Its a useful tool if you want to be Machiavellian with it even as a user

but if you allow them to search in your contacts, well, you claim it's not private and can use it to ameliorate their algorithm

You accept by accepting the popup that comes before you install the app and the TOS and other disclaimers

You go to court and they just say well there is a disclaimer and you CHOOSE to use it despite knowing what it'd do

you know the "Do you allow this app to access your contacts etc"

Yep

Never thought about that until after I learned this

the things one can do to another persons eyeholes

doesnt change the fact that its not enforceable

regret nothing

like instagram or twitter going "anything you post here is our copyright"

They can do that as a publisher

some weird copyright BS happen while i was away ?

@Samaritan™ still not enforceable

Because if you couple with a publisher to publish your say book you can give up all rights

***its thrown out as soon as it gets to court***

But you can't do that as a platform

They have no right

Is Instagram a platform or publisher? the answer seems obvious

i thought both of those shitholes sites are trying to claim not to be publishers

Challenging it gets thrown out of court not the TOS

They are claiming both simultaneously

you also CANT enforce them owning everything thats uploaded to their sites

Sometimes in the same sentence

Not being able to enforce it just means you can get away with it

lemme just steal some of apple's shit and upload
now apple can and will likely sue them to oblivion

theres no effin way they can control uploads unless they restrict the 99% ability to upload

Unless they use your stuff you can't sue

I think there is a ulterior motivation to that ownership thing but I don't know what it is

@Samaritan™ just verified, there's no such things as "allow us to access your personnal phone data or you won't be able to use the app"
It's privacy invasion if you refuse them access and they do it anyway

them claiming ownershit of ALL uploads is enough to sue

its MINE

I think it is so they can still claim to be a publisher despite clearly being a platform

its a BS claim

You are given the chance to refuse access though

By not clicking accept to "app will access your contact list"

give it 5years max and it will hit rock bottom from 2 things. either they will get almost absolute power with help of some GOV or get nuked from orbit

There is a case for when they update the app to do new things that you never accepted though

But there is also no case because otherwise everyone would have done something with that by now

@Inkogni That keyboard. What the fuck. Where is the numpad?!
