@alice@lgbtqia.space that's depressing (and infuriating)
Like, it's not that they're neck-deep in their bias and haven't realized, or that they don't care ; they ACTIVELY PURSUE THIS BEHAVIOR ?!

@theraspb @codemonkeymike @HitokiriEric @coldclimate that seems pretty limited, though.

Aren't there like, known vulnerabilities/jailbreaks for those ?
Or even "unpatchable without hardware revision" vulns

@elena @ianRobinson the original story is horrifying.
However, while I'm glad for him that it got solved, it looks like this happened (at least partially) because he has more public reach than most people do.

The whole "you account and everything in it belongs to us, and we may terminate it at any time" is an issue.
You should be entitled to some form of due process.

@albertcardona @echedellelr @kuba @claesdevreese very true, but that's still a nice, symbolic milestone !
