There you go again, pretending technology only has to do with the next breakthrough. I mean did you read what I wrote? I literally talked about that explicitly.

Technology is technology. If it's relevant today then why shouldn't it be here? If the US was constructing water wheels again all of the sudden it would be a technology topic and relevant to this sub.

If you don't like it and you're leaving, great. There's the door, what makes you think anyone cares? Or ought to?

It's the same post. You commented here twice. Which is ironic in hilarious ways. I guess you don't quite understand this technology..

Faking a person in the digital world and then using that likeness to affect real world politics has everything to do with technology by the way. We don't only discuss the bleeding edge of new consumer toys, it's a pretty broad topic. And politics being the process of how people function together in society ... I mean it's gonna be everywhere.

If you want to unsubscribe I guess, bye.

A coordinated and effective cyber attack could cripple infrastructure, it's actually a thing to be concerned about. There's a reason we banned certain Chinese chip manufacturers products from being used within government hardware. If you think there's not an actual threat you're not paying attention.

The value of the Russian ruble has fallen by almost half in the last year. They have taken a severe pay cut, that ten percent doesn't even kind of bring them up par.

Yawn. "Threaten."

Do it. Or shut up.

For the record, OP posted the article title and not a question of their own.

Yup. Remember this when they tout how threads "already has millions of users". They're all zombie accounts.

The "difficulty" in signing up is a feature, I say.

I have hope because this whole issue is widespread and known. Takes the wind out of their sails.

Sure they can. Stack overflow is one example. Any business operating on user driven content will be culpable. When you agree to the EULA and it tells you "what you post here belongs to us and we grant you a license to publish it yourself", you're signing over ownership of your content in exchange for a license to replicate it. That's how social media all works, all the EULAs work that way. FOSS is no different.
