The fact that you, Jamie Quint (look at his nickname, it says that), a previous Senior Director of Monetization at Reddit (see his profile), answer being accused of a poor moral compass by insulting the person who did (calling them "dumb", and trying to belittle everything they have to say as "not important, unique, or interesting") shows that you in fact have what you've been accused of - not only by me but by the community of reddit as a whole:

A poor, or even no, moral compass.

I'd lean as far out of the windows to speculate that what has often been said about people in positions of power applies here:

Those positions attract people who are completely unable to perceive empathy, and who act solely out of the desire for power and narcissism.

It's a shame, you cause so much harm for society - and you probably are unable to even perceive the harm you're causing because your brain is just not wired to be capable of empathy.

If you want to do the world a favor, go read up what a psychopath is, and by that I do NOT mean to insult you, but rather the actual medical term "psychopath".

Ask yourself whether it applies to you, and learn to protect society from yourself if it does.

> In the before-times, [...]

You used to get full schematics along with the electronics you bought.

And by "get", I do NOT mean that you'd have to ask for them.

They'd be shipped WITH the products, on paper. It was a normal part of your purchase, just like the manual.

Please try imagining a society where everybody does the FULL extent of things which they can legally get away with.

Ask yourself whether that would be a place worth living in, or rather a hellscape.

So they can just change the ToS to say "Your full bank account balance belongs to Twitter after YYYY-MM-DD" ?

If someone created an account back when AI was not a thing, they did NOT consent to their data being used for AI:

You cannot expect people to retroactively consent to a thing the existence of which they were not even aware of when they gave consent for some limited OTHER use.

Besides, it's just rude to do things for which there was no consent in general, no matter whether it is AI or anything else. No consent is no consent.

Further, you can't expect people who have a life in general to sit around all day just waiting to figure out where they have to delete accounts before they are misused.

Bazillions of websites nowadays want you to create an account, the normal behavior is that users just abandon accounts which they don't need anymore. Nobody has the time to delete all of them.

Your profile says you were "Senior Director of Monetization at Reddit". Considering all the outrage that company has caused with its users as well (redesign cough cough - just one example out of a truckload), and that the outrage-causing things largely seemed to be aimed at monetization, perhaps you should do some soul seeking to figure out whether your values are aligned with common societal morals.

Or in other words: How many more people will you make angry until you realize that maybe you're the baddie?

- What is the black, solid round thing next to the rear cameras?

- There are no hardware kill switches to turn the microphone and cameras off, are there? So if you don't trust smartphones to not be compromised you must always assume you're being filmed and recorded. (Yes, I know I am paranoid, you don't have to punish me with downvotes for that please. Instead please spread positivity by upvoting other people's comments, the effect is almost the same :)

- The "hole punch" front camera makes it difficult to put e.g. duct tape over it to compensate for the lack of kill switches.
