The lesson here is to never provide small shovels to fishes

Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem blaming both Apple and Microsoft. Corporations are not my friends 😁

tldr: if Apple does something bad, blame Microsoft?

It is too much pressure for Reddit to have this many users. They’re doing their best to get rid of them. It’s just too much to handle… Poor Reddit

To top up your comment, you can get the permissions required for each extension in Firefox for Android. Extension Manager --> click the extension --> Permissions

In the case of this specific extension, it requires access to the data of only 3 domains :

• youtube.com
• youtube-nocookie.com
• vimeo.com

Many other extensions are far worst in regards to permissions that this one.

It is a good habit to check what are the permissions required before using any extension or phone apps for that matter.

Thanks for the reminder!

I see you point and I agree. It’s not all black and white.

I don’t pretend to know the solution to this dilemma but hopefully this whole sad situation might trigger the conversation towards one.

Penguinz0 just released a video about it and I have to admit that the character.ai AI are disturbingly convincing. They keep arguing they are real persons and, for vulnerable peole, you can get lost.

Definitely some gross negligence from the AI platform here in my honest opinion. It’s easy to put some guardrails when you make a chatbot, but they didn’t.

Btw, you don’t know what the parents did and did not to help their son. I don’t know either. So it’s better to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Edit: I’m not an American and I would never understand why anyone would own guns.

I’m pretty sure it is actually the fastest chimney construction ever!

See?! It even forms a dust cloud around the workers because they work so fast!

I might be wrong but the fact that they enable the option by default to everyone (but EU it seems) allow themselves to collect all the posts you already made right away.

Turning it off will only prevent them from using your future posts.

So they already have trained their AI with your data. They certainly won’t “untrain” it after you switch the option off. You can’t unring that bell…

All companies are using this scumbag approach to get your data: auto opt-in everyone, get all existing data then give the illusion that you can opt-out with a useless option.

I hate this

I guess Revanced would eventually have a patch to skip this check. It can already spoof the client and such, why not this as well. I hope so

Yes you must obey the law

There’s no shame in highlighting what went right and still acknowledging what went terribly wrong.

Censoring the latter prevents improvements. No need for fanboyism.

And they coordinated everything with those in Ontario…

Bizarre j’ai jamais entendu ça…
