But we do listen.
You could be one of those rare people with no smartphone, no laptop. I can hand you your first device with Facebook installed, and if you didn't use the device — just kept it on and logged into it for the first time — we'd have ads waiting for you without you searching for anything.
I know this, because I was that guy (once) and because of where I work.
@Linux if the video is wrong I would love to see your reporting on it.
If I ever leave my job, I may some day have a lot to say and a lot to prove.
@Linux I would reach out to your favorite reporter and break this earth shattering story that goes against most reports. They can help you keep your name of the story if they guide them to how to proove your claims.
I am in the wrong country for that. Our media here have an invested interest and do not always report on things people should know.
It will wait until the day I am not here.
@Linux well then your "but we do" will not be believed. Find a reporter in a different country. get a vpn and make fake profiles.
Believe, don't believe — I'm not in a position to prove anything yet. Only in a position to casually say, I know better.
