Ah yes, the classic Microsoft "what you really want is hidden behind a checkbox, otherwise you'll get shit".

I once turned that feature on thinking it was an actual backup (copies of my files in the cloud), I remember how angry I was when I found out it wasn't a backup after all and just removed your files from your computer and only made them accessible online.

I discovered what works with Youtube (for age verification) is sending a picture of an ID with everything redacted but the date of birth, so that the date was the one and only thing visible. That worked! Although it could've really been anyone's ID, lol.

Early results suggest the effort is working. According to numbers from Reddit, free-form ads got 28% more clicks than all other types of ads on the site and saw a jump in community engagement.

Yeah, because users get tricked into clicking and then immediately leave.

I hope that someone at WhatsApp realizes their duty to leak that code to the public.
