What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

Yes, there are IOS drones (the walking dead) who have never seen anything that isn't distributed on iTunes. That doesn't mean you have to cater to them.
Or the car. Or just walking down the street, or waiting in line, or in the dentist's lobby. Pull it out and watch some Firefly, even. VLC has picture-in-picture, so I can use my phone while I do.
My first flip phone needed one of those 2.5mm lines to allow me to enjoy mp3s and watch Invader Zim avis on a tiny screen. I was delighted when my blackberry perl had a 3.5mm, everyone was when phones finally started allowing ordinary headphones.

He'll hire a couple of his mates alright - to handle anything that might defy his... exclusivity. A word I am not using with the praiseful tone you did.
That's probably all it does. An access token at best, yes, and even that is doubtful since it's meant to send your phone to promotional material. Which, judging how see socnet users froth over cinema adverts (aka trailers), is a smart move for Adidas.
I understand you needed a requisite amount of verbiage, a critical mass to imply a list. Unfortunately, all the overreaching ultimately causes the tirade to gut itself.
Except for the "masturbating homeless" it sounded like you wanted to describe Dracula's Manor. Which, if abandoned, probably would attract vagrants actually.
And if they're the only price for everything I see described in other posts, I will defend the American library for years yet.

I imagine their values resemble the obnoxious shouty types of past centuries, printing newsletters in basements and crowing about freedom of press.
Today, I hear they do shit like run public TOR nodes. Tomorrow, they'll probably be defending the only non-proprietary options for using technologies X, Y, and Z. Maybe car AI. Maybe virtual reality. Maybe some cloud-IOT shit. I have a thin understanding of who Librarians are, but I like what I've heard. You'll need more than "ugh, there's undesirables in there" to turn my favor.

"I feel violated" "I'm embarrassed"
Then boy do you have a lot of on-going behaviors to correct.
I'm all for people abandoning facebook, especially the type in question (ie parrots inside echochambers).
I'm aware that censorship is a broadly-applicable word. It applies even to private platforms muting "hatespeech". Legal censorship is a thing. You can censor whatever you want, you don't even have to adhere to any concrete standards, you can do fuckall. That tends to contradict the noble posturing usually found nearby, however.
Anyway I'll happily swing the word around. But it doesn't belong here. This is a fucking FW tag. Nothing removed or prevented.
FW:FWD:FW:RE:FW:funny read to the end!! isn't censored. Though it probably will be if you post it anywhere intelligent.
What are you upset about? Those are already protected.
"Nazism" beliefs and speech aren't illegal, and if a platform wants to claim they don't inject their opinions into their forum, they too are obligated against performing legal censorship (which is a thing, yes). Private platforms aren't obligated to make that first claim, of course. They just tend like the traffic that it (or more easily, an inconsistent illusion of it) brings.
"Child porn" that is speech-related (which is the only context pertinent to our speech discussion under a speech-related article) obviously means protected artistic renditions and such. Because your "basically included", a declaration of legal scope, doesn't include porn manufactured by illegally exploiting a child, nor illegal Nazi actions.
Though it's honestly impossible to frame an appreciable context in the mind at those magnitudes, at least "e34" requires less time to make an abstract one.
Those who can't think logarithmically at all are welcome to continue saying Jillions.

Human callers will issue their confused "Hello?" calls into the void, identifying themselves as authentic.
Software could easily note speech on the other end, note an unexpected mid-call termination (you hung up) marking your number as a legitimate (and more importantly, active) data point. This is valuable information internally, maybe even enough to sell.
Even a voice synth "Hello." isn't that hard to identify. Answer muted, put the phone away, let the robot rant until it hangs up.
Which, we could have a conversation about how we call dibs on land, but for now (rightly, some would argue) it's a tangible.
Being an originator isn't. There's no way to pass on "inventor of the sword" to an arbitrary recipient, who somehow becomes the mind-behind and worth recognition (ie in the form of compensation for their conceptual provision)
This is what gets me. Heirs are a mental construct, cultural. They can be arbitrarily picked/removed. There's no implicit connection for passing down stuff, except the simple idea of giving it to whoever you like.
Which is fine for property. And while imaginary property has that in the name, it's not a possession, it's the recognition of a source, it's the acknowledgement of someone who sired a creation, that an epic storyteller put together a mental feast of worldbuilding or whatever.
It makes sense to honor (ie pay) Tolkien on a philosophical level. "The father of XYZ." Because on a logistics level, he's entitled to nothing for "creating" an imaginary thought with no real-world value, albeit beautiful.
His grandson fits neither level. Whatever is being "passed on" (more usually it's bought) is a cardboard stand propped up by publishers and lawyers - there's no such thing. You don't "pass on" being the father of middle-earth. Bobby had nothing to do with it.

Answer your phone with a muted microphone.

Software could easily note speech on the other end, note an unexpected mid-call termination (you hung up) marking your number as a legitimate (and more importantly, active) data point. This is valuable information internally, maybe even enough to sell.
Even a voice synth "Hello." isn't that hard to identify. Answer muted, put the phone away, let the robot rant until it hangs up.
