If that is the case, why did they remove this statement? It seems to me that if the statement remained true even though this guy got arrested, it would be true under the "by default" clause. By removing it, they indicate it was never true; or, I suppose, they discovered just how fun it is to get people arrested, and decided to change their policy on the fly!
I was even considering switching to them...
- Sebb767 5y agoThey clearly changed it because of the amount of backlash they got and because so many people called that statement deceptive. Just because it's true doesn't mean it's smart to say it and them removing the statement is absolutely reasonable.
- pera 5y ago> If that is the case, why did they remove this statement? As far as I understand according to several comments I read here in HN "99%" of the people don't understand what "by default" means, making the sentence misleading for most.
- ipaddr 5y agoMost were falling for the trickey in wording and they are mad. Throwing in a word like default changes the entire meaning. Instead of we don't log anything* * we log only when requested They should say your ip can be logged. It's like saying in big headline. No meat burgers * * meat means carots
