I've been considering leaving iOS, this certainly pretty much guarantees it.
Did you read the article?
It was removed because of a lack of ways to prevent porn in public channels basically. Without digging further, one would assume with things like sticker packs and ways to report specific users.
Yeah I read that, those aren't things I appreciate Apple getting involved in. It's peer to peer communications, of course porn can be there. So can Safari.
Even public channels... you still opt in to a conversation.
But all they require is ways to report it. They are not after control.

I read the article and it didn't say only that, but filtering, too.
"Apple’s developer guidelines for iOS apps include a section on safety that proscribes “upsetting or offensive content”. A sub-section here, regarding user-generated content (which would apply to any messaging app with a public broadcast facility, as Telegram has), notes these types of apps “present particular challenges” — and must therefore contain:
- A method for filtering objectionable material from being posted to the app
- A mechanism to report offensive content and timely responses to concerns
- The ability to block abusive users from the service
- Published contact information so users can easily reach you"

No price listed. Is that the fastest single storage device in existence right now? -
Got a chuckle out of this email this morning from Lenovo.
Subject: Is your company's data secure?
Answer: Yes, because we don't use Lenovo
-
Security starts at the device level... by avoiding compromised devices.

Interesting, I saw the Office Client 2019 Updates on wSUs on Tuesday.

Given how many versions we are into the Windows 10 era, now, it's not surprising at all.

It would be a bad move on Microsoft's part to support something so new on OSs so old. When you have to do that, it opens the door to problems and security issues.
I think it's extremely beneficial to everybody to limit it to Windows 10. It's no surprise at all they'd do that.

Ubuntu 8.04 will be as small as 81MB on disk, and just 30MB when compressed for download.
I agree, supporting old stuff is a financial disaster.

It took me a second to realize that your comment about "I agree, support old stuff is a financial disaster" was agreeing with @Tim_G statement because your link text says Ubuntu 8.04 but links to an article about Ubuntu 18.04.

That's odd.
