I think “explicitly allowing hate speech with examples” has done most of the recent damage to whatever their “reputation” is at this point.
Them actively suppressing non-fashy political views is basically expected.
Trump started the whole thing because he was unpopular on Tiktok. Republicans jumped on board because young people were politically organizing on the platform and they don’t like that.
But up to that point, there was no really effort, even as much as they tried to claim “national security”.
Then when the real information about Palestine was being spread there the democrats jumped on board because they are the same as republicans when if comes to foreign policy.
That’s what started the actual push that gained momentum. They had no actual evidence about the stuff they claimed. Also, if the claim applied to Tiktok, it applies to all the other social media. But they don’t actually care about privacy. They only care about a platform that they couldn’t control and wasn’t catering to them.
If they cared about privacy, they would have pushed general privacy legislation and/or regulation and oversight on all social media.
The reversal was Biden realizing he does not have a good legacy and with Trump, there was a lot more content this time around that was pro-trump (and also tiktok gave him a million dollars). So now he gets to claim he “saved tiktolk” when he was the start of the whole thing.

For the average person, even among conservatives, nobody likes their health insurance. Even if they’ve had a good experience with theirs, they know peoe who haven’t.
Online handles are still a thing. Most of these devs aren’t known by their legal names in the gaming space at large anyway.
Subverting copy protection had always been a vuage notion because they sell you encrypted content, but they still have to sell you something with the decryption keys as well.
Now, using the key to remove the encryption falls under “subverting” but if you use the key to play the encrypted media directly, why does it matter what hardware it is happening on?
When it came to switch emulation you didn’t really circumvent the copy protection, you exported the keys from a switch. The game images are basically dumped as is.
Yes, you could find the keys elsewhere, but if you dumped your own it wouldn’t really be considered subverting. Especially with the jig you put the switch into a state built into the switch hardware. It’s not even a exploit like jailbreak usually are. The recovery boot mode is an intended service feature.
The only illegal thing would be getting copies of games and keys from other people.
Even using LLMs isn’t an issue, it’s just another tool. I’ve been messing around with local stuff and while you certainly have to use it knowing it’s limitations it can help for certain things, even if just helping parse data or rephrasing things.
The issue with neural nets is that while it theoretically can do “anything”, it can’t actually do everything.
And it’s the same with a lot of tools like this. People not understanding the limitations or flaws and corporations wanting to use it to replace workers.
There’s also the tech bros who feel that creative works can be generated completely by AI because like AI they don’t understand art or storytelling.
But we also have others who don’t understand what AI is and how broad it is, thinking it’s only LLMs and other neural nets that are just used to produce garbage.
