Some of the companies involved that are mentioned in the article:
As another comment said, I also dropped everything and read the article. So yeah I guess that’d mean Streisand effect is coming into play.
Regarding the topic at hand: I don’t care what these companies say at this point. The fact is that in the past, I have used their services, clicked the “free” button, did some things, and then ended up having to pay them money.
Until the day comes that I get a letter in the mail from the government saying, “Here’s how much you paid in taxes, if you’re cool with that then please disregard”, I will not be satisfied.
And then you go to Settings / Privacy / Data and all you find is a link to the privacy policy and terms of service.
So you search online and find several relevant posts on a support forum, such as:
All of them have been open for at least a year, hundreds of users clicked the “I also have this issue” button, and none of them have any useful replies.

The warriors of the resistance to the AI-pocalypse will wear red sneakers and wisecrack like it’s 1994.
FEMA has a webpage for catalogging and responding to rumors about the hurricane response, though I don’t see any as extreme as the ones mentioned in this thread: https://www.fema.gov/disaster/recover/rumor/hurricane-rumor-response
I’m skeptical of how much this will help after seeing how misinformation spread during COVID, but at least they’re trying.
Think of an October heat wave as summer trying to use a restroom that doesn’t match its assigned season at birth.
That’s an oof and a half right there.
I hate to post because I have loved and trusted Wikipedia for years, but the fact that there are folks out there who equally trust what AI tools generate just baffles me.
Dang. It’s like he’s using an asset to lessen the impact of a legal penalty. If only there were some form of legal penalty that were equally impactful on all people regardless of how well-resourced they were.
Wasn’t this man fined a gazillion dollars? How is he still able to say things and have me hear about them?
Passing thought: maybe they’re right. Government inaction has made it worse.
But at the same time… If you don’t pull the lever, thereby passively allowing the trolley to run over a bunch of people as a result of your inaction, are you really “controlling” the trolley?
And so the world waits in anxious trepidation as a small cadre of disengaged but incredibly fickle voters in the sun belt and upper midwest decide the fate of humanity.
