  • I feel like you only read half my comment each time.

    You will always reach a point of diminishing marginal returns with measures taken, and you have to evaluate the impact of the measure against it’s effectiveness.

    The argument is that school closures likely did not contribute sufficiently to justify their extent of implementation, meaning you probably would have wanted a few more people dying to avoid the shortfalls in children’s education and socialisation that you have now. The ends, in retrospective, arguably did not justify the means.








  • I guess it raises a fundamental question: If not ads, what else would Facebook male money off? Running the operations is costly and something has to pay for it.

    I am aware that Norways ban is temporary (and I’m hella glad that at least the EU/European countries stand up to big tech on data security), but just not allowing the use of user data will probably not work as a solution.

    Wikipedia’s model sounds nice, but the cost of operations are by magnitudes different. I think it’s a question that will also affect other platforms (like it did affect reddit and will affect Lemmy at some point).
