No to restrictions, but transparency concerning the use of collected data should be required and strictly adhered to.

 @9NVFB9N  from Georgia  answered…1yr1Y

Customers and companies should be able to contract under informed consent, and punished if the contract is violated.

 @9ZVFP2L from Arizona  answered…10mos10MO

companies shouldnt be allowed to collect ANY unconsented information from a user, and you should never have to accept terms to VISIT a website.

 @9NKN9QQ  from Washington  answered…1yr1Y

No, and it should stop micromanaging our lives. We're adults, and we can chose what services we use and what level of data collection we allow.

  @K.-R.-FitzlaffLibertarian  from Indiana  answered…1yr1Y

No, But companies must be transparent in the data they collect and users should have the ability to opt out of data collection without fear of reprisal.

 @B74GGFX  from California  answered…3wks3W

Yes, absolutely. Even farther, I think they should take away algorithms and return to the use simple sorting and curation. I don't need the machine to feed me my daily bread.

 @B7KKW63 from Indiana  answered…4 days4D

Yes and the government should have sticker regulations imposed on them as well. The government should not be allowed to buy Americans personal data from the companies that collect it in order to by pass laws that prevent them from tracking Americans without a warrant

 @B7KJ9FZ from Ohio  answered…4 days4D

No, the government should deregulate so that way they can allow smaller companies to compete with the larger corporations

Trump’s Doom vs. Harris’s Hope as America Decides Its Fate

Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris closed out their campaigns in the final hours before Election Day in starkly different moods: The former president, often appearing drained at arenas that were not filled, claimed that the country was on the brink of ruin, while the vice president promised a more united future as energized supporters chanted alongside her, “We’re not going back.”In stop after stop, the presidential rivals essentially offered up two competing versions of reality on Monday and into early Tuesday. Mr. Trump repeatedly raised the specter of unchecked immigration and the dangers of Democratic policies as he spoke to crowds in North Carolina and Pennsylvania before closing with a midnight rally in Michigan.With a comparatively more optimistic message, Ms. Harris crisscrossed Pennsylvania, which holds 19 electoral votes that could decide the race. Stopping in Scranton, Allentown and Pittsburgh before a nighttime rally in Philadelphia, Ms. Harris talked about bolstering the economy and restoring federal abortion rights. She asserted that Americans were “exhausted” and ready to move on from the politics of the past decade.About 30 miles to the southwest, Mr. Trump was in Reading, Pa., broadly portraying undocumented immigrants as mentally ill criminals and calling those accused of crimes “savages” and “animals.”Both leaned on Hispanic supporters as they tried to rally Latino voters. The pro-Harris rapper Fat Joe, who is Puerto Rican, practically shamed his fellow Latinos in Allentown as he asked, “Where’s your pride?” Mr. Trump, still facing fallout from his rally in New York at which a comedian called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” brought Roberto Clemente Jr., the son of the Puerto Rican baseball legend, to the stage at a rally in Pittsburgh.But Mr. Trump, reaching the end of a grueling marathon of a campaign that began in 2022, looked visibly weary, battling fatigue in front of listless crowds, though he was relatively more upbeat and energized in Michigan. Ms. Harris, still appearing fresh after a three-month sprint, appealed for unity and pressed the contrast to her rival without uttering his name.“The measure of a true leader is based not on who you beat down,” she said. “It is based on who you lift up.”Despite the sharply different tones, polls suggest the race remains tight, with the final New York Times/Siena College surveys showing the candidates tied or holding only narrow leads in all of the seven battleground states.
