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

 @9NVFB9N  from Georgia  answered…11mos11MO

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

 @9ZVFP2L from Arizona  answered…5mos5MO

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…11mos11MO

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…11mos11MO

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.

 @B583CPD from Rhode Island  answered…6 days6D

Yes, and personal data should not be collected by any institution, be it government, corporate, etc.

 @B56CVZQ from Texas  answered…1wk1W

Yes and make it so companies must make it much more clear how their data is being used without having to look for it or read through excessive text to fully understand

 @B55ZFPY from Georgia  answered…1wk1W

Even if there are, someone still would have out private information regardless of regulations or not. The government is also a little reckless themselves so it doesn't even matter at this point.

Holy Intervention: Iran Urges Pope Francis to Stop War in Middle East

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian called on Pope Francis to use his influence with Christian governments to stop war in the Middle East, semi-official Fars news agency reported on Wednesday."Encourage world leaders, especially Christian governments, to prevent the continuation of aggressions made by the criminal Israeli regime," Pezeshkian said, in what Fars described as a message to the Pope.The message was delivered by an Iranian delegation participating in a religious dialogue event held in the Vatican, Iran's government website said.Tehran and the Holy See have enjoyed formal diplomatic relations since 1954, and Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in 2022 shared a message to Pope Francis lauding his "stances on consolidating relations between Islam and Christianity".Last week, Pope Francis suggested the global community should study whether Israel's military campaign in Gaza constituted a genocide of the Palestinian people, in some of his most explicit criticism yet of Israel's conduct in its year-long war.Israel says accusations of genocide in its Gaza campaign are baseless and that it is solely hunting down Iranian-backed Hamas and other armed groups.Pezeshkian added that Tehran was ready to engage constructively with the Vatican to promote peace and justice in the world.Francis, leader of the 1.4 billion-member Catholic Church, is usually careful not to take sides in international conflicts, and to stress de-escalation. But he has stepped up his criticism of Israel's conduct in its war against Hamas recently.

Biden's Trash Talk: President Calls Trump Supporters "Garbage" Over Racial Jokes

President Biden sparked backlash on Tuesday when he appeared to compare supporters of former President Trump to garbage after commenting on a racist joke a comedian made at a Trump rally days earlier likening Puerto Rico to an “island of garbage.”The White House in a statement argued that the president was referring to the rhetoric at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday as “garbage.”“The President referred to the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally as ‘garbage,’” deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said in a statement.It also provided a fuller transcript of the comment, which included an apostrophe with “supporter’s,” to indicate Biden was referring to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s “demonization of Latinos” as “garbage.”Hinchcliffe delivered a comedic set at a Madison Square Garden rally for Trump on Sunday in New York City that mocked Latinos, Jews and Black men and included a joke comparing Puerto Rico to a “floating island of garbage.”And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage.’ Well, let me tell you something. I don’t — I — I don’t know the Puerto Rican that — that I know — or a Puerto Rico, where I’m from, in my home state of Delaware, they’re good, decent, honorable people. “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American. It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been,” Biden said, according to the transcript provided by the White House.In a post on X, Biden himself asserted he was referring to the rhetoric from Hinchcliffe.
