You're right, it doesn't. What I'm saying is that is not a good argument to say it's "high-tech spyware" because run-of-the-mill data-stealing crap does the same thing.

While it's true that people should be wary of such apps (just being a data thief is enough for it to be bad), and there's a decent chance that is indeed is spyware..
Even those who manage to disable the app find it reappears automatically, confirming its nature as high-tech spyware.
Isn't this actually common behaviour in the usual bloatware crap that gets installed?
Thank you, this will take some time to go through haha. I'll come back at you if I get the chance.
We have a mountain of evidence, that small hospitals are providing far worse outcomes, even if you factor in transport times to larger facilities.
Do you per chance have interesting sources you recommend? I feel this must very much depend on the distance.
In the modlog for their ban, the reasons given are "Trolling and misogyny", but iirc you can't find deleted messages? So yeah.

Now, whether it's still done anywhere else I am not aware of...
I don't read many of them, but in the RPG theme I can recommend Goblins! (https://www.goblinscomic.com/comic/06252005)
And, well, while it's not quite a webcomic but more a series of mostly unrelated skits, there's always good old Oglaf... It's quite hilarious, but uh huge NSFW WARNING just in case you miss it : https://www.oglaf.com/cumsprite/
Oh boy, to discover OOTS all over again. Enjoy the ride!
That's the worse part. They are already paid well, they're just greedy assholes.
Actually the worse is that we keep getting them elected and letting them get away with it probably.
Did you have higher expectations of western politicians or think those were non-western rates?

Digitalisation is a pretty large investment, and libraries typically have pretty tight budgets, so outside of governmental (or philantropic) intervention I assume it might happen very slowly or not at all. Old books are very fragile, so any intervention must be done very carefully.
And outside of that... while the contents can be saved with digitalisation, there is value in the object itself, and that's what they are trying to protect. They won't just abandon the items they protected for centuries because the text has been moved to another format.
