Lots of companies use Glassbox to this degree.

Like going to school. The education lingers even after you have left the classroom.

Why wouldn’t the US want to be involved? FEST responds to vast majority of these incidents, simply because we want to know if someone was behind it.

Then don’t put your band there. Oh wait: you’d be complaining about Bandcamp and no recognition then.

Not everything needs to be “justice”. Quit diluting words and actions.

They create ghost profiles for those contacts, just in case that user ever signs up. That’s fucking garbage and they should be ashamed of doing that, let alone immediately removed from the App Store.

This seems like the shady type of thing lawmakers should pass laws against

It's the sort of thing Apple should ban to protect its claim that it is more private than Android.

It really is.

I keep buying into the Apple ecosystem because of their stance on user privacy. Sure, they aren't perfect; but they are miles ahead of there competitors.

Maybe a few percentage points' value lost as a slap on the wrist every now and then. I feel, that in this scenario, rather than a better carrot, we need a better stick..

When was the time when social convention had a stronger impact?

Social convention has always had a strong impact. Where I live, people will cut you in line if you leave a space big enough for them to fit and it's perfectly ok. Where I'm from, if someone did that, you'd end up with an angry mob and probably a fist in your face.

Social conventions are always stronger than the law; at least in person.

Really? Goddamn that's some dirty tactics. Guess I won't even look up what they actually do. FB already got its hooks in me when I was young and stupid, never again.

You sound like a real joy.

Quick: let’s implement ID for everything, because that clearly stops criminals.

They’re already 5 moves ahead by the time it hits market.

Started doing this a few years back - not only does it help with public speaking, but it also is a form of debugging whatever you’re talking through.

Nothing wrong with having a little external monologue.

“Fraud”...uh-huh. Please be clear that you mean AD fraud and not fraud-fraud.
