@0xabad1dea you know when my drivers license just wasnt going viral enough i said, why does this even take up space in my wallet? only like two cops have wanted to see it ever? i shredded it.

@0xabad1dea right.....

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange Maybe they were working on it, but a dog ate their homework? /s

@0xabad1dea Well good news for them, TOS engagement is way up!

@0xabad1dea We removed the fire extinguisher from the kitchen because it just wasn't being used very often

@0xabad1dea did...did they ask an LLM to write this reply for them

I have no earthly idea why someone would provide that justification otherwise

@0xabad1dea what truly boggles our mind is that some PR person, who somehow sleeps at night, presumably got the heads up that they were deleting the ToS in time to write a reactive comms document instructing the social media people to say that

and managed to do so with a straight face.

@0xabad1dea

I always find that toc pages are a rich vein of SEO and engagement... /s

@0xabad1dea omfg.. :blobcatgiggle:

that makes it only worse

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange make your tos interesting. add a small pong game or something.

@0xabad1dea "We need to gamify ToS."

@0xabad1dea man they don't give a FUCK

@0xabad1dea this the matrix that's destroying US

@0xabad1dea jesus christ, deception level "box propped up on a stick"

@0xabad1dea maybe they mean the repo on GitHub where you could see changes over time? I remember them getting a lot of flack for that. Removing the ToS outright seems to dumb but given everything that happened recently…

@0xabad1dea "we crossed a MRU cache with a GC"

@0xabad1dea @grrrr_shark I’d say more subtle, but absolutely transparent, is “has been framed across the internet”.

‘Across the internet’ is a lot like a right wing tactic akin to “some say”. The word ‘framed’ is that they’re somehow the victim and people misconstrued what was said.

“A group of people, we’re too cowardly to call out (and the backlash would be massive), are deliberately twisting our words, the big meanies”.

@0xabad1dea “genuinely disappointed in how it has been framed” is also one hell of a tell, I think?

It appears to be the same “how could you let me down like this” that shitty people and abusers use

@0xabad1dea That's the shittiest excuse that I have ever seen conjured yet.

It's a lot like saying "oh, only but a few people just only really seen my licence, so I might as well trash it, it won't be needed, right, right?"

Bollocks

@0xabad1dea riiigght......

@0xabad1dea @lashman What in the literal fuck.

@0xabad1dea
Everyone knows the ToS needs to be the main attraction of every website.

@0xabad1dea @stux

@0xabad1dea views, famously important on github

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange Yes, the hot topic everyone wants to take an immediate look at on every website: The TOS.

At least they have a sense of humor.

@0xabad1dea .... engagement capitalism.

@0xabad1dea they just can't stop, can they? Lmao

@0xabad1dea what the fuck.... Are they drunk?

@0xabad1dea is it just me or they never answered the question in the first place? Though given they just changed their ToS on the fly, I suppose writing any assurances down won't mean a lot to most

@0xabad1dea
This sounds like the kind of excuse ChatGPT would give...

@0xabad1dea

@0xabad1dea @gsuberland

LOL. That excuse almost plays, because we can with a stretch think that an "engagement" process run amok might be allowed to remove fundamental required contractual and legal documents. But... nah

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange they deleted their ToS because not enough people viewed it?

this says a lot about the modern internet.

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange so now the question is whether this entire thing was a classic "start off with a hilariously predatory idea so that the 'backtrack' would be more palatable" schtick or whether upper management genuinely completely forgot who makes unity money in the first place

the latter seems to happen pretty often across the board (ha), so..

@0xabad1dea LMAO, riiiight, suuure.

@0xabad1dea 🍸🍷🍹🍻🥂🥃🍾

@0xabad1dea 🙄

@0xabad1dea An elementary school student could have come up with a better lie than that.

@0xabad1dea :blobcatoh:​🌴​

@0xabad1dea Unity's CEOs and other bigwigs probably also only sold their stocks a week before the announcement because people didn't check them out enough. lol
