Think lower level. They own your device keyboard, so they can technically read whatever you type. Whether they send that to the mother ship, I don’t know, but it’s a risk. That’s one example, but same holds true for anything low level, like mic, camera, etc.

I’ve been a “Pro” user for as long as they’d had that distinction vs. lower end and the “it’s a small tablet” size.

That’s pretty awesome

That’s a great TL:DW;

Now I want an iPhone that can charge in 20 minutes. :)

Explosives

I mean, if the red light is all you get, you can’t consent without already being recorded. You can’t see the light without being re4cordd, so you haven’t provided consent. I’m totally OK with consent revocation being a nice punch in the face to those wearing these surveillance devices.

Don’t worry, they have plenty of interest in you, like it or not.

Apple and Google should just prevent their app stores from functioning in Texas. This crap is getting absurd. Cause a few riots from citizens when all their apps stop working, or it’ll only get worse.

I thought Google’s plans to kill AOSP effectively put a nail in Graphene’s coffin?

The fact that these photos and PII (personally identifiable information) were not destroyed after the verification process was certified is absolutely atrocious OpSec. I don’t even care which of the two companies is ultimately responsible, because they are both responsible.

1. Zendesk for their bad OpSec
2. Discord for both outsourcing this AND not having contractual requirements to properly secure and destroy PII when it was no longer required.

I work in IT, and treat PII like it’s dangerously radioactive, because in the digital world, it really is.

You CAN use it to interact with people without them knowing your number. The only current requirement is specific to registration.

The CEO is saying they are willing to, that should be taken seriously.

That makes the assumption you want to use your phone number at all. And I’m sure the overhead of encryption would break SMS due to the limits on character counts.

1. This administration doesn’t give a fuck about court precedence
2. They are buying the data, not getting court orders for it. It’s the loophole around due process

This data shouldn’t even be sold by mobile carriers in the first place, but capitalism greed must steamroll along.

How would removing a recurring charge on the processor side result in a chargeback? A chargeback is when you call your processor/card company and tell them to reverse a charge, which results in the charging company also having to pay a fee on top of losing that revenue.

If they can’t charge you in the first place, there is nothing to create a chargeback.

That means nothing when the servers stop taking EU traffic. I get your point, but the real solution here is putting a bullet (double tap) in Chat Control, once and for all.

I could’ve sworn he originally wanted it to be a trilogy.

Why not just make it a website? We’re not doing censoring yet, right?

They’re too busy trying and failing to use AI to replace actors…
