That command prompt.
I have one of these on a billboard near my house. Every time I feel sad, I just look up to it as I’m passing by and it gives me a chuckle. I think they actually updated it recently. These posters are in the UK for anyone wondering. And this one in particular is in the London Underground.
I despise vandalism, but sometimes I feel an exception can be made
They could steal your personal data without you knowing.
So very ironic when it’s the opposite between them.
Legal streams let something worse than criminals in. Lawful criminals.
does this mean if I pay for streaming my privacy will be respected
🤔

Did you ask Tim Cook for permission before trying that ?

Sweet summer child
You dropped this - /s
“1 in 10 people believe they are not at risk when using illicit sources to watch TV, film or sports.”
ONE in ten? Man, they’re even bad at cherry picking statistics 😂
They even cite a study with only 1,000 participants for their statistic that “32% OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN VICTIMS OF FRAUD”
In the title, at least. The body of that claim’s card says that it’s the people, or someone they know that have been victims of fraud.
Gosh, I hate dishonest scare marketing campaigns.
Thought this was a Republican ad for a second. Similar language and appeal to fear and ignorance.
Yes, and those have the good stuff
Has a VPN and an ad-blocker I’m good homie, but fuck they know about this now… That explains where the fuck kimcartoon went
If it wasn’t across a train line it’ll make more sense if someone plaster over the “il” in “illegal”
They could steal your personal data without you knowing.
Hah! Like the “legal” services are much better than that!
Hey now, the legal services tell you they’re stealing your data. It’s in section 9, subsection 14, paragraph 423 of the terms of service.
It’s 507 paragraphs long and written in a mix of German and Esperanto but yeah, it’s right there! Clear as day!
Shoutout to Sony BMG putting rootkits in legally bought CDs.
You would be safer pirating.
I went to their website just to have a laugh. This is some real shizo propaganda.
You could replace all of it with: Only watch self sourced pirated media! Paying and relying on any service has inherent risks
“1 in 3 (32%) people who illegally stream in the UK say they, or someone they know, have been a victim of fraud, scams, or identity theft as a result.”
320/1000 people know someone unlucky enough to fall for a scam.
This risk increases significantly when users exchange credit or debit card information to view content on unregulated and illicit websites.
If you pay for your pirated content you are doing it wrong.
Watching content via an illicit source can expose younger viewers to age-inappropriate content. These unauthorised websites, devices, apps, add-ons, and the content they can access have no parental controls.
My kids get a tablet exclusively pointing to a private media server in order to obtain the parental controls for-profit services just don’t provide. I banned YouTube kids, it was a shitfest.
320/1000 people know someone stupid enough to fall for a scam.
Correction: 320/1000 people know someone unlucky enough to fall for a scam. Plenty of very smart people fall for scams. All it takes is some lucky timing on the part of the scammer, where enough happens to be correct that they miss/overlook whatever tells might be present until it’s too late
This risk increases significantly when users exchange credit or debit card information to view content on unregulated and illicit websites.
I mean, providing payment information to legitimate services is always a risk. There’s so freaking many breaches that you simply have to assume your card will see fraudulent charges sooner or later and watch your statements for the unexpected activity so you can stop and reverse the charges before you miss the deadline
the way we share payment info to sites is so backwards is the reason despite all the problems paypal had, it still provide a lot of value.
PayPal is nice since it gives virtually zero trust to the seller to secure customer info. But as you alluded to, PayPal has lots of problems mostly stemming from it trying to get all of the benefits of being a bank while accepting none of the responsibility of being a bank, and therefore customers receive none of the benefits of a bank while still getting all of the drawbacks of another entity handling their money
I agree i should have used different words, scam-ableism is counter productive to educate about traps.
I am pretty sure my dad fell for one of these because an ad popt up trying to pay a digital parking meter.
Though he wasn’t trying to get access to illegal content what people behind this campaign are alluding towards.
Scams come in so many shapes and forms, there is accidental click and there is “looked like an official Netflix page”. How many people will knowingly pay for something they know is available for free?
If you pay for your pirated content you are doing it wrong
I don’t think I am, it’s Usenet and a VPN, and costs less than my Spotify Family account.
And you can pay with crypto, not providing any personal information at all
Aside: I am surprised to see people (on the fediverse of all things) hating on cryptocurrency. Where did this sudden turn of perception come from?
Oh that is so odd. I’m not from the US but I think cryptocurrencies are somehow associated with right wing there and the left wing hates on them because of this?
It’s so odd seeing people self-describing as oppressed minorities hating on technology that lets you bypass that oppression.
So, as always, politicians are at fault
But this is paying for a service that’s used to obtain content, not directly for the content
You wouldn’t download a torrent

I downloaded 2 seasons of 1 tv show and 3 seasons of another in the last month, but I used direct download.
So, no. I wouldn’t.
remembers the repacks from 3 weeks ago
Nevermind.

Is that supposed to be more intimidating than corporations stealing my personal data with or without me knowing?
The only thing I’m at risk of is receiving a warning from my ISP :(
I’ll get a VPN one day I promise
