  • I'd say they're equally meh due to not showing the whole picture. TV kinda says what feds allow 'em to, and antisocial media gives an easy way to filter only the news strengthening your beliefs in whatever (I.e. radicalization). But with the latter one can at least consciously add more perspectives [unless it's Facebook, and zuckwomble decides to conduct one of his mood control experiments or something]

  • It's not about the past vs present, it's about them solving an issue that didn't exist in the first place. Like who the hell thinks it's a good idea to let cars connect to the internet? Except car manufacturers who decided cars became too cheap for their tastes so it'd be nice to data-mine the customers as well. Enshitification 101, that's all I'm saying.

  • Because cryptography is hard, especially when you're trying to do it in a user-friendly manner, with syncing encrypted conversations between devices and whatnot. Like, it's kinda the whole reason why the classic reply to "how do I make my own encryption algorithm" is "don't".

    Also, with proprietary platforms you can't make sure stuff's encrypted the way they say it is
