  • I'm very conflicted about this whole thing. On the one hand, yeah it's kind of a scandal and people have every right to be booing him every time he touches the ball.

    On the other hand, he was convicted, sentenced, did time and is now back in society apparently showing remorse. People are calling for his career to end and various wishes of death on him. Why can't he continue his life?

    Are we supposed to lock up all criminals forever? Kill them? Just not allow them to follow their chosen career after getting out? Or is it just sports they shouldn't be allowed to participate in?

  • On what grounds would he be removed though? Is there a reason countries shouldn't select athletes that have been to prison?

  • I was semi-joking, but I also didn't click the link.

  • How on earth is "Leaked private messages" a reason for banning. Absolutely an abuse of power and Streisand Effect is doing it's thing.

  • Bro, no-one's clicking a link with "spyware" in the URL.

  • Elon would read this and still think he's Neo.

  • That's an odd take. His replies are basically just basking in the downvotes and admitting that he doesn't actually have knowledge of the incident.

  • I'd say the swathes of downvotes and removal of your comments by mods would make you go read about it before jumping to his defence.

  • Makes you think it might just be some objectively incorrect take huh?

  • Now this is getting good. I'll just take out my popcorn I brought from home.

  • I hope it's no more than 2 days in jail. Putting someone in jail for longer than the time it takes to clean up a foodstuff they threw at an inanimate object would be ludicrous and cruel wouldn't it?

  • Interesting, you sound like a 12 year old on Fortnite.

  • I think generally the majority of developers do think like this. They're normally the ones passionate about good games and see fads and trends for what they are. Unfortunately it is not usually these developers in control of major decisions or greenlighting projects at [large] games studios. Even less so at publishers.

  • Initially I thought this comment was threaded under the "my cat is my rubber duck" comment which made it much worse.

  • To be fair, they didn't lie.

  • Well how do you combat that if you are in a household or shared network with others who aren't privacy conscious?

  • I had considered that, but that would mean they are collating and amalgamating data coming from a single IP, which is almost as bad as listening to my microphone. Both are data gathering without my permission.

  • I'm not so sure. I'm interested in this thread because I had a recent issue like this. I barely use Instagram, hadn't booted the app for a month or something, only have it to support my SO's art account. Never comment/DM, just likes. Had a lengthy in person conversation about tattoos and the idea of getting them at current location. I didnt do any searches on my phone or any other device for that matter. Don't have any tattoos, or ever look at that content on insta (only follow art and wildlife photography accounts). Booted up Instagram that day and was getting purely adverts for local tattoos studios on my feed. Checked my permissions, all disabled. The only explanation I have is that it's somehow still listening. That can't possibly be a coincidence.

  • What/where is this view?
