      For someone called freedom advocate you sure don’t sound like one.

        What part of letting me name people in my uploaded photos so I can easily find all of the photos of them is somehow anti-freedom?

        I would assume that the “arbitrary limit” is actually based on something like the amount of processing power that it could take to go through every single photo/file that is uploaded.

        Anyway, even if it is arbitrary - what reason would anyone have to turn it on and off more than 3x a year? It’s something you’d decide you either want or you don’t.

          what reason would anyone have

          That’s none of your business. You don’t need to know why anyone wants to do a thing to advocate for their freedom to do it.

          Just because you lack the imagination to think of reasons someone might have, doesn’t mean that they don’t have a perfectly good reason. But, they shouldn’t need to justify themselves to you.

            The don’t have to justify themselves to me, they have to figure out how to handle only changing it 3 times a year.

            I’m trying to understand any reasons why someone would turn it on/off more than once. Not asking people to “justify”, just curious because it’s not something that makes sense to turn on and off multiple times.

              You don’t know why they might want to do this thing. I also don’t know why they would want to do this thing. The difference is, I 👏 Don’t 👏 Care 👏. My opinion of their reason to want to do it is irrelevant to my advocating their freedom to do it.

              And that’s all I’m going to say on the subject. If you can’t understand that basic fact, then I don’t know what else I can say.
