In any case, if it's true, it means none of the companies that crack this stuff bothered with lockdown mode, so now they will and it will be cracked soon enough.

They don't lack any money to pay to multiple people. This is just a scam and as always,there's lots of money involved, they get paid by the "AI" people. The "AI" people promote themselves (and bad publicity is still publicity), everyone wins, except the players and the viewers.

If men can get pregnant, the official cryptid can be Bigfoot, it's all good. Now that they don't have as much power, this is how the lying lowlifes can express their utter and total depravity. In the meantime, trillions more of their illegitimate dollars will be taken away from them.

all this means to me is that third parties WERE "reading your private message, or writing messages to your friends" WITH your permission, by which they mean some automatically marked checkbox or EULA that users "have agreed to" or some nonsense they made up which they claims counts as an agreement. And "not correct" (as opposed to "false", "wrong", "misleading") reinforces this.
