Comment Security LOL !!! (Score 4, Insightful) 100

It's funny that the camera protects data on device by encryption, but also keeps a copy of the private key there. You only need the public key to encrypt. The private key is supposed to be kept in their infrastructure for decryption when needed. I guess they've never heard of physical security.

If they want the existing vehicles to work with the features they weren't designed with, all they have to do is make those devices as add-on and plug into the car via aux power, communicated via bluetooth. From an implementation point of view, it's easy. I'm sure they've thought about this.

Teens definitely affected on a massive scale like the article said. But, admittedly, I'm being affected too. I find myself attracted to an endless feed of garbage videos, most of which deliberately got misinformation clickbait. Multiple times I realize that I've spent too much time on the most useless thing of using the phone, I stopped, then found myself at it again. HELP!!!

Anyone who votes against it is going to get a bunch of ads about how they put children in danger dun dun duuuun

That's actually so true. Those bastards, regardless if they voted for or against, they just want a piece of their opponent's blood. They don't really give a shit about the subjects that were supposed to be protected by those laws.

the signal identifies one of four age ranges: under 13, 13 through 15, 16 through 17, or 18 and older

This is still not good enough, it's actually gonna make things worse
The app is supposed to be rated with age that it's appropriate for. Then it can only get ONE signal: Yes or No on the age check. Revealing something like 16-17 still becomes someone's target, and God forbids if they decide to do something with that. It's even MORE dangerous than without age check because they'd have no clue how old a user is and may have to refrain due to that uncertainty.

Their political decision gets the attention, but it doesn't change the fact that their product quality sucks. After the hyper dies down, it goes back to what people need. We can't even change miles to km, no street views, low accuracy. They've done little to improve their service really.

Services to be paid at different tiers... there's no reason to force the "equality" for everyone. Just like cars, TVs, homes, everything else. People buy products and services according to their budget. This is similar to forcing carmakers to make luxury cars for everyone, but they won't buy it. People in remote areas would rather tether off their phone and still be better than paying for a crap load of money just to get 1Gbps internet.
