No conspiracy needed; Any thread with more comments than upvotes gets down-ranked by the flame war detector. Happens all the time, for good reasons.

A big green "AGREE ALL" button is explicitly non-compliant, though. In theory one could preemptively block all consent popups and requests and continue to surf the website without being tracked, if the GDPR had any teeth.

What do you want them to do about that? The vast majority of those popups are already illegal according to GDPR. More legislation wouldn't fix that, I think.

Actions are bad because of their nature, not because of how they are reasoned for. And any given reason can be used to justify bad or good actions; that doesn't taint the reasoning. That is to say, judging an action solely by its reaso

HN has a decent amount of nut jobs (of all kinds) on it. I don't think it correlates much with intelligence.

But the message isn't being sent anywhere. The parental notification stuff doesn't do that. And obviously both the sender and receiver software processes the unencrypted messages in a variety of ways.

The tying claim eventually got dropped from the case, though, since the govt couldn't prove that the harm to competition outweighed the benefits of having a browser built in to the OS.

I don't think the metabolic impact of a starvation diet (only getting less than 1000 kcal while expending 3009 kcal, that's a 2000kcal difference!) can be compared with a normal weight loss diet, e.g. net negative of ~500kcal.

This thread is about iMessage, and the sub headline you quoted is about CSAM scanning that only concerns iCloud Photo Library.

by tpush 5y ago
That is the CSAM iCloud photo stuff; iMessage has nothing to do with that.

by tpush 5y ago
No copies of any iMessages get automatically forwarded to anywhere. The iMessage stuff is not the same as the CSAM scanning iCloud photo stuff.

I doesn't do that with sexually explicit images on iMessage either.

[...] they might legally be required to (IANAL). They're only obligated to report if found, but they don't have to proactively scan (yet?). In the EU until recently they weren't even allowed to voluntarily scan.
