That command prompt.
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.
Legal Streams
Let Disney Kill your Family
C:> They could try to use terms and agreements to get away with murder.
incredibly disappointed that’s not a pirate streaming site
They could steal your personal data without you knowing.
So very ironic when it’s the opposite between them.
does this mean if I pay for streaming my privacy will be respected
🤔
Huh, I didn’t think emojis would be italicized. Interesting.
- Normal: 🤔
- Italicized: 🤔
- Bold: 🤔

They don’t show up italicised for me (iOS)
They show up italicized for me, iOS Thunder app
Did you ask Tim Cook for permission before trying that ?
Yep
Found the Russian bot. /s
Devs, we need bold emojis stat. Fennec people, get on it !
i love this so much
Why the fuck do these exist? 💁♂️
standardization
You dropped this - /s
so i went to their website. For a site thats immediate branding is about how scary and dangerous hackers are, you’d think their news section would be full of fraud and ransomware stories. instead, their “latest news” is solely articles about people being arrested for using pirate streaming services or selling loaded firesticks.
The single exception to this is a “social experiment” they allegedly did where they put a QR code up at the tube marked as “free streaming for life” and had people put pii in to sign up. This entire “initative” is solely another way to harvest user data lmao.
people being arrested for using pirate streaming services
What circumstances does that even happen in? Like a bar that plays a pirated sports stream?
Gonna be honest I didn’t read the articles so I’m not entirely sure. I did see a headline about cops going to peoples houses to issue warnings so maybe isps are snitching?
I’d be skeptical that’s even real, outside of a select few countries with especially strict copyright enforcement
Not even in the US, which it seems leads the charge on enforcing copyright most of the time.
It’s the “your internet could be disabled” scare tactics.
social experiment" they allegedly did where they put a QR code up at the tube marked as “free streaming for life” and had people put pii in to sign up
It’s insane that this is even legal.
I feel like it isn’t? Like isn’t that just false advertising?
their “latest news” is solely articles about people being arrested for using pirate streaming services or selling loaded firesticks.
So just to be clear, the damage then is not from the actual piracy or due to any invasion from the source of the piracy, but rather 100% of the danger comes from the enforcement of piracy’s prohibition.
Yes, definitely sounds like piracy is the problem here 🙄
Don’t do illegal drugs, kids! You could get in trouble, because they’re illegal.
You should use legal streams that you pay for so you know they’re stealing your personal data!
Remember kids: Torrents and Jellyfin are the only way.
I heartedly recommend Usenet. Bit more involved setting up than torrents but if you’re looking for fast and quality content then this is the way.
OK this hilarious. Guess who owns this domain. It is Sky UK
Sky are a bunch of bastards.
They were bought by Comcast a number of years ago, so they’re actually worse than before if you can believe it.
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.
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.
But this is paying for a service that’s used to obtain content, not directly for the content
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
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.
Yea and when you legally stream the mouse can legally kill you
Clarification: The Mouse as in Disney Corporation not as in the thing you use to move your pointer.
Oh, if Disney Corp could use the mouse pointer or the one on your desk, or even a living breathing mouse, or whatever else mouse or not rest assured - if killing you somehow benefits them they’ll do it. They might do it from sheer incompetence too and they’ll try to write it off as business as usual. Also, it applies to anyone you know for good measure.
Legal streams let something worse than criminals in. Lawful criminals.
“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.
legal streams already do
Pretty much everything does, even your car will and I would totally download a car if I could.
Lmao they even have the pre-1800 British flag on their site.
Thought this was a Republican ad for a second. Similar language and appeal to fear and ignorance.
