I've been considering leaving iOS, this certainly pretty much guarantees it.
Ha ha ha. That doesn't leave you with much. I thought you disliked Android?
I've had loads of bad experiences, but I need a dual SIM card phone and I am tired of Apple's high prices and lack of innovation.
Is all back now

BLU has dual sims but was caught sending user data to China.

Did you read the article?
It was removed because of a lack of ways to prevent porn in public channels basically. Without digging further, one would assume with things like sticker packs and ways to report specific users.

Yeah I read that, those aren't things I appreciate Apple getting involved in. It's peer to peer communications, of course porn can be there. So can Safari.
Even public channels... you still opt in to a conversation.

But all they require is ways to report it. They are not after control.

I read the article and it didn't say only that, but filtering, too.
"Appleās developer guidelines for iOS apps include a section on safety that proscribes āupsetting or offensive contentā. A sub-section here, regarding user-generated content (which would apply to any messaging app with a public broadcast facility, as Telegram has), notes these types of apps āpresent particular challengesā ā and must therefore contain:
- A method for filtering objectionable material from being posted to the app
- A mechanism to report offensive content and timely responses to concerns
- The ability to block abusive users from the service
- Published contact information so users can easily reach you"

@brandon220
No price listed. Is that the fastest single storage device in existence right now? -
Got a chuckle out of this email this morning from Lenovo.
Subject: Is your company's data secure?
Answer: Yes, because we don't use Lenovo
-
Security starts at the device level... by avoiding compromised devices.

Interesting, I saw the Office Client 2019 Updates on wSUs on Tuesday.

Given how many versions we are into the Windows 10 era, now, it's not surprising at all.
