Does this mean Apple was keeping copies of photos you (thought you) deleted?

Are these provided to law enforcement by subpoena?

Did a subtle whistleblower introduce a subtle bug?

Wild possibilities to consider.

Cloud-mandatory devices are hard to even contemplate. Convenience, I guess.

Citizens United was evil and intentional. The bulk of Democrats are at best corporate cucks, and some of them are solidly fascist. There's nothing left about them.
This old chestnut. Without eviscerating the first amendment, precisely how does one rule on Citizen's United? B/c if you want to go back to the good ol' days we are at the mercy of the 6 mega corps who own all the newspapers and television stations. Do you want them deciding what political speech is acceptable in the last 30 days before an election? Additionally, authoritarians of any stripe are bad, why do you people seem to long for left wing leaning ones? Are you that eager for gulags and breadlines or are you genuinely ignorant of most of 20th century history? The Soviet experiment had just as bad an outcome as the Italian one.

"Whatever else, just make sure lawyers can fatten their pockets suing these trillion dollar companies."

The "2nd Amendment Solution" brigade is too cheap to actually use their guns and too chickenshit to get up and do anything even if they were given free gear. They'd rather sit around and fantasize that John Wayne will rise from the dead to lead Rambo and the A-Team on a mission to overthrow the "corrupt government" to install their Dear Leader and create their utopia for them. They're cordially invited to prove me wrong.
insert Navy Seal meme post here. Considering how utterly traumatized Washington DC was after Jan 6th(when virtually no one was armed), I doubt it would take that much. But be careful what you wish for anonymous tough guy on the internet, you probably won't enjoy it when you get it.

It is a major factor behind the crap on social media. If people had to post under their real names, the quality of discourse would improve. While I'm at it, they should also prohibit free accounts for social media sites with more than 500K users. Force 'em to charge $3/month or something; in return, prohibit them from selling user data or advertising to users. This would also eliminate bots because the economics would no longer make sense. None of this will happen, of course, because the social media incumbents are not unhappy with how things are.
Good lord, is Nikki Haley moderating /. now? To all the silly geese living in America who hate anonymous online speech, please acquaint yourself with the history of the American Revolution and the anonymous pamphleteers' contributions therein.

Science has been very successful, so its parasite load is now unsustainably high.

The government has blood on its hands too

> ItÃ(TM)s very simple. If you hold tech companies legally responsible for the content their users produce, they will *shut down* the ability

Why do you think Big Tech would /evaluate/ that legal liability for user content would be their recommendation?

I mean, that would force decentralized social media eventually but I can't see Big Tech's evaluation being that a loss of their business
would be the best course.

```
It would require Big Tech companies to work with Congress for 18 months to "evaluate and enact a new legal framework that will allow for free speech and innovation while also encouraging these companies to be good stewards of their platforms"

LineageOS or CalyxOS. If you're not running a custom ROM it ain't your phone.

Do you think when they say it runs entirely on - device this is a blatant lie?

Do you think this is a different problem than the current Pixel dialer?

And what are the odds that a child of "someone important" will be out on the street to be hit and killed?

Remember, while the injuries were made more severe, the person in this survived.

Death rate is remarkably low for these. Regular human drivers kill more on average. Remember, a human was the primary cause of this accident as well.

It depends a LOT on your story, but there's every possibility that you'd get by with an excuse of "I didn't know she was stuck under my car, and I was trying to move to safety". It's not like YOU know how somebody under your car would change the handling, right?

In this case, though, it looks like the corporation didn't cooperate well enough, which caused issues.

I think that right now, "Shit happened, we didn't expect this, we're adjusting the programming to take this into account." should work for most things.
1. This is what happened. Include a "why" in the programming if you can
2. Own the responsibility. Pay damages if necessary.
3. Specify that you're working on an engineering fix. If necessary, point out that its' a "hard problem" and may take some time. Actually work on said fix.

Do you know what "lambast" and "scathing" means? They might be a paid fixer, as in "fix the problem", but they don't seem to be much of a shill, given that their report led to many resignations and such for the company. Their reporting was very negative - even if they couldn't necessarily say some things were actually deliberate or not.
