  People keep asking why Apple allowed OpenAI to build a ChatGPT integration for Messages. Do get to the point, I don’t think Apple anticipated a company using the permissions required by ChatGPT specifically to read, analyse and store people’s Messages when the Messages app includes iMessage and not just SMS. The entire point of iMessage is that it’s rich media *and* end to end encrypted. The permissions OpenAI needs exist for legitimate software, and Apple warns people before granting them. Backup software needs Full Disk Access to back up protected files. Security software needs it to inspect files for malicious activity. Disk utilities need it to search, recover and manage protected files. It’s similar to WebView. It gave developers a way to display parts of an app that could change without requiring a new app release and App Store review, such as terms of service, privacy policies and other remotely hosted content. In 2014, I predicted developers would eventually use WebView across every major app, with some apps built almost entirely inside it. I also warned this would create a security problem because WebView had no protection against dangerous links or malicious code typically found on webpages. Developers could make a WebView look identical to the native app, so people wouldn’t know whether they were using the app itself or interacting with a website. Today, in-app security is a multibillion dollar industry because it’s obvious that opening links inside an app might not be as safe as it should be. Most predictions, especially in the context of digital risk, are not believed by a lot of people. But they become obvious eventually. Today, I’m saying OpenAI’s ChatGPT integration with Apple Messages is more dangerous for some people than almost anything else on the market. Of course someone can take screenshots and send them to the FBI, repeat something they were told, or deliberately share a private conversation. That completely misses the point. None of those things is equivalent to giving an AI service automated access to read, analyse and store entire message histories involving everyone someone communicates with. Comparing deliberate human disclosure with automated access at scale ignores the capability that makes this fundamentally different. And why it removes the main benefit of end to end encryption. I can’t comprehend how security professionals can defend anything that undermines the purpose of end to end encryption by saying "but encryption isn’t broken". Protecting messages while they’re being transmitted means very little if an agent can systematically read, analyse and store them before they’re sent or after they’re received. Apple permissions have legitimate purposes. This particular use of them is the problem. During the early 2000s, I advocated for browser extensions. During the mid to late 2000s, before the first iPhone when mobile web didn't exist, I advocated for mobile web instead of WAP. In 2015, I advocated for chatbot integrations across messaging platforms and business tools. I’m a developer advocate, an open standards advocate, child safety advocate, and privacy advocate. I co-founded 2 W3C initiatives, including the Mobile Web Initiative, where I was tasked with rewriting Tim Berners-Lee’s vision of "One Web". And was a significant contributor to 8 technical specifications, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0. I care about humanity. I don’t advocate for one thing in isolation from everything else. I’m a technical expert in specific areas with OSINT skills and 30 years across web, telecom, and mobile. 💡 I consider every stakeholder affected by open standards, technology, and legislation. Sometimes convenience justifies a privacy tradeoff. Sometimes privacy should take priority over security, and sometimes security should take priority over privacy. None of these should be treated as an absolute regardless of the consequences. In 2017, the PKI Consortium asked me to advise them privately and write about the impact DV SSL certificates and HTTPS Everywhere were having on anti phishing security. I faced fierce criticism from privacy advocates who argued that the connection should be encrypted even if the person on the other end was an impersonator. Those were their words. If you care, search for "Insecure Elephant in the Room". The fundamental reasons phishing works were the same when I was impersonated in 1996 when phishing was first discovered on the AOL network, the same when I wrote about it in 2017, and the same today. Now I have to argue with some security professionals defending something that undermines the purpose of end to end encryption. They need to look beyond the mechanics of software and encryption. Technology is an enabler. We need to consider human behaviour, how people will actually use a capability, and what happens when that behaviour occurs at scale. Also, the potential intent that goes beyond a website or privacy statement. I’ve faced this repeatedly over the years. Today, when I argue that government policies and age verification introduced in the name of online child safety and preventing child exploitation are actually surveillance measures, child safety advocates accuse me of not caring about children. This isn’t rocket science. Add AI to everything, even if you’re willing to accept the risks to yourself. But please don’t add AI in ways that undermine another person’s right to privacy or, depending on the context, their personal safety. Some people's lives depend on their ability to rely on end to end encryption. We're not talking about SMS. 💡Criticising the technology used to pursue an objective doesn’t mean opposing the objective.

