You’re actually just outright accusing them of lying.
- djrogers 6y agoDo you see those question marks? Those denote questions. Questions are not accusations.
- wizzwizz4 6y agoTell that to Socrates.
- itsananderson 6y agoHave you stopped beating your wife? Edit: this is the typical example of a loaded question, not an actual accusation against the parent comment https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loaded_question https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loaded_question
- jameshart 6y agoReally? never? So when did you stop beating your wife?
- II2II 6y agoI understand the point you are trying to make, with the question incorporating an accusation (i.e. that the person beat their wife in the past). That is different from asking pointed questions about potential actions (e.g. "have you ever beat your wife?").
- Quarrelsome 6y agooutright is literal, this isn't outright its just challenging their answer and its journalistically a good sequence of questions. You need to be able to tell the good from the bad and IMO you're wearing these trousers the wrong way round.
- Nextgrid 6y agoConsidering companies have lied before when it comes to privacy & ad tracking (see Facebook's "promise" of not using 2FA phone numbers for advertising purposes) his concerns are totally reasonable.
- slashink 6y agoI didn't interpret the comment as an acquisition to my original comment. It's good to ask the hard questions and even though I'm not able to answer it in detail I still think that 'tmpz22' brought up a good point in that data can be used for both good and bad at the same time.
