Grew a pair
If everybody does it, will they fire the whole company?

Also I wouldn’t make the block very obvious.

Bring it on, as a programmer im savvy enough to fight it by blocking their IP addresses.
Blockchain comes to mind. But what incentive miners will have to mine new blocks of information if it’s not money?
A decentralized p2p impossible to delete/sanction software to track cops would be good.

Re:Show HN: Give your AI agents access to WhatsApp on Wednesday September 16, 2026 @11:55AM (#49728973)
