Do you seriously think that any of the widespread modern smartphones don't have far, FAR better ways of spying on you if they wanted to then proxy-browser?
Dementia must have settled in for you. Ashas are sold in third world countries, where costs of netowork traffic over 3G are still extremely high in relation to median income.
First world has indeed mostly moved on. Third world hasn't even started yet.
They don't just tell you - they advertise it. It's one of the phones biggest selling features.
The issue in countries where the phone is sold is network traffic. It's costly. VERY costly. This browser does what opera mini did for about a decade - it works through nokia's special proxy that fetches the page for you, renders it in unique way that saves a lot of traffic and then sends it to your phone's browser.
Not so much about cheap labour as it is about less stringent environmental standards. The biggest cost of rare earth mining is keeping it as clean as regulations require and China has large areas which are completely and utterly poisoned by rare earth mining.
That's in fact one of the reasons (and the main official reason) why China is currently restricting rare earth exports. Mining and refining rare earths is a very toxic process.
Yup. As said, they handled it badly. However, as is the case nowadays after it's online, victim is pretty much boned. There are few if any ways to find out who actually posted it and it's not like it will be taken down unless there's a real uproar for some reason, like if the victim commits suicide because of it and media chooses to pick up that as a story.
Your story bears eerie resemblance to a family member of a friend who got raped.
She was utterly terrified of all men for years, to the point of not being able to get of the house. I remember her leaving the room whenever I came to visit the friend looking at me like I'm a monster.
Except that this wasn't about the police mistreating the person being arrested. This was about police officer trying to protect the person being arrested from having video of him being arrested be publicized.
Seriously, why bring up "police brutality" in the case where there was none?
Correct. Hence my "they behaved badly in this case" statement.
Another point made however was that police did in fact think that guy photographing the person being restrained during his episode was violating privacy of that person. Not the police - the person having the episode.
They were wrong. But everyone here is screaming about "shitty police suppressing the truth about their terrible behaviour" and that's just clearly not the case here.
You had one really bad experience with one police officer as stated in another part of this thread, and now you're clearly projecting this experience on all people who share the profession.
Notably, I can find a person with very bad experiences about any profession. Does that mean that no person holding any profession at all is trustworthy?
You've never seen a person having a severe nervous breakdown in your life?
Police officers deal with those types on weekly basis in most places. They're one of the "returning customer" types for them. They really don't require any "special training" to spot. Just being a person with average observation skills and reasonable amount of common sense is enough.
It also didn't stop any of the serial killers or terrorists. I think you have much bigger worries then someone hacking your https connection if that is your measurement stick.
Let's just add murder (she killed freedom), perverted sex acts (that phone has vibration mode, clearly she played with it) and sodomy (because all cops love sodomizing innocent people, and she probably did it with that very phone).
Because you know, why stop at imaginary theft, or calling every police officer everywhere a natural born liar.

Okay, so we were talking about apples, and suddenly you decided to start talking about... tractors?
Intriguing.

Yes? Unless you're a tinfoil hat type, you likely know that this has been done for about a decade by opera.
I used to use opera mini ages ago on my old symbian phone. It's a really nice tool to save network traffic costs.
At which point customers will have problems beyond the scope of the issue at hand. Far beyond.

Political interest is also about not having to restart highly toxic rare earth mining at home with all the consequences that it brings.

Does that really make me a rapist though?
People who actually have been victims of cyber bullying, as well as their families would like to have a word with you I imagine.
Except that this wasn't about the police mistreating the person being arrested. This was about police officer trying to protect the person being arrested from having video of him being arrested be publicized.
Seriously, why bring up "police brutality" in the case where there was none?
You also thought that police officer in question was a "he". Or that police routinely beat up people for fun.
Correct. Hence my "they behaved badly in this case" statement.
Another point made however was that police did in fact think that guy photographing the person being restrained during his episode was violating privacy of that person. Not the police - the person having the episode.

Whoosh.
Are you familiar with concept of "projection"?
You had one really bad experience with one police officer as stated in another part of this thread, and now you're clearly projecting this experience on all people who share the profession.

Opera has the same giant virtual lobby for about a decade. Holy shit, they must have caused the credit crunch!

Mostly, yes. Many East-Asian states have similar cultural quirks, but Japan is by far the most pronounced.
Obeying the authority is very deeply ingrained in their culture.
It also didn't stop any of the serial killers or terrorists. I think you have much bigger worries then someone hacking your https connection if that is your measurement stick.
Sounds like a terrible experience, and all I can say is that I'm lucky to never have run into that particular individual.
Are you suggesting it's not a factor at all?
Let's just add murder (she killed freedom), perverted sex acts (that phone has vibration mode, clearly she played with it) and sodomy (because all cops love sodomizing innocent people, and she probably did it with that very phone).
Because you know, why stop at imaginary theft, or calling every police officer everywhere a natural born liar.
I'm sorry, did you just call police officer explaining her reasons "hypothetical"?
Do you even know what that word means?
Prison sentence.
