Indonesia and the Philippines, probably.

The thing is, nobody needs to (or wants to) actually move to India to take their jobs, so they won't need to bother scamming for visas.

You're right, photographs shouldn't be copyrightable either.

Same here. I'm not sure why they can't have a bit more of a sophisticated network filter. If they're worried about bots, show me a captcha or something.

Cool story but I don't see how this is any different. In the real world you're less anonymous than you think, but people just don't care who you are. At least on Discord you can maintain an anonymous persona. If you're really worried, don't use the same account for your different activities.

In public, you really should assume you're being recorded at any time, regardless of whether someone posted a sign that says "no recording."

As an AWS administrator, it's kind of fun actually.

As usual, you can't trust any press release that comes out of China, so this article means nothing.
