Where does it say that? The article only mentions authoritative videos, which means they have been made or approved by authorities, not that watching the videos will interact with them in any way.

I wonder what makes them think they can get away with it.
That part:
Killing 3rd party cookies is good,
There doesn't seem to be any pushback for keeping third party cookies, just the "Privacy Sandbox" is not a better solution by any means.
Google is not the only browser vendor trying to kill third party cookies.
It's still exciting if you're looking for a specific upgrade.
Any plans for ActivityPub support?
IIRC their point was that SMS is insecure, so they don't want people using SMS in Signal to think that this is Signal. With RCS, they could do what Apple will - be interoperable while providing extras with own platform (iMessage).
Admittedly, that doesn't sound like enough reason to reimplement SMS and RCS alone would still be kind of inconvenient.
You probably just have to change your region to any EEA country, such as Ireland.
Okay, that is a very good point that I did not realize.
Because that way people thought they were directly paying for the service they were using, instead of being the product of said platform, having their personal data harvested and sold to the highest bidder?
Are you saying that people perceived WhatsApp as better than SMS or better than Facebook?
The red flag is to look at a free meal and not wonder what the catch might be. Especially to this day, with all we learned about what the tech majors do with all the data.
That's not my point. My point is why would the majority of the world do this when they knew it was going to be paid.
I can't think of other product examples where people would so gladly accept trial versions of otherwise free feature-equivalent services. Maybe WinRAR, but that could be replaced with any other product instantly anyway (no network effect), should it ever get enforce its trial.
Dislikes are no longer publicly visible, unless you use an extension (which would use mostly crowdsourced or interpolated data). There are extensions that show the likes/dislikes before clicking the video, but you cannot sort by it.
