Wait until they deem “the border” to include international airports.

Oh honey

You blocked them for asking questions in a sarcastic way? How the hell are they your first block if you need that safe a safe space?

This will also make it trivial to target someone and have them sent to jail. I could literally post an image, right now, and it would be on your current device. Using your logic, you’d be liable and on your way to jail.

This is just pure, unadulterated ignorance, on full display for the world to see.

Whenever these kinds of reports come in, I always just assume it’s bad actors who know full well that in context the word being used is perfectly innocent, but they want to muddy the waters.

License plates are not private, they literally sit out in public all day. Descriptions are, again, not private. Even your license info is public.

Not to mention, police reports are info that can be requested with a FOIA request. So all that info is public anyway, even if it was originally private.

It’s cute how you’re hung up on my wording, and completely ignoring my three very real situations where your thumbs are very likely nowhere near their normal position.

Please tell me more about how I’m arguing dishonestly with what should have been obvious was a hyperbolic statement. 😉

That’s a completely different topic though.

Does EMS typically provide patient names over the radio? That honestly seems like information that would normally not be needed, or potentially even known.

Police interactions are public information. If you go to a police station and do a FOIA request, you get all that info anyway. Why would it need to be kept secret before the point it is requested?

Apart from the fact that many departments deny legal FOIA requests and force people to take legal action to get the information they are legally entitled to.

Oh wait. Maybe that’s why they want encryption.

Pretty honest conversation here. If you’re doing any of the things I just listed, you’re improperly driving if your thumbs aren’t moving.

Why would the situation need to be kept private? “We have a jumper at this and this street”, “shots fired on scene”, “I ate a burrito.”

I’m honestly curious, what vitally secret info do you think needs to be communicated over radio? They aren’t for conversations.

There are numerous times you would need to put your turn signal on when the steering wheel isn’t perfectly straight. A three point turn for instance. Exiting a roundabout in some places, a curved residential road. Just because you fail to think of scenarios it applies in, doesn’t mean it doesn’t apply.

Your thumb stays at the same place on the steering wheel when you’re not driving straight? O.o

Did your parents not have IDs when you were a kid? O.o

How exactly would they have cause to sue? “I wasn’t able to wank, so I was harmed.”

Unless these are paying customers? But in that case, the ToS likely explicitly says PH has the right to pull access for any reason, or a specific list of reasons.

A company like PH has lawyers, guaranteed. They wouldn’t be making these moves if they weren’t absolutely certain they were covered legally. It’s not like it’s a mom and pop porn shop.

The point is that there will be no way to handle the turn signal through muscle memory. With a traditional control, it is always in the same place in relation to your body. It doesn’t move. When it’s in the steering wheel, it can be in many, many different places. If you have media controls on your steering wheel, try using them during a turn without taking your eyes off the road. Now pretend they are smooth and act like a touch input on a dual shock controller.

By the time a user has shared them, 99% of the time all superfluous metadata has been stripped, for better or worse.

I admit, I’ve not used the site so I don’t know the answers to the questions I would need, in order to properly respond:

• Were these opt-in or opt-out?
• Were the risks made clear?
• Were the options fine tuned enough that you could share some info, but not all?

From the sounds of it, I doubt enough was done by the company to ensure people were aware of the risks. Because so many people were shocked by what was able to be skimmed.
