I often comment on videos but never do I check replies to my comments there.

It is. Feel like this could have easily be made more reliable by simply requiring all photos to be verified instead of just one OR at the very least, showing the verified picture as the first one with a note that only that photo was used for verification. They seemed to have gone with the most sloppy method.

I think that's for apps like Netflix or other movie streaming apps being recorded for piracy?

Isn't the problem of poisoning caused by Methanol and not Ethanol?

Gemini says this:

"Ethanol is the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, spirits) meant for consumption. While ethanol is safe for moderate consumption, methanol is extremely toxic and can cause poisoning, blindness, or death, even in small amounts."

New comment by busymom0 in "Got kicked out of uni and had the cops called for a social media website I made"

busymom0 — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 23:19:09 +0000

To me, OP seems like someone who's deliberately trying to become the villain because he's seen the social network movie too much and is fantasizing that he'll gain the same wealth and fame as Zuckerberg by being the villain. Except here, he started crying when the consequences of being the villain caught up to him.

OP needs to realize that we are no longer in 2005 when the Facebook was founded. Nor is he in the US. He's in India which has much different laws and culture. And case law and our understanding of the harms of cyber bullying and harassment has drastically evolved since 2005.

OP should also realize that this is at IIT in India. There's already a huge suicide problem amongst students in India due to competition. Adding cyber harassment to that isn't the best idea.

I am actually pretty surprised how bad the writing is in the article. As far as I know, IIT is one of the most prestigious universities in India.

I think the site likely started off as a meme. However it also seems to have a bit of a "hit piece" vibe to it in the last section

Also note that as of now, Apple developer guidelines warns specifically of creating more dating apps. They consider it spam.

> They said that Cox had ignored bad actors, helping 60,000 users distribute more than 10,000 copyrighted songs for free

This is such a tiny number for a company which provides internet to over 6 million homes. I was expecting it to be in millions or at least hundreds of thousands.
