There is absolutely no reason they can’t pass a federal law and then still allow states to have a more restrictive law. It is stupid to add a preemption barring more stringent laws.

But really no laws are strict enough against data harvesting companies.

It’s not worse than nothing for those of us stuck in backward ass Red states

It would have to be super old. My 2015 and ‘16 iOS devices were fine. The only thing I had to remove was my 2010 white MacBook (which I just keep around to run home media anyway).

It’s not automatically on, but after the update it pops up on your screen telling you it is now available and asking if you want to opt in or not.

I don’t understand why states can’t just have more stringent requirements and the federal one being the bare minimum

That’s @snooggums@kbin.social’s point

DOJ needs to fuck off. Of people want to use an inferior product like android they’re free to, but nobody else should have to suffer for their bad decisions

Which is why I commented OP should have included the definition for decentralised messaging application. I had to look at the drop-down list to figure out what it was talking about because I was thinking it meant signal, telegram, or WhatsApp

Nobody uses third-party messaging apps here; it’s not just those two old people. There’s just no need. MMS has horrible quality videos and can’t be added and removed from a group chat and breaks functionality for everyone else in the chat.

Tell me how I can get a star ID or a passport without a Social Security card

I can’t even donate plasma without my Social Security card

Yes. Apple doesn’t sell the data

That’s why my aunt and uncle finally got iPhones. They were missing out on iMessage and FaceTime with the grandkids and rest of the family making plans.
