My thoughts exactly. With their closed source app running on the client, they can do literally anything with the plaintext before encrypting it. Be ready for an expansion of their fear-mongering ad campaigns about how anyone in your office

Two mistakes != Torture. You're obviously not arguing in good faith here.

Maybe you are being down voted because condescending remarks like this do more to turn people away from the cause?

Are you claiming that the ends can never justify the means? If not, then I don't see how their arguments would be inherently devoid of merit.

Following up with an argument full of terms like "many" and "can" is not enough to support an absolute claim in either direction.

What a ridiculous comparison. Let's stick to arguing in good faith, shall we?

Yeah, this behavior sounds a bit anti-user to me. The action pretty much boils down to, "Oh, you disabled Bluetooth and left it that way? Well, we know better so we're going to turn it back on without your knowledge or approval. Y

I'm no fan of Facebook but I have a hard time understanding why Facebook is singled out for this. If what FB did is illegal, then they can be charged for their crimes. However if we're critizing from purely a moral standpoint, how

Honestly that reads like a creative writing exercise given the amount of inaccuracies in that rose-colored description. I'd recommend anyone reading take that with a large grain of salt.
