I mean, worst case Facebook disappears or become a pay only service. I am 100% ok with that, it has been proven times and times again that society, children, young adults, older adults, democracies would be far better off without it.

That excuse only works for people who have no ideas how programming works. New features can't appear because of a glitch.

The only thing that can indeed happen is the feature was developed and tested, and it was enabled by a glitch. But the feature necessarily was developed intentionally, because things don't just appear like that in a program.

Proof n°1093866 that being rich has nothing to do with being smart.

That's true, but that's because of a different loophole : we only count poor people's income as income. Meaning salary.

We simply have to consider all monetary gain, including non liquid assets as income, and the issue vanishes. So shares are counted for example.

You can't but some parser allow them. But those that do do not respect the standard.

Rich people aren't necessarily smart. These are two unrelated metrics. See Elon Musk for a counter example.

At this point any web service is encrypted because it uses https then. Technivamly true but as everyone is doing it it doesn't mean anything anymore, so the meaning has changed to mean E2E encrypted.

Yes but why stop to the new adults when you can keep your user base? More growth more money.

That is the end of the reflexion for companies.

Fascism and democracy are on a spectrum, and we definitely aren't as close to democracy as I would like.

Depending on where you draw the line on the spectrum you can consider France is fascist, or in a pre-fascist state.

The executive is very powerful, to the point that the minister of justice is currently undergoing trial, and keeps his position. Of course he is judged by a literal two speed justice system, by a special court reserved for members of the executive branch.

In France, the parliament can't propose new laws except for 1 day a year for each parliamentary group (essentially one group per political party with more than a certain amount of seats).

Only the government can, and it is the government that sets the order of the day. The parliament can however modify the law proposed, but thanks to the famous article 49.3 the government can just ignore those.

This is essentially how it works in France... And it's bad. The president gets elected with 20% of the votes and then he has a majority in the parliament (relative majority for this term) but it means the parliament is useless. Look up article 49.3 of the constitution and its uses by the current prime minister.
