    When I was looking for a job the state run employment agency wanted to force me to make a linkedin profile even though I told them that I am being stalked by an ex and generally don’t do social media. They ultimately threatend to cut my aid if I don’t make a profile. A profile on a private website that does not respect user privacy nor data protection laws.

    Luckily I found a new position before that fight escalated, but it still infuriates me thinking back to it.

    Damn, they all be sucking Orange mushroom. Very sad, but predictable. Open source is they only way to be (as it can get) free, in digital life.

      When particular news outlets and social media sites make bogeymen out of one of the smallest groups of people on the planet, consumers of that media will seek out the bogeymen.
