Because many people keep posting pictures, putting their real name and sharing personal info on facebook (“I’m a married male that studied Architecture at Michigan University. I live in Ann Arbor”). This shit basically makes Zuck richer because he can sell more accurate data to companies.
Because many dumb US States are kissing his ass to get data centers that will use water, electricity, generate pollution and create little to/no jobs. Dumb politicians think they are getting a great deal.
This is the guy who wrote ‘they trust me. Dumb fucks’ in an email.

US Speeding fines are significantly lower than fines in Britain, France Germany, Australia or Asia. Contrarily to a common myth, US cities/states don’t finance themselves with speeding fines. It’s a tiny tiny drop in the bucket in the total budget.
One of the thing I noticed on US social media is that several american men (it’s always men) call major US cities crime-ridden democratic shitholes. They want harsh punishments for lawbreakers. These very same accounts don’t see breaking the law as a bad thing. Some even cheer attacks on cameras (destruction of public property). It’s actually insane that they don’t notice the hypocrisy.
