Dieter Bohn Intel's 10th Gen processors are just as confusing as the 9th Gen

A bunch of people you have heard of are doing the thing your not-good-at-computers relatives do: post a bunch of words online and think that it means they're opting out of some kind of Terms Of Service. This time around it's copyright on Instagram, but next time it will be something else. 

That isn't how the law works, but also: isn't it exactly how the law works? You say some stuff, it publicly gets attributed to you, and then it becomes real. That's how you signed up for the Instagram service in the first place! Except of course it doesn't work like that because Law Words happen in a Law Context and social media is nothing if not a machine for destorying context.

Anyway, I get it: we are in an asymmetric power relationship with these companies. They have lawyers, we have buttons. It should change, but that will take a while. In the meantime, it is really satisfying to put words on the internet and hope that makes what they say real. Sometimes it does! Just not this time.
