Literal Hostage Situation
(feddit.org)
Alt Text:
Google photos on ios is literally a hostage situation. Remove key functionalities like copying an image or editing an image unless you give them full unrestricted access to your entire photo library. (The holy grail of surveillance capitalism data). Data extortion masquerading as a service.
Of all the metaphorical hyperbole situations where "literally" is misused, this one is barely an offender, and actually quite literal.
Because it's not you that is being held hostage, it is access to functionality and data which are being held hostage at the ransom price of your privacy.
ah yes it's literally the same thing as being held at gunpoint lmao
Google: "Release the photos, or the editing function gets it".
It doesn't involve any animals, but seems pretty hostage-y
Go. outside.
Are you having a stroke?
Yes. It must be because of all the crack I'm shoving into my butthole
