Ίσως το μεγαλύτερο thread που έχω διαβάσει εδώ μέσα και σίγουρα ένα από τα καλύτερα. Αξίζει να εγκαταστήσει κανείς το twitter μόνο και μόνο για να το διαβάσει. Respect @BenFerencz

tl;dr that "GET FREE TV!!!1" app your broke ass friend installed on his TV is letting people use his TV for internets and they agreed to it because no one reads agreements and policies except that @Alph4betSoup lady

I had so many DMs about this post. I've been dealing with a bunch of schmummy gunkins so I haven't had an opportunity to read it.

Well, I finally read this post and the cited source. I had to pause almost immediately upon opening the cited link because I was blasted right in my eyes with SLOP.

> Why This Matters Now
> Why Connected TV (CTV) is the Ideal Proxy

It is pure slop. The purist of slop. It is slopium. It is radioactive AI slop @radioactivered would collect and hide in her walls.

Anyway, besides it being written by AI and being a giant stinky pile of slop shit, it is (probably) technically accurate, although to confirm their findings I would have to download the silly TV apps they listed and reverse engineer them myself to confirm their findings (I'm not going to do that)

In summary, your TVs allow you to install super sketchy apps and all sorts of other dumb gunk. These free apps on your TV are being bundled with BrightData stuff, a well-known and relatively-disliked company in Israel.

BrightData allows you to profit off your free app. The money comes from BrightData turning your application into a VPN node, basically letting random stuff use your internet. In other words, if you write some free junk application, and a bunch of people install it, you'll profit by letting BrightData connect to these peoples devices (from the junk application) and do stuff. BrightData has historically used this stuff to bypass VPN blockers because the device they're tunneling through is a legitimate home computer address.

This is a (sort of?) common occurrence on the Android app store (and probably iOS app store too, actually) and isn't a shocking revelation in my opinion.

Is this illegal? Technically no because somewhere in the fine print (that no one reads) you're agreeing to it.

Is this incredibly unethical? Yes, it is insanely unethical and many companies and people hate BrightData

diego maradona passed away on november 25, 2020. within 48 hours, 100,000 people had walked past his coffin at the casa rosada. across the atlantic, naples mourned a man who had not played for them since 1991. the city decided he was theirs forever in 1987.

the year before that decision, napoli had spent 52 straight years in serie a without ever lifting it. they were a port-city joke. then a 23-year-old from a buenos aires slum walked into stadio san paolo wearing the number 10. naples had paid £6.9 million for him. it was a world record. it was also a city of fishmongers and dockworkers buying a savior on credit.

he delivered. two serie a titles. a coppa italia. a uefa cup. murals went up on the buildings. the name diego became one of the most common in the city that decade. residents started treating him like a second patron of naples. fans built a shrine around a single strand of his hair.

before any of that came the dirt floor in villa fiorito. fifth of eight. no electricity until age ten. his uncle brought home a leather football when he was three. he never let go.

four minutes inside the 1986 quarterfinal he scored two goals against england. one with his hand. the other dribbling through six englishmen across sixty meters of grass. fifa later voted the second one the greatest goal in world cup history.

then came the fall. a 15-month suspension in 1991. a 1994 world cup ban for a doping violation. a body and a career bent by what fame demanded of him. the napoli shirt he had not worn in three decades hung in stadium windows the day of his funeral anyway.

ronaldo, messi, pelé, maradona. only one of them carried a slum to a continent. only one of them ever made an entire port city move like a single fan. pick your goat. defend it.

A FIFA referee has spent more time in federal custody for being Somali than anybody on epstein's list who raped kids.

Seems like a bit of an oversight for the headline to mention him asking if he could kiss her, but not mention him cornering her, leaning his body against her and grabbing her hair. Or that she was a child sexual abuse survivor and he was a stalker.

@FragileAlex Σκέτο Telecom όμως έ; Μην το γράψουν ολόκληρο Deutsche Telekom και πάει κανενός το μυαλό ότι θα μπορούσε να είναι κρατική..
