Statyerna på #Bergshamra torg har fått halsdukar idag, tydligen en hälsning från #Rebellmammorna

"Stickar för klimatet"
"1,5 grader"
"Vi drar en gräns"

De som drivit igenom reglerna om visitationszoner tycker tydligen inte det är viktigt att folk samarbetar med polisen, tipsar, vittnar, och anmäler brott.

Det viktiga som uppnås, antar jag, är den härliga (?) känslan av att nu blir det minsann "hårda tag".

Jag undrar, känns det också bra att dessa "hårda tag" genomförs tillsammans med ett parti med rötter i nazismen?

Jag själv tycker inte det känns bra alls, det här med visitationszoner är fel väg att gå.

Manne Gerell, docent i kriminologi vid Malmö Universitet intervjuad i SR säger också:

"Det finns också ganska gott om forskning om hur folk upplever att bli stoppade och kontrollerade och det är ju sällan en positiv upplevelse och det riskerar att leda till att man får ett mindre förtroende för polisen och kanske då i mindre grad bli benägen att samarbeta med polisen, tipsa, vittna, och anmäla brott."

"Det kommer säkerligen att finnas den typen av mönster i Sverige också, där folk med utländsk bakgrund oftare kommer bli stoppade och kontrollerade. [...]"

@karlemilnikka Have a look at a list of the top 10 largest companies in the world. You will find Google, Apple, Microsoft all in the top 5. They control the operating systems of nearly all devices people use today. Their power is a serious threat.

Now imagine Google and Apple merging into a single company. (if not officially merging they could anyway do that informally) Would you still recommend their products?

They are becoming like "E Corp" in the Mr. Robot tv series. Not good. No!

@karlemilnikka

Google becoming a hardware+software company like Apple is certainly good for Google's business, but it's bad news for those of us who want to have some kind of freedom.

The "Google Pixel" devices are part of that, and it's not good. The size and power of those companies is really dangerous.

@karlemilnikka

Another thing that bothers me: how can you recommend Google Pixel phones?!?

The fact that Google has started expanding its influence to include hardware making is very dangerous.

They are moving towards having control of both the operating system and the hardware, like Apple.

Having separate hardware makers and software makers is good, because it leads to standards being used and it limits the power of any one individual company.

Google and Facebook can do this kind of crap, and they can do much worse, without consequences. It is not surprising that they behave badly, it is to be expected. And we should expect even worse in the future, as their power increases even further.

Regarding the fact that Facebook and Google are shamelessly publishing blatant malware ads and refusing to take them down, @karlemilnikka asks "how is this possible?" as if it was super surprising.

The reason that is possible, which is not mentioned in the podcast, is that those companies are so big that they do not need to care. There is effectively no competition, no "market forces" that would matter to them.
