- blamazon 4y agoImagine you want to invite a lot of people you don't know, to a protest. This is generally really difficult to do in China without being spotted for re-education. In contrast, Airdrop was previously a good way to do this discreetly. Now it's useless. That is censorship.
- dymk 4y agoDoesn’t seem useless, seems like a good way to make sure people aren’t broadcasting PII by default if they leave “everybody” on.
- blamazon 4y agoIf it's an unalloyed good, why implement only in China right after protests arranged by airdrop?
- andromeduck 4y agoYour phone is always brodcasting PII when the goverment has unfettered access to cell logs.
