  • Working in a kitchen isn’t a felony though, nor is serving food normally. Now, if someone said they spit in the food and you knew about it but still served it, that could be a felony. If that ‘spit’ turned out to be rat poison and killed a guy, that’s felony murder.

    There has to be a level of participation before felony murder happens. If you knew about something bad happening and did nothing to stop it. But, they have to be able to prove that you knew about it, or at least convince the judge/jury

    Agree with you about it being used disproportionately on non-white though, there’s some fucked up felony murder charges out there.

    To the previous poster’s point, internet ads have evolved away from ‘paying the bills’ and more towards ‘harvesting and selling your data’. It’s made to be as invasive as possible now because they want your data, whereas before it was much easier to ignore or filter out. And it’s everywhere, from websites to mobile apps.

    To your example, the amount of money youtube(well, google) has spent on trying to beat adblockers could make the service free for everyone and keep the lights on…but it makes more money to sell your data instead, so they try to shove more ads in. That’s also not counting the amount of paid research that goes into ‘what advertising is effective’, or ‘how many ads is too many’, stuff like that. Not nearly as much thought was put into them in the early days.
