No, you're missing the point. The FSF isn't the kernel developers, it's the lawyers. They just exist to sue people in defense of the GPL. They usually do a better job of it than individuals, too.
Good. Now that we have that cleared up, I'm sure you'll have no hesitations about posting your social security number, mailing address, bank account number(s) and credit card number(s) along with any relevant PIN numbers or whatnot.
Yea, but if they leave a car up on the sidewalk or leave it at a parking meter but fail to pay for parking, they get towed. That is not an accurate comparison.
Bloomberg's test units were sabotaged in-transit in an obvious way in order to specifically discredit Bloomberg and their testing methodology and their supply chain so that when a story like this later comes out nobody will believe it.
That's more along the lines of how I was thinking. When I started seeing these discarded electric scooter husks littering the sidewalks all over town my first thought was just: "How the fuck is this even legal?"
Just so you know, however benign your motivations, that's still in direct violation of Facebook's TOS which actually requires your personal information to be complete and accurate.
They could kick all of your accounts off their platform at any time for this, but they probably won't. The accounts in question that they did kick off were kicked off because excessive spam-botting (automated software controlling literally thousands of "puppet" accounts) was being abusively and obviously used to manipulate public discourse in an inorganic way. Your one anonymous sock-puppet is unlikely to be a relevant comparison unless you've fundamentally misrepresented yourself here.
When they've locked up at least a few of my rather evil and (only incidentally) treasonous family members then I'll believe they're "following the facts wherever they lead." In fact, in light of their heinous and unmitigated crimes against myself and society, and in light of the fact that this repeatedly-debunked argument about encryption is technically impossible to actually pull off without actually giving more access to criminals as well, I can only assume FBI Director Christopher Wray is also in on it.
Btw your wiretap on my cellphone broke the voicemail box. Now nobody can talk to me. Idiots.
The entire premise of your statement (that net neutrality wasn't what we were operating under this entire time) is completely false. Either you've been fed a huge lie that you're now parroting, or you're the one feeding the lies.
Historically the iPhone version has had more permissions features than the Android one, I think. Also, the article is clearly talking about the website, not an app.
Oh, I very much believe that the threat these 2FA advocates warn about is quite real. That doesn't mean Facebook has any intention of treating the situation as anything more than an opportunity to sell verified cellphone numbers to robo-callers and malware-distributors alike, of course. These two threats aren't mutually exclusive. In fact, they're very likely to be closely related.
So, you're right. Let me just get that right out in the open first, because you're right even though you probably won't get any up-mods for it.
But as I'm reading this it strikes me as problematic in the way you've presented your argument. I keep hearing the words of others echoing in my head, telling me that I was too biased to be heeded when I tried to protect them in this manner.
So you (both of us, really) have to figure out a way to make this argument sound like it is coming from someone rational and unbiased, but still knowledgeable. I've tried leaving out the emotionally-charged rhetoric and just piling on raw facts, but then this same archetypal person will just assume I'm trying to bamboozle them with complicated words, instead.
So, seriously here. How do we get this same point across when we're not preaching to the choir?
Yea but the revolutionary breakthrough here is that Google found a way to patent it so now nobody else can do it anymore without paying them royalties.

It would be fun to try, anyway.

Information must be free, right comrade?

No, they'll fine you for that too.
(Oh yea, and the detectable botting really shoots holes in the advertising revenue stream, so I'm sure that is a big motivation for Facebook too.)

Well, don't move to Washington. They'll fine you for that.
There's no settlement check. She's dead.
Capone got busted on tax evasion. I'm not sure bringing him up is relevant here.

Stop giving the animals super powers you fools!!!

A way to increase font sizes without breaking page layouts on poorly programmed sites.

The data was right. They just misinterpreted it because they were arrogant. You're right about the rest of it.
Yea except Clinton lost because she ran on the platform of starting WW3 with Russia. So that sorta blows your entire theory.
For whatever it's worth, I had mistrust for Cisco before it was cool.
Seconded. And I'm not even European.
