jatkins··on How Game Apps That Captivate Kids Have Been Collecting Their Data
It's very irresponsible of you to tell children that they should share personal data about themselves on the Internet.
jatkins··on Net neutrality gives “free” Internet to Netflix and Google, ISP claims
What I mean is that Netflix pushes the bytes from one side. Bosch doesn't push electricity from one side to make my Bosch washing machine work for example. (Which highlights another reason this analogy is bad: the electric company gives you power which they have to generate themselves, while an ISP is pipes)

Bad analogy, since the ISP lays a (figurative and real) pipe between Netflix and the user; this isn't correct for electricity.
