So you admit that Israel just carried out a terrorist attack in Lebanon? Or is bombing and killing citizens is terrorism when "they" do it, not when "we" do it?

Yep, that's textbook big tech strategy: -Build up the hype -Get the product out there, make sure as many orgs and people start using it as possible. Make it free or sell at loss if necessary -Oh yes, we broke a few laws for this. If we don't get a waiver, we'll have to close the service for everyone, do you realize the impact?

That's Facebook on privacy, Uber on workers rights, etc. Now N+1th: OpenAI on copyright.

In these companies, does anyone check the licenses in details to make sure using them is ok for the company?

Meta will get at least the metadata: meaning they will record who was in which call connecting from where.

For example, if one member is visiting a client, Meta may be able to infer the relation between the 2 companies.

If any of the people in the room click "report", then the discussion is sent for review without the encryption protection

I'm pretty sure their user agreement translates to "you agree to let us do whatever the f*ck we want with the data you're purposely disclosing to us".

And last but not least: if Meta decides to wipe the archives, any info get lost?

There a reasons large companies ban unauthorized apps to talk about work.

XMPP is so bad it was the baseline for Whatsapp. You know: that minor platform that feels like IRC and never took off. A lot of the techno around you are old stuff that evolved, "new" techno usually comes with new unexpected issues. Then they mature, get better and... old?

I'm responding to

Meaning all Israeli civilians that ever served in the IDF suddenly count as military targets.

If you do what "they" do as a way to retaliate, are you any different from "them"? We need to be better than that.

Am I the only one who thinks that you could really please a lot of gamers by just taking old popular games with updated graphics, music, sounds and release as they were?

Was he not describing his fundraising as donations so far? You donate money you don't think you need at all. But you should be able to lend money you don't need in the near future. I would bet some of his "loyal" supporters would start to doubt if they were asked to lend too much of what they own.

He should borrow vast amounts of money from his loyal supporters: "Empty your lifetime savings accounts, I promise I'll pay everything back with interests!".

Then we'll see how much his followers really trust him when they need to put their own future on the line...
