I'm not on board with sms being a better service in general, but it's kind of difficult to argue that other messaging services are superior when sms is the only one designed to be accessible without internet access.

Man, this is the single most ignorant comment I've seen regarding Facebook. You've never wondered how a company that offers a free product makes billions?

If that list didn't have anything on it except "location", I'd still say that you're wrong about them not tracking you. How can you read all of the other things on that list and not realize that selling your data is how they make money?

I do not. The gist of my reply was just that cutting production by half doesn't have to happen over night. Setting a scaling goal of five years, for example, would give ample time for people to adapt and less environmentally strenuous alternatives to arise.

Anyway, I'm not trying to say that change doesn't have to come from the bottom as well. I'm also not super keen on continuing this conversation in the wake of being wholesale banned for talking about corporate interests. It just kind of left a bad taste in my mouth.

Thanks for listening.

Hey bud, I'm the guy you asked what in my opinion would happen if companies halved their consumption over night. I just wanted you to know that I replied, but due to the fact that the mod of this place disagreed with something I had to say about cruise liners, I got banned and all my comments erased.

Good luck, and try not to disagree with the power tripper here.
