Just updated my iPad. It wanted me to take a photo of a credit card. I did not let it. It then told me I might not be able to access certain things. The future is fucking shit.

@joeress That's BS. I never set up ApplePay on an iPad. It's a stupid default and they should REALLY tone down the language.

But, I mean, this is Apple, the only vaguely less rapacious walled garden that wants to own your life lock, stock and barrel.

@feoh @joeress Nothing to do with Apple this time, it's the British government. It's the same government that tried to forbid Apple to do stronger encryption for data on Apple accounts around a year ago.
Your comment to me is proof that haters are gonna hate no matter what, you didn't even bother to inform yourself before commenting.

@mttn @feoh @joeress it's the british gov but it's apple that implemented it.

And what are they supposed to do exactly?
Laws aren't optional, they're not a suggestion, there are punishments for not following them.
The alternative is leaving the market entirely which is a little bit exaggerated here.

@mttn @f4grx @feoh @joeress laws are optional; especailly for corporations; apple ignores laws all the time

but laws absolutely rely on most people complying actually; just dont  and then they rely on propaganda to get other people to intentionally hurt other people because they 'deserve it' or its a 'punishment' or some shit;

it relies on most people just complying; and it relies on a thought of 'this wont happen to me' and inverting blame and discounting, those who are victimized by it

its just some orginization that makes violent threats towards everyone if they don't do what they say; im tired of them being given a shred of legitimacy,

fuck laws, fuck the state,

Right, "fuck the state", say that to the police men and women that will risk their lives to protect you next time that you are in a tough situation.
And of course you can't verify that every single company complies with every single law, it's completely impossible, everyone knows that, but as soon as the laws exist, punishments can legally be applied and you can go to court.
