Yes. I suppose it may come down to a mere feeling that they could conceivably scrub their general-purpose OS if they ever cared to bother, but phones are a bit more locked up. (Potential rationale for some. Most probably just like their moral outrage every morning regardless of whether it is true or not or if they would ever have cared otherwise.)
It bears no resemblance to what people generally mean when they refer to "tracking", so attempting to reduce it to such is misleading at best.
It also does not "track users after they have uninstalled the app". That is what we call "a lie".
If they reinstall the app, does the system know the app had been installed and uninstalled before? Yup.
So the images of Uber surreptitiously installing a glowing red ball up the noses of users who are simply trying to get their asses to Mars are wholly fictional.
Actually, I am a little puzzled by the whole thing. When did chips become secure and well-implemented in the first place? I think i missed that day of class in the last 10 years or so when "smart chips" actually kinda sorta started living up to the theory behind them.
This is the thing. It seems to work particularly well in a last will and testament. (Because the dead have more legal power or something.) There are sometimes ways around it, given the language, but it already sounds like the artist does not, indeed, have a leg to stand on.
Oh, I don't know. The overlay station IDs and show promos (and i think some actual ads) became so annoying they were toned down a bit.
People still complained any time the advertising per hour increased.
But remotes and DVRs and a trip to the fridge or loo are great for commercial breaks in a passive viewing scenario too. You are absolutely right about the internet, i just don't know that what they did with the tv model really always worked for tv so well, either.
They are saying that a government body that regulates how ads can behave is censorship and taking away choice of the corporations and consumers.
Just like net neutrality and privacy rules do, somehow. Remember how television was destroyed by limiting the amount of ad time? Or the inability to advertise cigarettes? Remember how much better TV became when they were allowed to start advertising prescription drugs? Yeah, me too!
Because the government will be attacked for it when it hits the fan, is why.
This isn't like it may be an inconvenience for a consumer. It's more like automobiles with a critical dangerous flaw that makes them a danger to the owner and others.
That being said, they should have forced a recall where the purchasers are compensated or the issues are fixed.
I know it is a huge infringement. Nanny states: Stopping you from starting huge bonfires in small yards and throwing DDT all over the place since forever. We are adults with god-given rights, damnit.
I can't help but think of this in terms of literature, but it happens in every art form: Sometimes a work is entirely a commentary on another work. Books, they may not be next to each other in a library, given the filing system, but in a bookstore they may. But physical proximity is not terribly relevant. The fact that a thing exists and people know about it is enough.
So Joe Haldeman should never have been allowed to publish The Forever War, right?
As to advertising, well omg you got advertising in my propaganda. Fainting couches for everyone!
_There have been no allegations that Idaho law enforcement officers or agencies are illegally or inappropriately seizing property from alleged drug traffickers._
Well duh. Of course not. What is the percentage of seizures from drug traffickers out of the total quantity of seizures? Probably not much.
Absolutely! We need access and the ability to collect and compel production of even greater amounts of potential "evidence", and remove all obstacles which make it slightly more difficult for us. We also need to continue manufacturing crimes wholesale. But heaven forbid we actually process, examine, and test any such potential evidence properly, keeping in mind what evidence is actually for, and trying to reach the closest approximation of the truth and serve justice by stopping guilty persons from further bad acts. And just what would you have us do about parallel construction, lying to the courts, exceeding our investigative authorities, and withholding evidence (of any quality) from the defense?
You would so hamstring law enfarcement? Look, you are at risk. Either from criminals, or us (and the actual criminals we don't catch because we put someone else away for the crimes.) Take your pick. Choose wisely, citizen. Choose. Wisely...
This means that the three websites will soon be rendered unavailable by Eircom, Sky Ireland, Vodafone Ireland, Virgin Media Ireland, Three Ireland, Digiweb, Imagine Telecommunications, and Magnet Networks.
It is rather besides the point, but there are how many ISPs in Ireland?!
