They’re almost certainly powering Palentir’s shit, so yeah.

My vote is thinly disguised sexism.

Actually, I don’t think you understood my argument.

I’m not asking about what individual members of the public are supposed to do, I’m asking what lawmakers are supposed to do. I’m talking about beyond a mere boycott, which (as you yourself just pointed out) is a losing strategy.

The problem is, what are you supposed to do about it without violating the First Amendment?

Something right!

The second bill, being pushed by Sen. Anavitarte, would have an even more chilling impact on the ability to expand transit in the region.

The bill he is proposing would eliminate GRTA, which was established by former Gov. Roy Barnes to help expand transit in the region. It would also eliminate the ATL, which was established in 2018, to better connect transit options across the 13-county region.

MARTA was already stolen from the control of Atlanta/Fulton/Dekalb (i.e. the places it actually serves) and subjugated by “ATL” so that the board of directors could be stuffed with the state government’s (conservative) appointees. But apparently even that isn’t enough; this fascist fuck wants to completely disenfranchise Atlantans by putting it under the control of SRTA (the State Road and Tollway Authority – just the name alone tells you its position on transit), whose board is comprised only of state appointees.

Things like LineageOS are a workaround, not a solution.

The solution has to be legal, not technical. Companies have to be stopped from trying to fuck with users’ property rights in the first place!

Everybody knew dot-coms in 2000 and houses in 2007 were bubbles, too. But they kept investing anyway, because they didn’t know when it would pop and FOMO is a helluva drug.
