Reading thru that C&D You have a win(win?). It says that You "Have stopped and will not in the future access the Facebook and Instagram websites and/or use Facebook’s and Instagram’s services for any reason whatsoever;". As soon as You get on any page where there is the famous Facebook pixel, (like cloudflare.com) You have accessed a Facebook Ad services without Your knowledge. So essentially they wanna ban You from the internet (which they cannot IMHO) or they will have to delete Your data from their database in compliance with their C&D. I'm pretty sure this can be elevated as something pretty ridiculous and maybe there will be a lawyer keen enough to protect You and kick FB in the ass for this.


Much as I would love Facebook's pervasive presence bite them in the ass thanks to a legal technicality, I'm pretty sure that being exposed to advertising or being tracked would not be covered by any reasonable legal interpretation of "accessing a website" or "using a service" .


Was just a wild idea. Anyway, how can they check if prirai is obeying with the C&D?


Hey, its not me. I posted it as a gesture of support to the developer. The app actually used to fetch content just as the instagram on the website does and also gave very less user data in that process, only limited to a fetch request. While there are a lot of instagram mods out there who are a real threat, facebook only has problems with projects who care about privacy on their platforms. Also, the app hwas built from scratch up and had many anti-addiction features. The app's still up and you're free to try it.


My bad. Anyway, as a developer I think to ban anyone from using my services just because I dont like how my services are used is a stupid idea.


But Facebook is not really a developer, get what I mean?


Yeah I agree. Bad choice of words on my side.


Soooo many people were born on that day ;)


Valve reported in 2013 that 93% of its users were born on January first.

I’m not sure it’s related but I find it amusing

> January 1, 2021 Minus 9 Months Would Be: April 1, 2020

News just in 93% of PC gamers born because of April Fools Joke gone wrong.

Yeah I’m sure that’s it ;-)


I have locked down one of my phones this way and it's working really nice.


I believe if in 3rd world country I would be able to sniff on GMS traffic and get OTPs easier than a regular password.


I remember some implementations of TCP/IP stack on ZX, but don't remember if it was just a plan or finished product and I think they wrote about lynx as a browser?


Being a "hackathon hacker" doesn't mean one is not a "hacking hacker" ;)


Looks like a Turtle Zofka I had in my basic school really long time ago :) Even the instructions fit! :D

I'm thinking about on-premise solution for my family, but that would involve a point-to-point calls only and LAN stretched thru all my family networks connected with VPN devices. But that is a bit overkill for Your scenario I guess...


My cell plans are crowded as I have every provider in our country. From 100GB data only for 10€ to full fledged plan for more than 60€. COVID changed nothing.


I was a long time soldier with many kids and it ended up my wife (sort of) asking me to choose between work and family. My opinion: if Your work is anything dependable, You have to neglect family to be good at work. If Your job is anything regular, "family and career" can be done really nice.
