UK plans regulations affecting Apple TV+, other streaming services
I’m not sure why this makes sense. It sounds like from the article that they are calling for censorship. This makes sense for free over the air broadcasting because people are being exposed to content that they are not asking for. But if you are subscribing to a service and that service is providing content that is offensive to you then you can choose to unsubscribe from that service or not subscribe in the first place. What is offensive to one person may not be offensive to someone else. Why not let the market decide?

Apple warns developers it will pull apps without recent updates from the App Store
I’m not necessarily saying you are wrong, but I still receive security updates. Apple is still supporting Mojave, so I don’t think my decision is reckless.genovelle said:
There are a lot of hackers that love this stance. Apple makes changes that benefits their customers first. I’m certain they address quite a few issues behind the scenes as to not alert hackers to flaws that they can exploit when stubborn users refuse to update. Old apps can serve as an back door for hackers under the right circumstances.slow n easy said:
That last line is exactly what I say over and over again. I might be one of only a handful of people in the world that still uses Mojave but I like iTunes and would prefer to not give it up until I have to. I like my operating system the way it is and don’t need any changes.itinj24 said:Ridiculous... I have an app that’s pretty much one of a kind and works really well. Hasn’t been updated in a while but why should it if it works?Funny thing is, Apple always breaks a lot of things with their software updates . iOS 15 has been a nightmare for HomeKit and especially Siri on the HomePod. That’s just one example.No need to update for the sake of updating.Instead of developers complaining because they don’t understand the reason for a change, they should know that Apple doesn’t believe in wasting their resources for no reason. If they invested time and resources into a change, there is a reason and likely a reason that it would not be productive to broadcast.

Fraudsters target Apple Pay in credit card scams
I totally understood what you meant by "automated message in perfect English". I thought what you wrote was perfectly clear.MustSeeUHDTV said:
Boy, you all are nitpicky. Trying to give a headup on a more sophisticated scam. I hope that helps someone.dope_ahmine said:Agree about the ”perfect” English. Also, was it a message or a phone call? The story seems to go in two directions here.
It was a robocall, so I wasn't talking to a real person. Since I wasn't talking to a real person, I used the word message to convey what was being said. It seemed pretty legitimate except for when kept repeating to enter my card number. Maybe if they spaced out the timing like every 10 seconds, it would get more people.

AirTag data crucial to recovery of man's lost luggage
You are making it sound like in your post that he guy who lost his luggage is blaming the guy that owns the house where the luggage was sent to. He is not. He is blaming the airline who sent the luggage to that house. All he is doing is explaining that the airline sent his luggage to the wrong address. There is nothing wrong with that. He doesn't mention who owns that house or any information about that house at all other than the address. You can go to Google Maps and get the addresses of millions of different homes. So what? No names of owners, no phone numbers. How is this relevant?22july2013 said:
If you both think it's "legal" to post personal information about people, then do you oppose Twitter's policy against posting personal information about other people without their permission?...Xed said:
It is funny that an article about lost luggage someone claims that he's tracking people and suggesting AirTags aren't legal. I guess some people just try to make issues out of nothing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯stuartf said:
He is not tracking people, he is tracking something that happens to be his personal property. There is nothing illegal about posting a picture of a building on line. Nowhere does he suggest any suspicious activity in his video.22july2013 said:I'm not entirely sure that it should be legal for someone to track other people like this and then post the tracking data online, especially when the person being tracked may be guilty of nothing. I'm fairly good at geo-locating places/people and I think there's a better than even chance I could find the name of the person who was handed the bag using this data. But I wouldn't want to post the name of a potentially innocent person on the Internet, because it just doesn't seem right.
I admire your tracking skills but equally you could probably do the same for any house picture posted on the internet, an address you see online, or you walk past in real life. That information is just out there. In the UK if privacy is an issue most platforms give an option to blur your home and even remove personal data on line.
Your concern has no relevance as to whether or not there was an AirTag at that location and relates to almost the entire concept of privacy of information posted on line.
He posted the guy's address and a photo of his house on Twitter without the person's permission. That's not only against Twitter's rules, it could be considered a form of doxxing or harassment. Regardless of the legality, he violated the website's rules and could potentially be banned by Twitter for that violation.Private information: You may not publish or post other people's private information (such as home phone number and address) without their express authorization and permission.
And by no means did I say in my post that AirTags aren't legal in and of themselves. Some people misquote others badly, probably because their arguments are otherwise weak. All I said was that I'm not sure if it should be legal to post detailed personal information about other people, especially if they are not guilty of anything.
