    Permissions don’t cover everything. Say an app has access to photos — that’s a green light to use them, but how do we know it’s not overstepping? Without checking the source code, we can’t. It could be hoovering up all your photos right now. That’s why we need to look deeper than permissions.

      “we” ? who do you think is going to be doing the looking? it sure as hell wouldn’t be you because you clearly don’t know shit about fuck.

      I get that you really think you’re onto something here. you’re not. it’s never going to happen and it wouldn’t effect any meaningful change for society if it did.

      ya got duped by a politician’s campaign-speak. let it go.

        Who’s doing the looking matters less than the fact that someone should be. It’s about accountability. And change often starts with what seems impossible, until it isn’t. Dismissing the potential for progress just because it’s a challenge is the real dupe here. You basically just admitted you’re wrong this entire time.

          it’s not a challenge. it’s just dumb and enough smart people know better than to waste their time doing something useless.

          wait it doesn’t matter who looks? hmmm ok you’re trolling. oops I did it again.

            Look, I can’t argue all day with someone who has the mentality of a 15 year old. You really like to call yourself smart.

                Doesn’t matter. Keep eating corporate garbage and calling yourself an expert. People like you don’t last long.

                  you have absolutely no idea what I stand for. I’m a strong supporter of open source. but of all the real and significant problems in the world this is an abysmal issue to focus on for a presidential candidate. and frankly it’s a pathetic hill to choose to die on. try putting some energy into issues that could actually cause meaningful improvement to the problems we are facing instead of getting suckered into debating a topic about which you know VERY little.

                    Crazy to say that when I don’t even stand for open source. I stand for Free Software, which is not the same as open source. Honestly, you’ll never prove to me at all that you are some “expert”. I do know a lot about this topic actually, but the only thing you’ve been saying is “I’m an expert” or “you know nothing about…” so it’s been kinda hard to get a direct answer from you. You have barely brought up any valid points as to why I’m wrong, except for saying that setting permissions will solve all your issues, which is very stupid take from a so called “expert”.

                    I can’t stand typing out these messages any longer, obviously it’s going nowhere since you can’t open your mind just a little bit. In conclusion, you’re really not as smart as you think you are, especially if you think permissions solve everything. That has LITERALLY been your only claim. For an expert, you sound retarded. Good day!

                    P.S. If you think Biden is any better, you’re living under a rock. @ me once he can formulate a paragraph without stuttering. Thanks.
