That's great. The article was scant with its details, so I appreciate your efforts here. I somehow doubted that wf would be so brazen, and I'm glad to see I was right with this assumption.
I don't understand. What makes Molly more trustworthy than Signal, if they both use the same central sever? The website doesn't really provide much data.
Is this a heaven you really want to go to?

You're right. Banning politics is impossible. That's my point. I don't think anyone can logically argue against the stance that black lives matter nor against the stance that the LGBTQIA+ folk lives matter. However, by taking the stance that BLM masks are not allowed but other masks are allowed, Amazon is also taking the stance that black lives don't matter. Whether or not this is intentional, is irrelevant.
I'll give you an example of a workplace doing it mostly right. My old employer didn't do many things right, but for political stances, they did. "No graphics, logos, or lettering, unless Company's, on shirts, jackets, pants, etc. is allowed while inside the building, whether on shift or off" When covid hit, this extended to the masks with the "etc." part. When George Floyd was murdered, for example, some of the employees (myself, and HR, included) wanted to wear the "I can't breathe" masks. We weren't allowed. Some of us did anyway, and just prepared to take the write-up. The write-up never came, because corporate silently supported us and the stances we took. However, rules are rules, so we got a "talking to" and a tisk-tisk finger wave.
Banning potentially offensive political stances in the workplace is important to a degree, but you have to understand that some things are not political stances so much as they are supporting the lives and rights of other humans. After Amazon management staff had pools going on who of their floor employees would die next from covid during the start of it all, I highly doubt that the company understands (or cares about) the value of human life, so it's no surprise they're banning BLM masks from their employees. Whole foods, I know. But wf is Amazon.
If this shatters the "public perception that casino security requires an 'Oceans 11'-level effort to defeat it", then the public wasn't paying attention during the past decade.
iiuc, wf is not saying that customers can't wear BLM masks. They don't want to show a political stance and, as a result, don't want BLM masks worn by their employees, because that could be misconstrued as wf or Amazon taking a political stance. I can understand that. However, they, then, must ban ALL shows of politics in their store by them and their employees, and that includes LGBTQIA+ stuff. Otherwise, they're just banning BLM stuff, which will be ~~mis~~construed (notice the crossed out 'mis') as them taking a political stance against black folks.
Works on apple silicone! Friggin A!
Explain, please
Get it, yes. But they don't use 'arse' on the daily, so I would imagine it wouldn't come naturally to say it, so they wouldn't think of it before they think 'ass'.
This is not a statement I thought I'd ever say haha
That looks amazing!
No doubt. And I'm not faulting them for making the deal or for collecting the data in general. I am, however, faulting them for claiming they don't know anything about you and then turn around and collect things about you.
How does that work, though? It's the same servers and protocols, right? So it would verify with an sms. Or is Molly not compatible with Signal (Molly users talking with Signal users), and I'm just completely misunderstanding the statement of being a hardened Signal?
