Context: Terms of Service (TOS) Under Scrutiny - Part XII - Microsoft's LinkedIn Grants Itself Licence for Plagiarism, Distortion of Facts

GitHub is “software piracy on an unprecedented scale" (GPL violations). LinkedIn is the same for text and personal information.

Social control media [sic] is not just a brainwash and censorship tool; it makes people "addicted" by letting them craft a false image of themselves, e.g. one wherein they're exceptionally popular and important (a bad exchange/transaction because illusions have little substantial value, it's like a "trip" and a trap). █
