When is an 8 year old considered legally competent to sign legal documents? Not in Australia and I thought not in the US.

Isn’t this just common practice? It’s called load shedding.

You actually need to have your own servers or actively use multiple platforms as well as backup your data. No platform is forever and some are only there at a whim. Google has a bad habit of unpredictably locking up your data too.

It’s just perspective, September is just the start of the Bronze Age south of equator.

I checked the plans and the standing charge increased so unless you have a really large usage it probably won’t save anything and could cost you a lot.

Sounds like US companies hacking Russian companies engaged in hacking. What’s the likelihood of rogue operators getting loose under the US umbrella? It certainly fits with the Trump model of making money.

It’s assuming that the users actions are in control of the platform. The platform generates a lot of plausible output that, if incorrect or misleading, is not easily distinguished from truth. Who is responsible?

“the person controlling” becomes a bit murky as the person who provides the platform may be judged as controlling it, the user may be controlling it. The courts could be busy.

Usually but not always different people calling fascist and antisemitic. It’s really polarised society, media and politics.

My worry is card theft. Using a a card with a low limit or a debit card on an account that doesn’t have much money in it seems the way to limit exposure. All the accounts are legitimate in your own name.

The whole idea that your data can be sold by a middleman or anyone also seems on the nose but that’s the way it is.

“The records contained passengers' names, credit card numbers used to buy tickets, departure and arrival cities, flight dates and numbers, and the agency responsible for the sale.“

And it includes flights that are totally outside the US.

A good reason to not use your primary credit card as who knows who has access to this data. A debit card linked to a burner savings account is probably best.
