What’s the best procedure for getting data off a compromised iPhone before wiping? Plugging it into other devices via usb or backing up to iCloud seems sketchy to me but maybe I’m overly paranoid.

Yes. Everybody wants to believe in strong free will. Everybody. If you accept that one group isn’t entirely culpable for their actions than other groups will get the same treatment (kkk, date rapists, capitol protestors, etc…) Until we can

“I'm sure the US is guilty too” I’m tired of this assumption being treated as intellectually valid. Where is the proof? Maybe we did stuxnet, but that’s a far cry from solarwinds and other high profile incidents (OPM) that hurt innocen

Well there’s the Streisand effect so this will actually help them more than it hurts. Everybody already hates YouTube, now skynews will get a bump from those who seek out censored books and media. Such people exist. Deplatforming works as w

It’s funny to think of those who would oppose it. There are actually many, like the poster who is concerned about biodegradability. It can’t sequester carbon if it also biodegrades. “Split wood, not atoms!”

Much better: bots insert fake responses that are calming and neutral. If you want to tailor/manage discussions (manipulate might be a better word), it seems like adding to the discussion is far better than censorship (or rate limiting

Your information is not current as of yesterday evening. Of course the most current information is less reliable as is always the case with emerging information. The vaccines efficacy may be waning for protection from severe covid. Of cours
