You've thrown out two, new arguments: 1. "Nobody playing this game is important enough to be spied upon." It might surprise you to learn that some people in the military, congress, the DoD, and even important individuals in s

Your argument boils down to, "If one country has access, then every country should have access." I don't agree with that. It's clear the US has backdoors. That doesn't mean it's wise to invite China to add back

This is being downvoted, but this is an important point. The Chinese government has repeatedly shown they'll work with Chinese companies to carry out the government's agenda. Do you really think that after 100M people install this

I was bit by this. Spent _hours_ on the phone with Apple support. They couldn't let me back in, and I was locked out for a week. They escalated to tier 2, then to engineering. It's really disappointing this wasn't fixed.

With a locked down OS where you can only use Safari and devs pay Apple a 30% cut on every sale. Not the future I'm looking for, thank you very much.

Your comment is unfair. I've been programming for more than 20 years. I've learned many languages including C, Objective C, Java, Python, Ruby, JS, and some Haskell. I've never worked at Google. Go is my favorite language of

They knew about a vulnerability for MONTHS. They did not fix it and kept it secret. It only came out because of a whistleblower. This is not the behavior of an organization deserving ANY level of trust.

This change will prevent us from using a large number of open source apps, effectively locking us into Google's own tools. My org will be eyeing alternatives when this rolls out.

Last time this was presented Mozilla mentioned a partnership with ProtonVPN. To any Mozillians reading this, what was the reason for the switch to Mullvad? Also will we be able to use our own standard Wireguard clients to connect?
