Google ran a huge push to get these into schools too.. There was a LOT of pressure on Schools to adopt from various partners (or at least that happened in the UK)...

Google is aware of the Microsoft gains from getting people used to their products at a young age...

I'm really confused.. Did you answer my question?

Security related issues should go through responsible disclosure and it's up to the maintainer to provide such a process or the recently flurry of "opportunistic whitehats" will continue to spam your issues and require triaging..

Github provides a process for this under the "Security" tab: https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/security as an example..

I find that by having a documented process it filters out a decent amount of time wasters.

I guess you gotta celebrate the wins when you can no matter how messed up the situation is! :)

I know this isn't the core of the story but I'm kinda proud of my country (The UK) for not fucking this up.

I think the UK Justice system did it's job here, albeit keeping him detained for a lengthy duration to do it.

Do we all need a competitor to Alphabet/Google? I'd say yes, I don't think Alphabet is behaving fairly.

Santander and Caixa are perfect examples of how to terribly handle fraudulent payment disputes. I worked in the industry is it's kinda well known they don't even follow scheme (Visa/MC) requirements and when you ask them to escalate to scheme they gaslight you.

Knowing this is the hoops you have to jump through in .es means it makes sense they don't have a robust anti-fraud process outside of .es.

RE "next-gen" "every day" "everywhere car" I can't comment because they don't really make a quantifiable point.

RE Charging: In the UK we had charge at home infrasatructure w/ .gov compensation and charging points at businesses/supermarkets/petrol stations way before a specific branded Supercharger infrastructure started arriving.

RE "whole automation": What do you mean? What point of Tesla is more automated than an Audi or BMW for a UK daily commute? Autopilot simply doesn't work for the vast majority of UK commutes and has been shown to be a poorly operating application with a potential incoming ban.

I think it's important not to rewrite history to fit a narrative.

The company is "Freedom Internet" in St. Cruz, Tenerife.

I've posted a review calling them out but they are stating:

  1. What they are doing is entirely legal <-- Source for pre-ticked checkboxes: https://www.natlawreview.com/article/top-european-court-rules-pre-checked-cookie-consent-boxes-invalid -- Source for not having a privacy policy that is referenced in contract: https://gdpr.eu/data-privacy/
  2. That the contract states they only share information with installers so they can provide the service... <-- this is an outright lie as per the privacy policy.

Can anyone tell me if the above is true?

They agreed to remove clause #2 (promotional offers) but said 1 and 3 checkboxes must be kept.

Also, can anyone access their privacy policy? I reported it as being a faulty URL but they state it works..
