Anyone can find a quote that says anything. >"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever." - George Orwell: 1984, 1949. Welp, guess that's it for freedom. A person from the…
>Mass surveillance is not going to go away without huge cultural reform of the security services. They don't take concessions. FakeComments was mostly talking about targeted surveillance, but I agree with him/her in…
It's easy to make nice-sounding speeches when you're not accountable for delivering any results.
If only god had created runoff voting.
It's very difficult to keep your digital record clean your entire life. Anyone who manages it is either very able and motivated or Amish.
Are you being deliberately obtuse? Canada doesn't have anything to do with this. Amir's account was closed because of his Iranian ties, not his Canadian ones.
Other way around. The EU is the one who bears the burden of forcing American companies like slack to comply with their laws. Though jumping straight to a shooting war feels like an overreaction. Maybe start with a fine…
Others sufficiently cover the actual killing. I would only add that wasting peoples' time and/or money at scale is just as bad. Waste 30 seconds for each of 100 million people and that's an above average human lifetime.…
Even more good could be done if the money were spent well, but the fact that the tax must be paid at all serves as the incentive that pushes behavior in a more environmentally friendly direction.
Not agreeing isn't the same as not understanding.
If I legitimately didn't understand it, it would be right to teach me. That's why we have mandatory schools for children.
Ad blocking doesn't eliminate ads, it just forces advertisers to astroturf rather than labelling their ads explicitly.
People accept that deal when they have a very strong guarantee that their $100 will still be worth $100 at the end of the term. Combining the low yields of bonds (let's be honest, your numbers are chosen for their…
If that argument were compelling, shareholders would do that. They aren't in it just to spite workers.
Facebook forbids them to learn something about Facebook. It was the phone's fault when they didn't limit what data Facebook pulled from it. Modern ones do just that.
I don't see how it makes sense to copy a strategy that loses money when someone else is already following that strategy and going broke due to all the money they're paying you.
The spying agencies are as accountable as any other agencies. They do what they do at the behest of the public's elected representatives.
The offer is there. It's freedom, and most people don't want it.
Work towards the destruction of the westphalian nationstate-based system by undermining and disrupting the institutions of media and commerce they are built on. AKA work for facebook.
Thankfully, you're not the first person to think of this, so there are also many ways to buy fake engagement.
Cars sounded like a terrifying future for stagecoach drivers.
>Obviously a completely locked down subreddit that rejects and deletes all posts and comments would be useless, Not necessarily. Reddit used to have some of those as running jokes. /r/blackfathers and such. Disagreeable…
What makes you think users were happy? If people liked that content so damn much, why was artificial vote manipulation needed to make it visible?
That's how they maintain content that you, as someone who prefers heavily moderated forums, find interesting. Most people aren't you.
Threatening someone with consequences if they perform some action may not prevent them from doing what they are determined to do, but it will dissuade many. The entire basis of modern society and law is built on the…
