My issues is with false arrests due to people blindly following AI. People pulled out of their cars are gunpoint due to the AI misreading a single letter on the plate, the lady who was arrested for stealing amazon packages just because flock saw her enter and exit a neighborhood and she had to get doorbell camera to prove her innocence.

Also i think it should be public record about every single point of data flock collects and retention period. I am not saying they have to release the data itself, but I want to know what my tax dollars are collecting, how long they are keeping it, who can access it and who they are selling, er i mean sharing it with.

I wonder what the percentage difference is of people getting copyright strikes vs. copyright ID claims. I do hear far less about strikes themselves, i would assume (big assumption on my part so i might be wrong) if a video had a lot of views one would want to make a copyright ID claim and monetize on the popularity, that would also give the creator a chance to dispute it.

Also if you make all your living just being on youtube and no other platforms, in my opinion you are setting yourself up for failure. Youtube is a business with shareholders. They do have a responcibility for creators bringing in the money, but just like facebook, when you are a creator on youtube your ARE the product. One does not have to like someone calling them a product, but it is still the truth.

How is this a valid move. You bought a service and failed to pay for it. How is this different from predatory payday loans. Sure it is on a larger scale, but do you agree that if you get a payday loan you can leave the country and not pay for it.

K-12 education is a right in the US, you get to go to school for free. College is, for better or worse, a paid for service. You chose to go and you signed the paperwork.

Medical is a bit different, you certainly didn't ask to have medical conditions (most of the time). So I can't bundle the healthcare system with the Educational systems when it comes to paying back debt.

My LG has LG software preloaded and t-mobile software pre loaded. it just takes up space and would be fine, but it is annoying. One of the LG pieces of software (i thin it is a back up thing) does not work anymore, but still exists. An silly things like the t-mobile permanent unlock your phone app. My phone has been paid for for like a year and if i click the app and request a permanent, or temp unlock it says i am not eligible, but i cannot uninstall the app.

I have heard the argument about being able to hide the apps, but it is not the same. This is the first android phone i have had where i didnt root it and install a new android version. Just got tired of that (lack of security updates). So i am stuck with crapware.
