The problem is people who thought there were "clear cut issues". Now there are more issues that are considered clear cut. Disagree? Bad for you.

There also could be medical reasons for the removal of arms. That doesn't mean parents should be allowed to remove the arms of their children as they are born.

Because some people seem to think autism is a cool personality trait more than a disability.

I wonder why they obscured the URLs in that way. It seems so stupid, given how trivial it is to decode base64.

Not to mention politics. Yes security guys on Twitter, we get it, you're all very progressive. Can you talk about bloody computer security for a change?

On the other hand if your iPhone is vulnerable it will get an update. Can you say the same thing about Android?

Group chats where everybody uses iPhone work through iMessage. If only one person switches to Android they get downgraded to MMS (open standard) which is much worse.
Why these people don't use OTT apps like WhatsApp I'll never know.

They already have end to end encryption available in WhatsApp. Facebook chats are not encrypted and users are aware of it and the risks.

I don't hold Mozilla and Google to the same standards.
I used Firefox because Mozilla aligned with my sense of morals. For that reason only. Now that they don't I see no reason to keep using an inferior product.

Users are not necessarily stupid. We all have a reason not to use Firefox. For example, I do it to spite Mozilla.

At least with iOS you get asked the first time you install an app whether you want notifications or not. Android allows them by default, and apps are not shy to spam you to get to open them.
