It's not just SMS 2FA causing this issue, it's the entire premise that a phone number is equivalent to identity. https://neflabs.com/article/sim-swapping-attacks/

Agreed, we're using Caddy right now. Time to switch!

For example, you could say, "Clearly the community feels strongly about this issue, and while I still believe Caddy should include telemetry, it will be opt-in, not the default. Sorry for censoring posts on the Caddy forum, it won't happen again."

Fair point. Done.

We think his public statement, "Earning your trust is my most important interpersonal goal" is both relevant and good. We're not attacking his religion - we want Matt to stick to his publicly stated principles.

Matt said in his statement above, "I haven't actually watched the video" so the truth is, he removed it simply because he asked the community for feedback and decided to censor any opinion which didn't agree with his goals.

How is deleting comments from his own community "done more for a reasonable discussion of this than you have"? Your argument has no basis, you're simply shooting the messenger.

You're conflating two issues. If Matt wants money, we're happy to pay. That's a separate issue from telemetry.
We don't want a) a sole developer making decisions which the community has rejected, and b) software which sends telemetry by default.

There are over 80 million US downloads of TikTok as of October 2018, with an active user count of 40 million [1]. This means China's authoritarian regime is influencing the political discussion of 40m+ US citizens.
You say this ban is good, I disagree. In the US, a lack of informed political discussion is one major factor keeping young voters away from the polls. It also prevents global free speech from reaching 400 million Chinese users.
