Oh, you mean that checkbox (Block dangerous and deceptive content) any sane persons unticks after installing? Of course there are people thinking Firefox has an adblocker baked in an let this option checked, but they soon find out it's not the case.
Way off, buddy. I'm one of those eurotrash types who lives in a (still) democratic country. Unfortunately you USians are doing your damnest to destroy what's left of democracy all over the world. But I digress. It's a long standing tradition in your mighty country to buy your way into politics. Show me a politician not backed up by some lobby group (BTW nice euphemism for bribery) founded by some corporation. I'm not talking here about some obscure name from some obscure state but the ones from the federal level. Can you?
Dear DRJlaw, We hereby inform you that Windows Insider version of our software is what the outside world calls alpha version. First release version of our software is the beta stage.

Meanwhile your cut off from a significant portion of society. You can bitch & moan all you want that those folks are sheeple but it doesn't change the practical reality of the situation.
That's because, from Google's perspective, you have to read that line: "not our injectors, not our hijackers, not our system utilities, not our anti-virus, and other brands." Fixed it for you.
If the requirement of the app is to properly and fully delete messages, it is the responsibility of the programmer who implements that requirement to assure the requirement is satisfied.
Ergo, the requirement was to keep the messages while telling the user they were deleted. Who would have thought?
Pool of experts? Like politicians? Or reknown scientists? Or the bunch of 'experts' that keep popping on TV explaining how we should understand what's happening? How about a panel of Nobel Peace Prize winners like Obama, Arafat, Rabin? Do elaborate, please.
probably would've gotten the state legislature to outlaw it.
False. What telecoms — correctly — object to, are efforts by local governments to compete with them. Private businesses, individuals, or non-profits are fine...
As long as the private businesses are part of the cartel.
A SWAT team waiting for your call? Some gunships over the horizon? Your buddy with more beer? Oh, wait, you mean that thingie my IT friend keeps pestering me about? I was just going to do that, right before this disaster. I swear!
A telephone is a totally inappropriate medium for resolving technical support issues. Most intelligent customers are aware of that, and use email, web resources, or, as a last resort, text chat.
OK, your internet is down. How do you contact tech support? Smoke signs? Travelling pigeons? Idiot!
WTF is this trend of 'consuming' everything? I watch a video/movie, listen to a song/speech or read a text. I don't fucking consume it, it's still there. Oh, wait, you are in marketing/ad business, right?
Let's see: walk/drive/ride to a harbour. Row/charter/buy cabin on a ship. Problem solved. The Constitution doesn't guarantee your right to use the fastest mean of travel.

And who controls the government in the US? That's right, the corporations. Case closed.
Aha, features like no boot unloking, no rooting, no adblocking, no means to block tracking.
Yea, cause Microsoft should own one if of possible USB device that could be plugged in.
They are called edge-cases for a reason.
Kindle edge-case? Shirley you must be joking.

No amount of user education over the past few decades has stopped users making Brain dead choices.
Umm, we kinda knew that. Just look at the number of win10 installs.

Oppressive regimes? That's funyy, last I looked, US and UK were champions when trying to track every user accessing the net.
Back then planned obsolescence wasn't baked into every product.

No, not betters, just somebody else. That's the whole point of western education: don't bother your little heads, just let us tell you what to think.
Ever heard of Selfdestructing cookies?
Politicians, as it's clear you're talking about them.
