As another comment said, I also dropped everything and read the article. So yeah I guess that'd mean Streisand effect is coming into play.

Regarding the topic at hand: I don't care what these companies say at this point. The fact is that in the past, I have used their services, clicked the "free" button, did some things, and then ended up having to pay them money.

Until the day comes that I get a letter in the mail from the government saying, "Here's how much you paid in taxes, if you're cool with that then please disregard", I will not be satisfied.

Vance’s mother was able to buy private insurance through the Affordable Care Act’s insurance marketplace, run by Ohio, after overcoming substance abuse, becoming financially stable, and earning too much to stay on Medicaid.

Just logged in, just found it, just opted out. Thanks for the heads-up OP.

But fucking fuck. Can we put a stop to this? Legally? We could call it sometime like... The National Opt-out Policy Elimination (NOPE) Act or something.

I appreciate this thread's nuanced discussion of how file deletion works from a technical standpoint depending on storage medium. But as a user, when I delete something, it should go away forever. I don't care how.

The article focuses on password requirements that websites implement, not user behaviors. Common bad practices mentioned:

  • Permit very short passwords
  • Do not block common passwords
  • Use outdated requirements like complex characters

This seems to follow a progression

  • No ads
  • Non-intrusive ads
  • Intrusive ads, but you can pay to make them go away
  • Intrusive ads, but you can pay to make them less intrusive
  • Intrusive ads and you have to pay just to see the content
  • Content becomes ads
  • Ads pretend to be content (see Dr. Pepper's "Fansville")
  • Award categories for ads are featured in major award ceremonies
  • Award ceremonies just for ads go mainstream

Actually not sure what's real vs hypothetical at this point.

"Using imprecise language as an excuse to create plausible ambiguity about whether defendant violated this Court’s unequivocal gag order is not a defense; the subject of Donald Trump’s public statement to the press was unmistakably clear."
