Plenty of Tesla owners ignore the and use third party hitches and they work fine, but those owners are also taking a risk that their warranty will be voided or that they could get into an accident because they don’t have the advantage of the Tesla safety features. The software is simply the enforcement mechanism because, without it, what would stop you from buying and using a third party hitch? Tesla is forcing you to buy one of their products at an exorbitant cost (40% markup), when other (less expensive) products are available and will work with their car. The anti-competitive three-step here is saying:ġ) You have to use trailer mode software to use a hitch and trailer with your Tesla model YĢ) You cannot get Trailer Mode software unless you buy our trailer package.ģ) Failing to use Trailer Mode when pulling a trailer voids your warranty.Īgain - this is “tying” which is illegal under antitrust laws. Individual messages can also be set to explode after a certain time period. So long as you choose to keep your chat history, you’ll always be able to search and read all of it. Its a wiring harness.just like aftermarket wiring harnesses that will work with the same vehicle. Keybase accounts are public, but you can control who can chat or otherwise interact with you by blocking, reporting, and/or restricting contacts. So - long and short - end of this useless debate and - everyone else - beware! Trolls be about!! Hiring some firm to hire some college grad or underemployed engineer to lurk on /r/righttorepair and troll and generally “play devil’s advocate’ definitely isn’t beneath them and well within their budget. Major corporations’ interest in undermining right to repair (as well as their budget) knows no bounds. Honestly, reading your “I’m just playing devil’s advocate” posts in other threads, I honestly wonder if you’re just working for a PR firm or manufacturer front group - there are tons of these - The Repair Done Right Coalition, etc. You basically just start from the position of “Tesla is right,” and work backwards using whatever factoids you can find and then filling in the blanks with “this must exist” in order to justify their anti competitive behavior. If you’re a free Zoom user, and waiting for the company to roll out end-to-end encryption for better protection of your calls, you’re out of luck.You appear to be kind of willingly misreading my post and/or fabricating arguments against out of thin air to justify Tesla’s behavior - no matter what. Zoom CEO Eric Yuan today said that the video conferencing app’s upcoming end-to-end encryption feature will be available to only paid users.įree calls won’t be encrypted, and law enforcement will be able to access your information in case of ‘misuse’ of the platform. After announcing the company’s financial results for Q1 2020, Yuan said the firm wants to keep this feature away from free users to work with law enforcement in case of the app’s misuse:įree users, for sure, we don’t want to give that. In the past, platforms with end-to-end encryption, such as WhatsApp, have faced heavy scrutiny in many countries because they were unable to trace the origins of problematic and misleading messages.īecause we also want to work it together with FBI and local law enforcement, in case some people use Zoom for bad purpose. Zoom likey wants to avoid being in such a position, and wants to comply with local laws to keep operating across the globe.Īlex Stamos, working as a security consultant with Zoom, said it wants to catch repeat offenders for hate speech or child exploitative content by not offering end-to-end encryption t0 free users. Zoom is dealing with some serious safety issues. When people disrupt meetings (sometimes with hate speech, CSAM, exposure to children and other illegal behaviors) that can be reported by the host. Zoom is working with law enforcement on the worst repeat offenders. In March, The Intercept published a report stating that the company doesn’t use end-to-end encryption, despite claiming that on its website and security white paper. Later, Zoom apologized and issued a clarification to specify it didn’t provide the feature at that time. The acquisition comes weeks after Zoom admitted it actually wasn’t offering end-to-end encryption, as previously advertised. Last month, the company acquired Keybase.io, an encryption-based identity service, to build its end-to-end encryption offering. So the company is tapping Keybase, which runs its own encrypted chat. Yuan said today that the company got a lot of feedback from users on encryption, and it’s working out on executing it. However, he didn’t specify a release date for the feature.Īccording to the Q1 2020 results, the company grew 169% year-on-year in terms of revenue.
