Both Android and iOS opt in manually to those things. They also list them on the app store to avoid being surprised that the flashlight app records audio.

Assuming you buy a cheap Corolla that lasts 200k miles without major repairs you are looking at $0.125/mi, gas at $4/gal and 32mi/gal is the same putting you at $0.25/mi. Given Uber pays $0.63/mi you are giving up h

I don't know why everyone points to taking pictures and audio as scary on social media apps. The ability to record and post a video is effectively baseline functionality and requires those permissions. Certainly Meta is doing shady thi

Likely Rockstar would counter sue for violating their original Copyright and the terms of use attached to them. At best it would be a wash, there is a decent chance the damages for the countersuit would lead to a net loss.

Investors usually have terms which defines the contract you both agree to. Investments usually result in an ownership transfer though which doesn't have the same kind of hard stops necessarily.

Most Kickstarter backers out in $50 or less. The filing fee for small claims court is usually $20 and that assumes you live near each other. They are usually judgement proof but that isn't uncommon in other fields too.

You are entering a legally binding contract with the seller. They must oblige or else refund you. Now of course anyone with any smarts runs a Kickstarter through an LLC to avoid being liable but it isn't a completely free space. Think
