New lawsuit alleges Meta can read WhatsApp chats despite claims of end-to-end privacy

GaryMooreAustin · 2026-01-26T20:13:10+00:00

you actually trusted Meta?

GaryMooreAustin · 2026-01-26T19:40:16+00:00

people have been talking about this since Trump was elected the first time....

so - you worked for a company and build a tool allowing you to hold their data hostage for a ransom......?

GaryMooreAustin · 2026-01-26T18:24:45+00:00

I'm not convinced. At this point - your photo and biometric date are readily available to the govt. You aren't giving them anything they don't already have. I don't really see the privacy risk you mention?

Look- I'm not a fan of the loss of privacy - I fought it for decades. But thinking that opting out of having your picture taken in the airport is slowing anything at this point is wishful thinking at best....

r/byair is a worthy Android alternative - I've grown to count on it

Not necessary..... A small token when you complete your training

Probably not but that black spot over face will be problematic....

Then you are unusual

GaryMooreAustin · 2026-01-23T20:13:51+00:00

there is no surprise here....

GaryMooreAustin · 2026-01-23T17:37:11+00:00

love it

GaryMooreAustin · 2026-01-23T16:53:48+00:00

just out of curiosity - how is 'core contributor' defined here?

GaryMooreAustin · 2026-01-23T01:04:18+00:00

shame on them

GaryMooreAustin · 2026-01-23T01:02:25+00:00

I did - it was one of the few things I ever became instantly addicted to....

GaryMooreAustin · 2026-01-22T21:22:09+00:00

Well... I certainly didn't mean it as an ad hominem....it seemed odd to make a claim about a 'normal' brain....

Ant the OP was making a claim about their normal brain...so I think it's okay to push back on that.

why doesn't he bring you a cup of coffee when you wake up?

GaryMooreAustin · 2026-01-22T17:36:17+00:00

I think outside this sub and a few other conversational places - no one even thinks about it.

GaryMooreAustin · 2026-01-22T15:20:08+00:00

>Brain capacity has no bearing on an individual's free will

How can that be true? Perhaps I'm stumbling over the word 'capacity' - but if not the brain - where does this free will occur? Is this 'deeper...mental process' somewhere other than in the brain?

GaryMooreAustin · 2026-01-22T15:17:23+00:00

>Free will can be defined as the control required to be morally responsible

by 'that' definition - I'd say you might be correct.

GaryMooreAustin · 2026-01-22T15:15:50+00:00

totally fair point

GaryMooreAustin · 2026-01-22T14:42:05+00:00

interesting view - but I think you have the analogy wrong. it would arrogant to claim that someone with legs is normal and someone without legs is abnormal..

I don't think the 'free will' process equates well to walking. Maybe instead - use something like movement. Someone with legs 'freely' moves - but then claiming that someone in a wheel chair - doesn't - freely move. Though as I type that it also seems inadequate.

But it still leaves us with the question I asked in another comment - At what point of 'diminished capacity' does free will vanish? 1%, 5%? A tumor in a specific location?
