At the time of writing, it has only implicitly been mentioned in the comments here about the security risks this OS might have. We know that Google has a very close relationship to the US government w.r.t surveillance. Apple claims to be &q

After a certain amount of time I've stopped caring or even wanting to express any "moral outrage" at this situation. The users of Facebook have been given enough reminders to vote with their feet and move to other platforms t

Maybe someone familiar with securities law can chime in here. Isn't this something similar to insider trading? They provide a service that is supposed to improve some aspect of a business, then they can internally do predictions on how
