There is no such thing as money with no strings attached. Even if it was not meant that way, or explicit quid pro quo in any way, after time Bellingcat would be more reticent to anger their financers.

> Shipping will get disrupted in both directions, as the U.S. is the set to impose its own vaccine mandate on foreign travelers on Jan. 22.
In my own European country most people certaintly do not know what distinction is made by the health authories around "with" versus "from" covid. We also no longer have data on the effects per comorbidity. Broken down per vaccine or if had prior infection. Even speaking of side effects was completely verboten. Everything is kept very nebulous and I believe it is mostly because of incompetence, but also some malice and distrust of the public to handle the truth.
So no, any reporting that seeks to puts their feet to the fire and clarify their data is important, and if it gives someone clicks good for them. I want the press to ask questions, not just parrot the media conference.
It's a bit like me going to my bank to close the account and instead they throw me out and keep my money.
Honestly I don't understand why microsoft did anything at all. Can't people just pin a version?
Now pin an older version and if you want fork it and develop it yourself. Whooptidoo.
> You can't argue it
I'll argue it. :) If you take the 7 and lower the top line, and take the 1 and make is smaller and place it on top of the line to the left, you have a 4.
I can encrypt anything and decrypt it by providing a required key with 7zip and a myriad other programs, but the Github pictures suggest to me much more.
As for Whatsapp, it makes no money, and there are plenty of non-monetized instant messengers, so I can't see them making a profit there.
The one thing they still have is Instagram, but it's "reels" haven't beaten tiktok, and it's already filled to exhaustion with ads, so it's a matter of time before it's popularity starts to decline.
As for the multiverse, that will never amount to anything.
The point is, if I want to buy a personal computer and stuff it in the closet for 50 years to use later, that's between me and the creator. Not Tim Cook.
Oh it's hard to make algorithms that don't make terrible decisions? Maybe then you should remove those algorithms and, say, have an ad review team.
And you would too, take your favorite instant messaging app and imagine it started blocking nudity/violence. Or email.
Imagine a child that was born with birth defects that reduce their life expectancy and quality of life. If they can prove their parents knew of the high likelihood of their condition, and still chose to go ahead and birth them, they might have a case.
So I guess there's nothing wrong with that.
