I would argue that claim (if not complete bullshit) said infinitely more about them, their family and friends. You are taking “these people owning an iphone are psychopaths” as “all people owning an iphone are psychopaths”. This candy fell

I’d add that photo and video sharing might not be free as even today it depends on your carrier plan. … So it’s an extremely useful signal to tell you to use a different messaging app with this person. Glad we sorted that out!

It’s completely our right to send those packets, but that fact is completely disconnected to anything anyone is talking about here. Because it’s also their right not to respond to those packets?

Do we know that beeper wasn’t cut off by e.g. an automated spam algorithm? I saw lots of technical discussion in previous threads that stated that they were using the same faked hardware ID for all messages… that would seem an obvious red f

I think you are mixing up what you are calling “the party line” with a mixture of - people cheering for the world they want (EU yet again forces a US company to change behaviour), and people who view the chances of this (at best interpretat

US? When has that ever happened in the last 30 years? I’d buy the EU stepping in to mandate interoperability though. I’d welcome that! But… shouldn’t mostly everyone here view needing the EU to force the behaviour of a US company kind of ag

It isn’t anti-freedom and pro-proprietary to have a view on what you think the law says and what you think Apple’s right to respond is. The original kid who reversed: Great hacking, I think we can all applaud. This is a for-profit (VC funde

He's essentially the chief one. Believes so hard that tried to erase any evidence of the logic in order to save the hypothetical future lives from being tortured.

Perhaps it's uncharitably deserved, but doesn't he have a reputation for explicitly rejecting learning things he didn't himself "reason from first principles" and thus has some... uniquely interesting views?

It’s hypocrisy and double standards to follow the law? You say “Shadow law” as though it’s them being nefarious. I don’t know anyone who interprets Apple’s stance on Privacy as “They will break the law for you”, only in contrast to… everyon
