suffer financially. No they won't. Facebook gave millions of users' data to Cambridge Analytica. They were fined $500,000, which is chump change to Facebook. Google Plus revealed that 438 different third party apps had unauthorized access to your data. No punishment. Similarly, Apple have plenty of third party apps which sell your data. No punishment. And that's only if you think that these companies aren't selling your data themselves, which I find very difficult to believe. I am not sure what government fines have to do with anything. After the Cambridge Analytica scandal, Facebook lost over $130 billion in market value, however they recovered after implementing changes to prevent this from happening again -- and the outrage was more about the fact it marginally helped the Trump campaign than the amount/type of data leaked IMO (it was mostly public information, but in mass quantity not easily available to the public). The Google plus data leak was the result of mistakes in regards to data security, and not malicious intent -- anyone who stores data is going to have the potential for leaking data, I am also not sure what data Google Plus has, but I would presume it would not be much more than what is shared with connections, but may not be public. If these companies repeatedly misuse and/or mishandle customers' data, their customers will not give this data in the future, and advertisers may not want to advertise on their platforms. Over the weekend, Zuckerberg wrote an editorial in the Washington Post arguing for more internet regulation so he can hide behind the regulations (and blame the government) the next time he has a similar screwup. |
