I don’t think that’s what the issue with those slogans is. People aren’t debating whether “protesting for genocide” is ok or not. I think an overwhelming majority would agree that public demonstrations calling for genocide support aren’t ok

That’s good to know, thanks for clarifying. I am not from EU, so I was mostly going off the comment in this thread that was lamenting how “terrible” employment in the US due to employees being easily fireable for watching porn on employer-p

The only difference between a regular OTA update and this one is that you will also get a letter in your mailbox notifying you of this. If you miss that letter in the mail or don’t read patchnotes, this recall OTA update will get autoinstal

Yes, I am aware. I have no issues with using the word “recall” for this either, as long as it is clarified that it is resolved through OTA and doesn’t require a drive to a dealership. And that’s because most people have no idea that recalls

Exactly my point, yeah. Apple adding this feature wouldn’t do much to how easy it is for law enforcement to access your device (once they have physical access). Because it is already not that difficult for them.
