I'm not sure why the second one is worse than the first one.
- Gander5739 6d agoWall, you can't tell if they're ignoring it, but it's fairly easy to show they're manipulating it. So a cut-and-dry demonstration is worse than a strong suspicion.
- duozerk 6d agoOne has to remember they're crooks through and through. They're doing it by retoggling the checkbox because it offers them plausible deniability. "Oh, side effect of a recent update, silly us, we'll improve QA, sorry !". Or "once again our all-powerful models got away from us ! they did it themselves, the little scamps".
- Gander5739 6d agoSounds more like implausible deniability.
