Meta-data isn't count! It isn't really data. It just provides a graph of everyone you interact with. What's the problem?
And anyway, phone companies have to make a buck.. Its not like we're paying them for the service!

I was amazed by how strict some of their consumption rules are against, for instance, storing the metadata. This is data you’re paying for!
The docs claim it’s to improve the end user experience but I imagine it’s primarily to protect their interests as data brokers.
It really jars me how metadata so inconsequential, like the year a book in the commons was published, can be so strongly legally protected by a party that didn’t even initially produce that number meanwhile we have so little say or protections when it comes to the personal data we first-class produce.
I’m becoming more and more of the opinion that people in the US are second class citizens behind corporations.

"Avoid snark" is my first guess.
When you use /s, you're disclaiming the sarcasm immediately and in the same delivery as the words. It doesn't resemble tone at all, because you can't choose to be subtle. You don't get a beat in which the other person is initially surprised and then "gets it."
