clean/orderly inbox.[2] | |

Why unsubscribe? | |
I don't know how it is in the US, but in Europe, a | |
newsletter by law needs to have a clear way of | |
unsubscribing by providing a link somewhere. | |
Why unsubscribe? 1. For the environment. It is dirt | |
cheap to spam e-mails around. But the amount adds up | |
in electricity and traffic. 2. For your own privacy. | |
2a. If you use a commercial mail provider that scans | |
your mails, then each time you get one of those, it | |
is scanned and the profile on you grows. 2b. In case | |
the sender of the newsletter is ever hacked (chances | |
are it will at a certain point), your address will | |
leak to the crackers. 2c. The sender has your address | |
and can (and probably will) trade it for money. In an | |
ideal world (we all like to think that hope dies | |
last) they delete your address when you unsubscribe. | |
If not, it's probably a violation of GDPR. | |

This show is very opinionated | |
The nice thing about podcasts and radio is that you | |
can monologue whatever nonsense you like and act like | |
it is the single truth in the universe. That is | |
exactly what is going on this show. First there is | |
some useful information about sextortion, the forms | |
it manifests in and consequences it can have in real | |
life, that's the good stuff. Then comes the bad and | |
the straight-out ugly bit. While the speaker starts | |
of with a pretty factual analysis, eventually he | |
slides into a very much opinionated stance against | |
any form of digital eroticism. Don't do ***** kids! | |
Where have we heard that before, right? Seriously, if | |
you are an adult having a problem with the fact that | |
people exchange nudes in their sexual discovery | |
journey then that is just your own moral problem, do | |
not project that on the rest of the world please. | |
People have done that about sex, drugs, music, | |
religious believes, cultural habits, and pretty much | |
everything we humans design to entertain ourselves | |
and to carry out our identity into the world. Saying | |
"Don't do that" really is totally random moral stance | |
since what is found to be offensive in your part of | |
the world might be totally innocent behavior where I | |
live and vice versa. So, again, because repetition | |
seems to work for Coca-Cola: don't project your own | |
random moral objections onto the world. They are | |
legit, they are rightfully yours to keep. But don't | |
try to push them further than that, because that's | |
just randomly stupid. | |

Poor quality. | |
SGOTY. Up to this point, your shows have been of good | |
quality and well considered. | |
I will preface this with the fact that yes, | |
sexstortion is something that exists. Observing some | |
basic safety measures when using the internet could | |
easily prevent it. It is a societal problem in, | |
especially in the age of social media. | |
This show however, was a hideous disappointment. | |
Utterly condescending to other human beings, | |
particularly victims of this. Moral-panic ridden | |
pearl clutching nonsense. | |
You opted not to :- Actually speak with any victim of | |
the phenomenon about their lived experience. | |
Nor did you cite any actual subject matter expert, | |
such as Eva Galperin (Cybersecurity director at the | |
EFF, works with sextortion victims), Violet Blue (an | |
author and journalist who covers the phenomenon and | |
adjacent social/tech matters extensively) | |
Your sources amount to :- | |
The FBI, a government agency known globally for utter | |
incompetence in understanding social phenomena, and | |
known to frequently lie to further its own, often ill- | |
considered goals. and Reddit. REDDIT. | |
Thats a fairly clear cut case of source bias. | |
Repeated mentions of 'evidence' that you opt not to | |
cite directly or clearly. | |
Nothing whatsoever besides moral grandstanding and a | |
baseless belief you have any right to tell others how | |
to conduct their personal lives. | |
Seriously, DO. BETTER. | |
