Imagine having a government that demands things of its corporations instead of the other way around
Imagine having a Government that uses political prisoners as forced laborers.
Actually all prisoners in America are political prisoners because politics determines the laws that put them in prison

System providers should avoid recommendation algorithms that create “echo chambers” and induce addiction, allow manipulation of trending items, or exploit gig workers’ rights, the notice said.
