I take comfort in the fact that Oracle hasn’t been able to release new products. They’re basically a legal team wrapped around their existing software.

That said, fuck this guy.

Yeah, that would make any kind of political speech practically impossible. Activism? Nope, out of the question. Creative artistic expression? Better watch out for the thought police.

We don’t need “best behavior,” that would be so incredibly boring.

His out of touch suggestion is completely incompatible with democracy.

Keep in mind that Larry Ellison is fundamentally incapable of caring whether or not “citizens will be on their best behavior.” The only reason he would say a thing such as this is because he sees an opportunity to make money from such a system.

Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think ‘oh, the lawnmower hates me’ – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle.

I agree wholeheartedly Larry so let’s start with monitoring the sex dungeon where you keep the abducted kids locked up, you fucking bootlicking Orwellian psychopath.

Can’t wait for my security-minded, feudal overlords

If those are your views on privacy, mister, then let’s start by you giving everyone access to your personal messages, unedited or unrestricted.

Never liked this guy. And Oracle DB has always kinda sucked.
