The example of stubbing ones toe is a strawman. It is levying a rhetorical argument which has nothing to do with the topic at hand. It is also hyperbolic and sartorial.
Taken from excelsior.edu on the topic of sreawman arguments.
Distort: equate it with a non-topical example.
Exaggerate: use hyperbole in the example to describe a link between stubbing one's toe and deaths in car accidents.
Lack of engagement with my argument: there was no support for your assertion that the companies I mentioned do not engage in phone/textual communication when all of them work on the phone, are able to make voice calls, transmit text between phones, and are able to be set as the default SMS apps for a phone, which then subjects SMS communication to thier monitoring and filtering.
I know it subjects them to filtering as I once had Facebook Messenger set as my default SMS app and attempted to SMS a friend a porbhub link and FBM said that the message failed to send. Non-pornhub links worked just fine, but they filtered my porn message, and it was on SMS.
I know precisely what a strawman argument is. I made a good faith response, you did not.
Yeah, I’m not putting in this amount of effort to continue this. You clearly know how to twist things, good job. Still wasn’t a strawman, and doesn’t change the fact that your comment was misleading.
