Welcome back!
Quora deleted a post of mine, talking about the malpractices followed by money-lending apps to trap borrowers, labelling it as spam. The appeal to reinstate the post is also rejected. I was only creating financial awareness, as there are so many gullible borrowers out there.
The same post attracted a positive response on Facebook and LinkedIn.
To each platform their own… this brings me to the prompt lines for this week.
PROMPT #224
- If I were an app….

Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do, and what is right to do.

Mine is not worthy of a whole post, so:
If I were an app, I’d give users the option of turning off notifications they don’t want and chose the ones they do.

That’s great by itself. We are not always given the choice.
Thanks, Marla!

No, we’re not. An app that I use (for a convenience store delivery thing) basically says that if you download it you have to accept random push notifications from everyone they’ve ever worked with. The only way to stop it is to turn off notifications for the app in your settings – but that also turns off the notification that the person has delivered your items. It had just forced yet another push notification on me right before I read your post…

Unfortunately, there are no laws to regulate this imposition of conditions.
It makes sense to delete all apps not in use, as those are constantly sucking data from your phone.

I do use it though. Not often – maybe once a fortnight, but they message me like every 3 or 4 days.

I can’t figure out why my pingbacks are not showing the title of my post.🙄

The copy paste shows the title. The pingback only shows the blog title.

Yep! I’m trying to determine the reason.
