I never really understood why it couldn’t be accessed. It has to be decrypted on the device for the user to view and with all the other data meta scoops up from our phones why not the content too?

And that was before they stuck their AI into it. How is that not a channel out?

My company had a client who did those financed schemes where people buy furniture and TVs and stuff and pay in installments. The one bit of information that stuck with me was they expected 50% of customers to default. They went under.

I was about to say how can you run a business like that but it just clicked. The execs were running a scheme on the company itself. The company tricks financially illiterate customers (I sympathise, not denigrating) into debt and bankruptcy, ruining their lives, while the owners pay themselves handsomely and buy cars and mansions running the company into bankruptcy. But they walk away with all their toys paid for by the broken finances of their victims.

Fucking parasites.
