And this is particularly ridiculous when we still have Trump supporters insisting that "Donald Trump has single-handedly brought back free speech" because he's made fun of political correctness a couple times.
There's an old saying that the real menace in dealing with a five-year-old is that in no time at all you begin to sound like a five-year-old.
This explains much about those still defending Trump.
For home insurance they certainly do. Your home's location is used to assess crime risk. Also fire risk; how far away you are from fire stations and hydrants, and flood risk.
Life insurance may include behavioral risk, tied to the number and types of claims of other people in your area.
Your car insurance will take some of these into account.

Trump railed at actual fake news
Railed in favor of. Repeated often.
globalists attacked Trump
On what globe is Trump not a globalist? This is a guy with business holdings and ties all over the world. He's one of the top globalists out there. His White House team has been filled with globalists from Goldman Sachs, Exxon, etc. and folks with ties to other governments.
do you NOW recognize that the "Trump-Russia collusion" you ran here for months was all fabricated?
It would help if the evidence for that collusion didn't keep growing. Or, you know, if even his campaign CEO and post election chief strategist and national security advisor wasn't now throwing the "treason" word around.
Re: This is SOLELY a Youtube problem, NOT copyright.
No, it isn't solely a YouTube problem.
YouTube can't effectively review all the videos being uploaded every second any more than FaceBook can review all the thousands of posts made per second. And even if either had the staff to do so, there are large grey areas where there will be little agreement on what constitutes offensive or copyright violating posts.
The problem is a copyright system that hands them an impossible job - putting THEM on the hook for users' posts. And so an automated system is the only way to go.
That system is biased heavily in favor of the IP holders, since they're the ones that can sue. Which unfortunately also makes it easy for trolls to abuse.
If copyright were less biased (offering penalties when the public's rights were violated) then no doubt YouTube's automated system would be less biased and harder to abuse.
Calling her the "most qualified woman" is an insult to women everywhere.
She's been in politics most of her life, and not just as the wife of a President and Governor. She's a former Secretary of State. A U.S. Senator for eight years. And there's her legal background outside of politics.
Just out of morbid curiosity, what candidate in the last few election cycles, male or female, in either party, do you consider MORE qualified than her?
I'd recommend public transit to avoid vehicle tracking. But then my city switched to electronic fare cards and readers. They now record all users' travels, and those records have already been used in court.
Sure. "More advanced" is not the same as "less evil" or "less oppressive. A smart bomb is more advanced than a dumb bomb, but that does nothing for the well-being of the target.
The US needs to deploy something like this. Even if it was strictly just for ID.
Think about that for a moment.
Long before the Equifax breach, false identities were being used to steal people's tax returns. The thieves needed little more than victim's Social Security numbers and publicly available information.
It's why here in Canada you're not supposed to give out your Social Insurance Number (SIN). And yet you MUST give it out if you want to rent or co-sign an apartment, open a bank account, apply for a job, etc. etc.
Give everyone an official ID number, and companies will demand and collect them the same way. Equifax included. And so they too will be in a scores of data breaches a year and exploited by identity thieves.
The Chinese system has you scan in your face, but of course that too will be demanded by Equifax, employers and rental agencies, and included in the next generation of data breaches.
Why would trumptard be able to sue the publisher or Wolff anyway? The agreement was with Bannon.
Bannon was the Trump White House's Karl Rove, in on all the secrets. He was part of the National Security Council. He could do more damage than Chelsea Manning or even Edward Snowden
Should he spill secrets in his book, that would put the publisher in the same position as WikiLeaks and Wolff in the same position as Julian Assange.
That's mostly at the discretion of the President, but he's not widely known for discretion.
Who could have predicted that the Trump gang would dissolve into animosity, infighting and litigation? That's like predicting that the target market for fidget spinners would have lost interest in them so quickly.
