I wonder how that's going to play out with Apple and their monopoly.

To be fair, what they want is to make money off of you, be it through metadata or through advertising. It's just that sending you videos happens to be the model which they use to get the metadata or advertising income.

Your metadata is still extremely valuable to them, and it's not limited to just watch history and likes, but rather everything on how you engage in their services, including where your mouse cursor sits.

Not using it helps do that.

And as an fyi for anyone that may be confused: They mean the patient squeezing a rubber ball while their arm is in a tourniquet (the band that goes around the upper arm while blood is drawn).

(But yes, either type of ball is completely different than squeezing a penis. Just goes to show how screwy perception can get while under anesthesia.)

How about just not auto-convert everything and keep the integrity of the data unless specifically asked to? Is that so hard?

I’m sure they’ll try to implement some type of DRM BS into the web

Funny you say that:

Way to be exactly the type of person they are referring to.

Don't worry, this was just the Chinese campaign. The Russian one is still going strong.

If I remember, tech companies are generally those whose primary products are digitally based. And technology these days has essentially become synonymous woth the internet.

Lmao why would you only announce this in an obscure space that 99% of the userbase doesn’t follow?

"All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now."

So, what specifically makes combating drugs (not specific ones, just drugs in general) good, and how is it comparable to fighting pedophilia? And is it important enough to encroach on individual rights like privacy and due process?
