Evidence (2021-11-09): Join the Facetune Community: [...] Tag us in your photos and videos with @Facetune and #facetune for a chance to be featured! [...] Signed up for free trial and next day after exploring the features decided to cancel the free trail as not what I was looking for. There is no option to cancel free trials on this app. Could not find the option to cancel. Search in app gives you directions to go to account then to cancel and there is no such function. The only thing close is an option to delete the app but clearly states if you delete the app you will still be charged. I Googled in how to cancel facetune and it gave me the same directions. Also found numerous complaints from others on not being able to cancel the free trial and being charged. People also stated they sent emails thru the support app and never got any response. I never received a receipt so could not call my credit card company or Apple Pay until the charge showed up as pending. Pretty slick app feature guaranteed to steal your money. I sent an email the day after signing up for free trial stating there was no way to cancel the free trial and wanted it cancelled—-surprise no response!!! Just charged me instead.

Evidence (2024-09-20): The redesigned iPhone 4 arrived on June 7, 2010 in tandem with the newly-renamed iOS 4, and marked the arrival of FaceTime video chat. Prices remained unchanged: $199 for a 16GB model and $299 for the 32GB version. It went on sale on June 24, and heralded the arrival of the first high-resolution "Retina" screen. "Once you use a Retina Display, you can’t go back," said Steve Jobs. (See launch story.) [...] Touch ID and the Home button were removed in favor of a new biometric security feature: Face ID. Face ID uses a TrueDepth camera system made up of a dot projector, infrared camera and flood illuminator. The A11 Bionic chip works in tandem with advanced depth-sensing technologies to map and recognize a user’s face to securely unlock the iPhone or make a transaction with Apple Pay. Face ID only works when a user looks at the iPhone X directly and is designed to prevent spoofing by photos and masks.

Evidence (2024-03-21): The lawsuit claims Apple's anti-competitive practices extend beyond the iPhone and Apple Watch businesses, citing Apple's advertising, browser, FaceTime and news offerings.

[...] The company is currently jockeying with the European Commission over whether it's complying with the new EU Digital Markets Act, which forces Apple to open up the iPhone app store to rivals such as Microsoft or Epic Games. Apple plans to charge big companies that eschew its app store 50 cents per download.

Evidence (2023-11-16): Apple’s decision comes amid pressure from regulators and competitors like Google and Samsung. It also comes as RCS has continued to develop and become a more mature platform than it once was. [...] The elephant in the room is impending legislation in the European Union that could’ve ultimately required Apple to open up iMessage. Apple has pushed back against this legislation, the Digital Markets Act, arguing that iMessage is not big enough in Europe to qualify as a "gatekeeper service." Just last week, it was reported that Apple is set to appeal to the European Union about the inclusion of its App Store and iMessage services in the Digital Markets Act. Nonetheless, Apple is getting ahead of any potential regulatory problems with today’s announcement.

Evidence (2015-12-11): Well, if we categorize the user in "those who want to use IMessage" and "those who don't want" then, in the "normal" implementation, Apple could get the money for activation only for "those who want to use IMessage". The "IImplementation" targets people who want to have silence... and are prepared to pay for it. Or do you have a better explanation?! :-) [...] For those which after Activation don't want to use IMessage/FaceTime because... whatever

Claim: "Trump can’t be on the Texas ballot because of our state constitution." (Threads, 2024-06-08)
Evidence (2024-06-08): The U.S. Constitution, not any state’s constitution, sets the qualifications to run for president.

Claim: "Trump can’t be on the Texas ballot because of our state constitution." (Threads, 2024-06-08)
Evidence (2024-01-30): Does the 14th Amendment empower states to keep Donald Trump off the 2024 presidential ballot? As the United States Supreme Court gears up to hear arguments in Trump v. Anderson on February 8 — which will decide if Colorado may exclude the former president from the ballot based on the January 6, 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol — experts at Harvard Law School’s Rappaport Forum led a spirited debate on a complex set of issues with profound implications for the upcoming election and beyond. Thursday’s debate dove into the specifics of Section Three of the 14th Amendment, which bars from serving in Congress or "any office" — federal or state — those who have previously taken an oath as "an officer of the United States" to support the Constitution of the United States and nonetheless engaged in "insurrection or rebellion" against it. Critics contend that Trump should be disqualified for the presidency under the provision for his part in the events of January 6, and have challenged his eligibility to appear on the ballot in at least 30 states. In December, Colorado’s highest court agreed with this interpretation — a decision that was quickly placed on hold as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear the case.
