No it doesn't. The West’s authoritarians are falling over themselves to follow Russia and China’s lead when it comes to surveillance and oppression. And just like Putin, they claim it’s all about “extremism.”
Also, most people are simply choosing the cheapest shit they can find so there’s also no incentive to create anything of lasting build quality. Cheap, replaceable junk is the standard these days. It’s also how you satisfy Wall Streets’ demand for infinite growth.
And before you try to claim otherwise, said price fixing only stopped because anti-trust charges were brought against them not because they felt bad for what they did or a new competitor rose up.
How is it BS? Case in point, DRAM price fixing between 1998-2002 where 12 manufacturers colluded to raise prices and no one popped up like you claim to sell things at a lower price and “take the whole market.” And there are plenty of other examples of price-fixing cartels that saw no such competition.
They aren’t manipulating a data stream. They are throttling your connection speed which forces most streaming services to go to a lower quality stream. A VPN won’t do shit.
A security researcher was needed to know that if you give something camera access that it can use your camera to take pictures and video? Isn’t that the whole point of allowing an app access to the camera? What else did they think the permission granted?

The objective and fair reasoning is that it corrupts the electoral process such that only those with the most money get listened to.
No one is saying cobalt and nickel are minerals. The “minerals” being referenced is the ore they are extracted from. Pedant fail.
If content creators don's want people pirating their content they can make it more easily accessible.
Or you could just avoid their content if it’s not released under terms you agree with?
Except there are statistics to prove the claim.
They aren’t trying to stop. The banks and Wall Street are coopting the concept as a new avenue to bilk people of money.
Couldn’t you have tried a bit harder? Obvious trolling is obvious.
They commented on that by simply handwaving it away claiming you are holding it wrong.

Or you have more money than brains.
I would be surprised if they issued updates 2 years after the product first came out.
Ummm, what? Apple blows past that in preorders alone.

The deal was altered from the get go with these terms. This is Verizon. Their MO is to fuck you over for the most of money possible.
The “We swear it’s mostly, kinda sorta unlimited this time” plan.
The video streaming throttling was in from the beginning.
Do you stream music?
While it’s the background? Huh? To quote the summary:
the app can surreptitiously take pictures and videos of you as long as the app is in the foreground
Flip phones have both applications and cameras.
Why would they? The whole point of allowing the permission is to allow apps to use your camera.

Why go public? It’s so Shuttleworth can cash out.
