There was a story from the podcast ‘Darknet Dairies’ where it was discovered that a journalist’s phone had tracking software uploaded to their phone in a zero click text. The target’s phone received a text in the middle of the night that uploaded the software and then deleted any history of the text being received. I think this is one of features of the Pegasus software sold by the NSO Group. And that was 5 or 6 years ago.

Right. There were many times while on Reddit that I wanted to contribute something to the discussion but ended up deciding it’s not really worth the effort, it would never get seen. Until that fateful day my last comment was seen… Lemmy ever since.

Happened to me 3 years ago for calling trump supporters dumb rednecks - turns out I was wrong; there is an unfortunate diversity in this demographic. But honestly I haven’t really missed Reddit and enjoy the slow pace of Lemmy more.

HA! yes. I knew I spelled it wrong just to lazy to edit my post - thanks!

This feels like gorilla marketing to me. They knew the judge would tell them to take them off and it would be just enough of a sensational story to make it to press. Now more people know that Meta has these glasses.

Edit: I’m not changing it. The responses to my mistake are too funny
