I was looking at the new #Google Play #ToS (Terms of Service)

"You may be able to manage Updates to certain Content via Settings in Google Play. If it is determined, however, that the Update will fix a critical security vulnerability or critical operability issue related to the Content, or will prevent abuse, the Update may be completed irrespective of your Update settings in Google Play or your Device."

This isn't anything new, but that's a backdoor, technically.

@RL_Dane @feditips I suppose it means that server admins can import server blacklists instead of adding them entry-by-entry.

@servant I wish we could trust it. Imagine a world where you could "follow your heart" and arrive at a destination it tantalizingly gives you hope in, rather than arriving at dispair.

@aral I always take screenshots of my software's first moments :)

No, Ethan, you don't have that much time to complete said task

@CM30 It was my first one I watched :)

@searchliaison This could really change what it means to search the web — I just hope that more than one search engine gets technology like this, to help diversify perspectives and keep accountability as a factor.

@Nazareno Oh no
