Thank you for fixing the linked page!
Very good info!

@wiredfire
Same. Here’s the text of that image:

Maybe there’s a setting on that page, @eff ?

Regarding the Tiimo app winning an App Store Award, Apple apparently said it helped them with the project of “getting our Halloween decorations up before Thanksgiving.”
I guess it was an Apple employee in Canada doing the review?

Age verification via face scans is not safety — it's surveillance. Biometric age guessing is inaccurate, discriminatory, and creepy AF. Stop normalizing it. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/face-scans-estimate-our-age-creepy-af-and-harmful
Face Scans to Estimate Our Age: Harmful and Creepy AF

Government must stop restricting website access with laws requiring age verification.Some advocates of these censorship schemes argue we can nerd our way out of the many harms they cause to speech, equity, privacy, and infosec. Their silver bullet? “Age estimation” technology that scans our faces,...

The holes are all the headphone jacks they took away from other devices.

This is the saddest July 4 in my memory. The United States is plunging into vile right-wing dictatorship, in large part because once-vital institutions -- including Big Journalism -- have chosen to be quislings when courage was needed.

It's not too late to reverse our decline, but it's close.

Republicans just passed the most horrific and devastating piece of legislation in a generation, and establishment Democrats are spending their time attacking a fellow Democrat who doubled youth turnout and won the primary with historic numbers. Just Fantastic.

Dear journalists: If you call the Trump-Republican omnibus legislation that (among other things) takes health care from millions to further enrich billionaires the "big beautiful bill" -- you are doing propaganda for the regime.

What the hell is wrong with you people? Don't you understand this?

App Store search is not a user feature:

The new two-tier developer system proves explicitly that Apple considers App Store search to be a developer feature rather than a user feature. Apple is willing to be less helpful to users to the extent that app developers pay a lesser commission to Apple.

Florida Sheriff Wayne Ivey is threatening to hurt & KILL protesters. Just remember: Florida cops were the same cowards who ran AWAY from the Parkland shooter, left innocent kids exposed to a deadly terrorist—& when they were sued for abdicating their duty—defended themselves (and won) by arguing “police had no legal duty to protect the students.”

So, their new threats to kill civilians isn’t the first time they’ve disregarded their duty to protect & serve the public. This is just who they are.😐
