They want to go all digital but can’t withstand cyber bullying. Weakness disgusts me!

Another reminder to ditch the remaining cloud services Is still have and switch to local and self-hosted alternatives.

Whut?
My decade+ long boycott of Sony's garbage is looking more and more prescient every day.
I am on a boycott since the Sony Rootkit Scandal.
I've been out since they forced me to either remove dual boot from my p3 or stop playing games on it.
I had TV's Receivers, Speakers, cameras. They can go F themselves.
Same. I had an early, expensive CD-RW back in the day that Sony's DRM ruined.
A beautiful case to bring up to anti piracy boot lickers.
Fuck Sony and their anti-consumer bullshit
That's just good policy. Yelling at support personal or making them unsafe should not be celebrated. What is wrong with you?
Sure, yelling at them is bad.
But this is way more than that
You can't ask for anything, or they could arbitrarily decide you broke the agreement. You can't protest in any way, or they decide you broke the agreement.
Merely asking for what you've paid for to be returned to you is grounds for banning your profile now.

I always thought this stance to be interesting, because it reminds me of soldiers in a conflict. The arguments are that the enemy rank and file are just doing their jobs, they have a family, the actual evil bigwig is out of reach, etc.
But also, are you just going to do nothing and let them steamroll you? They're choosing to continue to work at that business, and are the only "frontline" that you can interact with. The fact that the business made a policy specifically addressing this common complaint, means it actually reached the ears of someone in power.
I'm not encouraging violence or anything of course. But, by design, there's nobody else to voice your displeasure to. The only other option is to quietly accept their changes and be ignored.
If they didn't want angry people calling, maybe they shouldn't make terrible decisions?
