I went to their website just to have a laugh. This is some real shizo propaganda.
You could replace all of it with: Only watch self sourced pirated media! Paying and relying on any service has inherent risks
“1 in 3 (32%) people who illegally stream in the UK say they, or someone they know, have been a victim of fraud, scams, or identity theft as a result.”
320/1000 people know someone unlucky enough to fall for a scam.
This risk increases significantly when users exchange credit or debit card information to view content on unregulated and illicit websites.
If you pay for your pirated content you are doing it wrong.
Watching content via an illicit source can expose younger viewers to age-inappropriate content. These unauthorised websites, devices, apps, add-ons, and the content they can access have no parental controls.
My kids get a tablet exclusively pointing to a private media server in order to obtain the parental controls for-profit services just don’t provide. I banned YouTube kids, it was a shitfest.
320/1000 people know someone stupid enough to fall for a scam.
Correction: 320/1000 people know someone unlucky enough to fall for a scam. Plenty of very smart people fall for scams. All it takes is some lucky timing on the part of the scammer, where enough happens to be correct that they miss/overlook whatever tells might be present until it’s too late
This risk increases significantly when users exchange credit or debit card information to view content on unregulated and illicit websites.
I mean, providing payment information to legitimate services is always a risk. There’s so freaking many breaches that you simply have to assume your card will see fraudulent charges sooner or later and watch your statements for the unexpected activity so you can stop and reverse the charges before you miss the deadline
I agree i should have used different words, scam-ableism is counter productive to educate about traps.
I am pretty sure my dad fell for one of these because an ad popt up trying to pay a digital parking meter.
Though he wasn’t trying to get access to illegal content what people behind this campaign are alluding towards.
Scams come in so many shapes and forms, there is accidental click and there is “looked like an official Netflix page”. How many people will knowingly pay for something they know is available for free?
PayPal is nice since it gives virtually zero trust to the seller to secure customer info. But as you alluded to, PayPal has lots of problems mostly stemming from it trying to get all of the benefits of being a bank while accepting none of the responsibility of being a bank, and therefore customers receive none of the benefits of a bank while still getting all of the drawbacks of another entity handling their money
Oh that is so odd. I’m not from the US but I think cryptocurrencies are somehow associated with right wing there and the left wing hates on them because of this?
It’s so odd seeing people self-describing as oppressed minorities hating on technology that lets you bypass that oppression.

does this mean if I pay for streaming my privacy will be respected
🤔
Huh, I didn’t think emojis would be italicized. Interesting.
🤔They don’t show up italicised for me (iOS)
They show up italicized for me, iOS Thunder app
Did you ask Tim Cook for permission before trying that ?
Yep
Found the Russian bot. /s
Why the fuck do these exist? 💁♂️
standardization
i love this so much
Devs, we need bold emojis stat. Fennec people, get on it !
To ask…
You dropped this - /s
Sweet summer child
Hah! Like the “legal” services are much better than that!
Hey now, the legal services tell you they’re stealing your data. It’s in section 9, subsection 14, paragraph 423 of the terms of service.
It’s 507 paragraphs long and written in a mix of German and Esperanto but yeah, it’s right there! Clear as day!
Shoutout to Sony BMG putting rootkits in legally bought CDs.

You would be safer pirating.
You should use legal streams that you pay for so you know they’re stealing your personal data!
Lmao they even have the pre-1800 British flag on their site.
It’s actually
C:/>just to fuck your shit up.Well of course it errors out, you’re using powershell rather than DOS
C:\> They could steal your personal data without you knowing. </Access is denied.Proof my data is safe!
That’s why you torremt
I stream torrents using stremio.
Oh clever, didn’t realize you could do that
Yeah it’s pretty nice, basically every convenience of paid streaming services for free and every movie and TV show in one place.
If you use it I highly recommend the torrentio add on https://torrentio.strem.fun/configure
The C: prompt let’s you know they mean business
lol
compared to legal sites stealing your personal data after telling you (it’s buried among the 100+ pages TOS you agreed to)
Hey, don’t point it out! People are blissfully ignorant of how much they are owned. Don’t try to educate them.
Legal streams let something worse than criminals in. Lawful criminals.
Who are they stealing my personal data from, corporation?? Are they stealing it from me or from you??
Last time I tried to stream a hockey game legally it just wouldn’t ever load. I went back to the pirate stream.
You probably had to be using a Smart™ TV so they could steal your personal data.
The only thing I’m at risk of is receiving a warning from my ISP :(
I’ll get a VPN one day I promise

the way we share payment info to sites is so backwards is the reason despite all the problems paypal had, it still provide a lot of value.

I don’t think I am, it’s Usenet and a VPN, and costs less than my Spotify Family account.
But this is paying for a service that’s used to obtain content, not directly for the content
And you can pay with crypto, not providing any personal information at all
Aside: I am surprised to see people (on the fediverse of all things) hating on cryptocurrency. Where did this sudden turn of perception come from?
Oh that is so odd. I’m not from the US but I think cryptocurrencies are somehow associated with right wing there and the left wing hates on them because of this?

So, as always, politicians are at fault
Legal Streams
Let Disney Kill your Family
C:> They could try to use terms and agreements to get away with murder.</
incredibly disappointed that’s not a pirate streaming site
as opposed to the legal services where youre forced to hand it over along with paying exorbitant prices for a tiny catalogue
