I bet that if one finds the source for this, there are a number of caveats and limitations that didn’t make it into your summary :)

No, it’s a static model, or mostly.

The raw data is from there, among other things, but there is more to it. It was trained using supervised learning and reinforced learning.

I don’t think there is such a thing as a globally approved standard for these things.

Facebook doesn’t scan WhatsApp messages at least, and Apple hasn’t implemented anything like that. Where does that come from?

That I agree with, except “hostile nation” is exaggerated a bit.

Yeah, but you can do surprisingly little with that feature. And it certainly doesn’t let the app run constantly in the background.

The key point is “years ago”, but you used the present tense in your comment. Why? This bug (or not, whatever may be the case) was removed years ago as well.
So no, it literally doesn’t do that.

It’s not possible for an app to run constantly in the background on iOS, at least, unless in special cases (recoding or audio streaming mode, completing a data transfer and periodic stuff). But yeah it can still use a fair amount with those activities.

I’m not OP or defending their views. I am just saying that expansion is stated as a rate, and doesn’t have units of velocity. I know how expansion works, and I wasn’t talking about that. You don’t need to keep explaining it, at least not for my sake :)

That’s not exactly correct? First, you’ll still be in orbit around something. It’s just some local gravity that cancels. Second, an orbit is another point where you can stay indefinitely. “Location” is pretty relative.

Well, it’s just arguing semantics. Since I know how it actually works, irrespective of what you or I wish to call it, I am not going to address the rest of the comment.

How? If placed there, it will not observe the light as it was 4.5 billion years ago.

Yeah, but you said “speed of expansion” in the other comment, which doesn’t exist, since it’s a rate ;). Maybe that’s what they meant.