  @SanityHak Thats one thing I picked up on in Miss Hyde's Testilying to checking Safari search history , wait what ? Safari is not and I repeat is not a search engine , they simply take your request and use Google and AOL and other search engines so by checking these search histories would tell Hyde the exact time That search was made and open tabs wouldn't matter but if she did check them she never said so ! Fraudsters for hire and a stinking *** judge who allowed false testimony in this trial and you can bet your *** Karen wins her lawsuit when they check all this stuff like invested videos and low quality security footage , 43 minutes missing , a bunch of bullshit **** and the antis can ride this **** straight to hell !

  I remember when I was young and my mother would take me to the mall. I would bring a small notepad and pencil, then sit in Walden Books and write down things I had to do where I was stuck when I couldn't afford the guide. And as far as Gamefaqs is concerned, I don't think I knew that existed till like 1998 or 1999. It's not like we had social media to talk about different websites, I had to search using AOL keywords.

  Harvest raised prices up to 1000%, and most users still can't calculate their bill until it lands. The problem isn't the price. It's that they never explain it upfront. Here I will be telling you about the new pricing model. so you can do the math before renewal does it for you. Why this happened to you? Bending Spoons ; the company behind Evernote, WeTransfer, Vimeo, Eventbrite, and AOL — bought Harvest in July 2025. Look at their track record and you'll see the same move every time: acquire, raise prices, shrink the free tier. You just watched it happen again. If you signed up before Nov 7, 2024, you were on the old flat-rate plan. Since then, you've been getting quietly migrated to the new model and it usually shows up hardest right at your renewal. What you used to pay- Simple, flat, per seat: - Pro: $11/seat/mo (annual) - Premium: $14/seat/mo (annual) No usage fees. No surprises. What you are paying now- You're on one of four tiers : Free Teams Enterprise Enterprise Plus If you're on Teams or Enterprise, you're billed one of two ways: Flex: your seat rate, plus usage fees based on what you did last period Unlimited: your seat rate, plus one fixed surcharge no matter what you did Base seat prices: Teams from $9/seat, Enterprise from $14/seat. Want profitability reports, approvals, or SSO? That's Enterprise only. Now the part nobody sees coming: Harvest doesn't publish a rate card. Based on real accounts, here's roughly how it works on Flex billing: - Projects: free up to 4 then $15 (5–10) climbing to $1,000 (151+) - Tasks: free up to 3 then $15 (4–10) climbing to $1,000 (151+) - Clients: free up to 3 then $15 (4–10) climbing to $1,000 (151+) - Invoices created: free up to 4 then $15 (5–10) climbing to $650 (51+) - Amount invoiced: free up to $3K then $15 ($3K–$20K) climbing to $650 ($200K+) On an annual plan, you get roughly 12 projects, 7 tasks, 7 clients, 50 invoices, and $50K invoiced before any of this kicks in. Cross a line, and that category starts billing you on its own, separate from everything else. One UK consultancy owner told the BBC the increase felt like "Daylight robbery" — and it's easy to see why once you see the mechanics above. Now, the small things that makes it even worse - Your trial starts on the pricier tier. You have to switch it yourself - Your first invoice looks normal. The real number shows up on your second one - Archiving someone doesn't stop the billing. You have to delete their seat - A two week freelancer still costs you a full seat - Stripe takes a cut of your invoices, then Harvest takes another - Scheduling is a separate paid add on There's no AI help. You're tracking and reporting everything by hand I talked to a founder this week who used to swear by Harvest; forecasting, budgeting, invoicing, no complaints. Then her renewal hit. She didn't get a choice. She's calling herself a "Harvest Refugee" now. So are a lot of people who loved the product but can't justify the new math anymore. If that's where you're at, the name that keeps coming up is OneSuite flat $9/seat/month, no usage fees, nothing quietly stacking on top of your bill. And it's not a stripped down copy either. It's apple to apple with Harvest, feature for feature: - Timesheets and Expense tracking with approvals - Billable rates and cost rates - Project budgeting - Time and material, fixed fee, and non billable project types - Invoicing, synced with QuickBooks Same workflow you're used to. And few more stuff extra such as - CRM, Contract and Project Management  Just none of the surprise billing. Before you panic or jump ship: go to Settings → Billing, find your renewal date, and add up your own projects, clients, tasks, and invoices against the free limits above. Know your number before Harvest tells you. best, Syed Rezwanul Haque (Reza)

  @AOL : WARNING - If forced to upgrade to paid subscription to “reset” password, you will not be able to return to “free” plan, even if you block future charges on your credit card. They charge you anyway. Call them: you hold for an hour. Then they say they’ll fix it, but don’t!
