I think law enforcement should be able to intercept messages on services like WhatsApp, if someone is suspected of criminal activity.
Is it right for criminals to be able to share child abuse material, or plans for terrorism, over something like WhatsApp? Without law enforcement being able to intercept these messages?
I think law enforcement can break into your home if they have a court warrant, right? So why not allow the same thing with electronic communications?
No user of Reddit is powerless. Every single user of Reddit has the power to fuck with Reddit in whatever legal way they want, and they also they have the power to quit using Reddit.
Maybe they plan to park cars there.
Or maybe they just don’t like cutting the grass. Can’t blame them. I hate having to cut the grass all the time.
He’ll be remembered for breaking rules yes, but he won’t be remembered “as an innovator”.
It’s meant to be a decentralised version of Twitter. I think it was originally made by Twitter but is now a separate company.
But I don’t think it uses the ActivityPub protocol that Lemmy, Kbin, and Mastodon use, so it won’t be interoperable with them. Also, it’s invite-only for the moment. So if you want a decentralised Twitter-like experience right now, you could use Mastodon.
They might keep those users more engaged with this new app though. The Twitter format might be more successful for facilitating outrage and arguments than the Facebook format is.
And more engagement means more adverts shown and thus more revenue.
Well if only official Apple batteries will work, then that means Apple will jack up the price to something ridiculous, because they’ll be the only option for a battery.
So hopefully third party batteries would work as well. I think third party batteries work in iPhones at the moment. So if we’re able to install them much more easily then that would be very good.
Every country should do this. It’s just a shame we have to wait until 2027 to see these phones.
Maybe it’s worth having that security hole then. I think it’s a bit crazy that terrorists or child abusers can plan their crimes using WhatsApp without the police being able to intercept their messages.
Also, if we’re able to contact our banks over the internet securely (and obviously the bank can still see everything about our accounts if they want, while criminals hopefully won’t be able to), then surely an equivalent should be possible for things like WhatsApp.
