FUD being so normalised in FOSS that we get titles like these, is counterproductive and inhumane.

Oh yeah, poor corporations, getting sued(!!) for deleting data after being asked by the user to delete it.

Beautifully crafted ragebait :D

I wish they prioritised the call app. It is beyond appalling. You can't even determine when a call happened, beyond the generic low fidelity "[time] ago". It also almost feels like tapping anything makes me accidentally call people. Abhorrent UI/UX to be completely honest.

> even sometimes pivotal as a communications tool in countries experiencing civil unrest / injustice

I get why you or anyone would say that. But I assure you, it is less accountable and more disinformation than anything remotely positive or helpful. Source? Arab Spring.

Twitter, and other similar designs are parasocial mass media.

I noticed too much use of the word "safety", like the LLM was told to emphasise it, so I did a little test: randomly scroll and move the mouse without looking, is there "safety" in there? I did it for 4 times and every time I found it. Ctrl+F -> 136 results.

I highly doubt he actually fully read, understood and analysed it for his words to have any particular value. Intuition tells me it is a knee-jerk jumping on the media train press release.

> Unless the website is completely broken or the devs force me to download the app by blocking features

That's already the norm.

LLMs will make this very hard to detect, very soon if not already.
