Oh no, not only the very ethical American companies get my data?
What a disaster.Tell me again how tik tok is a Chinese spy network? When they can just BUY our information like this?
Saudi Arabia isn’t a person. I hate it when news titles aren’t specific enough. Is it the government that bought them? A private company? Just a dude that happens to be Saudi? The implications can change drastically based on who bought it.
Also the article link isn’t working for me so all i got is the title. And as most people that’d see it, they’d also only read the title, this type of simplification can lead to a lot of misinformation. Or worse, racism, as you combine a whole country and its people to one entity which is dehumanizing. I’m speaking from experience as a Saudi person who’s always grouped with the “saudi” or "Arabic " or “brown” groups instead of another human being.
In short, news should stop generalizing and be more specific, especially in the titles, the part that most people will interact with.

So am i, and i’m also sick of it and the people who use this to fuel discrimination. I see this article as more of a reason to hate the sauds, not saudi people.
Anyone that groups individuals with their government is a bigot advertising their bigotry.
Edit: looks like I upset some bigots.
Can you prove this is worse than an insideous, shitty company like Niantic? No. No you cannot.
FUCK Niantic, and fuck this xenophobic noise.
Yes, i’d love my data to be owned by oil barons that want to see me decapitated.
The sauds are the most evil people alive. And i’m saying this as an arab.

Koreans might disagree with this statement.
OOTL, who is it for them, then?

The Kim dynasty. How can one be out of the loop about the basics of North Korea?
Why are you being hostile? I just mostly focus on middle eastern politics.
I’d argue while the kim dynasty are the worst in the korean peninsula, they aren’t as much of a danger as the sauds globally.
Yay, capitalism.
And what’s so wrong in this particular case?
The sauds are the last people you want to own anything you use.
I don’t get how that’s capitalism’s fault though
Because it allows people’s data to be sold off. In other words, we’re the product.
Then the “yay capitalism” phrase can be applied to any digital product, and not just to this one then
