- dragonwriter 7y agoThis makes, and implies, no claims about “probable cause”, and isn't about criminal process where “probable cause” would even be relevant, it's about security policy where personal rights are not involved, only private discretionary benefits. It is often entirely appropriate in such a content to apply heuristics which are effective because they minimize false negatives even when they might have a high false positive rate.
- a1369209993 7y agoFair enough about the phrasing, although madamelic is the one who brought criminal process into it. The sentiment is "and therefore we can discriminate against people who use user-agents[0] that don't actively help us violate their privacy rights". 0: such as screen readers, for that zesty ADA-lawsuit flavour.
