If they have the MAC of any ethernet device that I own, then there is something seriously wrong with the public Internet that needs to be fixed immediately -- either that or everyone has out-and-out spyware on their computers and devices. Beyond your local network no one should have your MAC.
If more people supported it over time it would get 'less awful'. As is you're all going to be paying cash out of pocket every month for basically the same thing. You may as well just give up and carry your own music and forget all about the rest.
Well I dunno about where you live but it's not anywhere near that bad where I am, and furthermore it's not really any different than it's been for the last 20 years at least. You hop around stations when there's commercials just like always, they don't all always line up. It's fine for free.
It can't and won't. First of all, nothing we have currently is actually 'artificial intelligence', it's 'pseudo-intelligence' at best. Secondly, as you say, we humans can't even reach a consensus as to what is and is not 'hate speech', therefore how could even a full-on AI, conscious, fully self-aware, with human-level-or-better cognitive capabilities decide that something is or is not 'hate speech'? Such an artificial being would, more likely than not, just shake it's digital head, sadly, and mutter "Humans..", then counsel us to get over ourselves.
I think what we should do instead of censoring speech, we should censure people who say shitty, destructive things. Say whatever you want, but you'd better damned well be ready to stand behind it, or maybe you shouldn't be saying it in the first place.
..because all social media is cancerous. Late-stage symptoms of the disease include incessant attention-whoring and rampant social justice warrior behavioural patterns. Early detection of the disease is key in it's treatment, which involves router-level blocking, behavioral therapy by way of closely-monitored internet usage, and in some extreme cases, a pair of wirecutters to the ethernet cable.
Support FM broadcast radio which has always been free (and I don't want to hear anyone say "oh but it's not free there are commercials!", stop whining and turn down the damned volume or switch to another station if you can't handle it).
From what I've seen, it seems like at least half of all the 'content' on YouTube is "Look at me, look at meeeeeeeee!!!!!1!" sort of junk. Framing it like that, it's no wonder I've never spent more than maybe 20 minutes there in the last 10 years.
The country is reportedly "scanning the fingerprints, eyes and faces of its 1.3 billion residents (alternative source) and connecting the data to everything from welfare benefits to mobile phones."
Try reading at least the headline before shooting your mouth off, idiot.
Ah I see, 'one bad apple ruins the whole bushel', is that it? One person in 1,000,000 doesn't follow the rules, so everyone then gets to be treated like a convict?
Oh and of course people who think like you, when this comes to your country, will be shocked and appalled when they're required to be subjected to it, because you somehow magically think you'll be exempted from it, like you're special or something. Well guess what? You'll be treated like a convict or an animal in a zoo like everyone else, and you'll be threatened with actual prison if you don't submit to it. Enjoy being under a microscope the rest of your life. Be sure to keep chanting "I've done nothing wrong therefore I have nothing to fear" to get yourself to sleep at night, knowing full well every single move you make from that point forward will be tracked, logged, and judged, because that's the world you'll be living in. That is why this needs to never happen in India, if it's 'successful' there then other countries will want to do it, too.
Before too long they'll be convincing you that you don't ever NEED to 'install' Linux standalone. Once they accomplish that, Microsoft hegemony will be complete; they will OWN everything.
I'm laughing at all of you who stored your entire lives on Facebook, and now are pwned by these 'companies', and by Putin. Between this and the Equifax breach, your lives are about as safe and private as a convict in prison or an animal in a zoo, and it doesn't look like there's any recovery from it for you. Sad, sad, sad.
Many of you know of these places. I've been seeing it and saying it for years now: electronics, as the hobby it once was, is dying out. If you'd never been to Mike Quinn Electronics, back in the day, you missed out: quonset hut after quonset hut full of surplus electronics, and interesting tech in general. Even places as pedestrian as Radio Shack don't exist anymore.:-(
Yeah, mod you all the way up, first thing that occurred to me. This will be used by law enforcement, and there will be Supreme Court challenges to it's use, as it would violate someone's 5th Amendment rights, I believe. Of course all of this is assuming the device actually works as advertised, with accuracy, and isn't just a bunch of overhyped or fake tech.
I got a five-dollar bill that says when this 'Trump administration' farce is finally over and done with, perhaps after he's dead, his kids come out with tell-all books describing what an abusive parent he was. Got another five bucks that says he sexually abused his own daughter.

They're not supposed to do that!

You're exagerating and you're also not factual. I listen to the radio all the time when I'm driving and it's nowhere near as bad as you're claiming.

Idiot.. What part of "(all) 1.3 BILLION" do you not understand?
..and up in NorCal, Marvacs, Zack's, and a bunch of other walk-in stores that I can't even remember the names of anymore. :-(

About the best you can do to frustrate their data-collection methods.
More likely than not.

But how many people can discipline their thoughts that way, especially if they're being interrogated relentlessly for hours?

Horrifyingly wrong.
Not a future I'd want any part of.
I wish the Indian opponents of this the best of luck stopping it.

You're a fucking idiot.
Low-quality bait
Lurk more. xD

Having to deal with too many other humans seems to be what causes mental illness, if the news of the past few years is any indicator.
