Covered in a previous comment. Floyd was complaining he couldn't breathe before police even restrained him. The autopsy also showed he had a lethal concentration of fentanyl in his blood. He died of a drug overdose.…
Cops almost never kill law-abiding citizens in the line of duty, so I doubt you'll be able to find much evidence supporting this claim. And no, you're not a law-abiding citizen if you die resisting arrest after…
You're essentially saying "don't use data to inform your decisions." This is trolling at best. No idea how this is the top comment here.
They could very easily opt out of getting scraped by Google. They choose not to though because it is beneficial to them to have Google help people find their content. Also note, Australia has specifically said removing…
Metallica almost certainly still got paid, so I doubt they care much. Blizzard is probably furious.
"Money is made up therefore it serves no purpose" is just a bafflingly implication. Care to provide any detail at all about how your moneyless society is going to work?
Flagged. The original poster has a long history of posting content with the goal of starting political flamewars.
Google Play Store is a monopoly. Developers literally can't leave unless they want their android installs to decline by 99%.
That post is three hours old with 1000+ points but is somehow ranked below multiple older posts with fewer points. It's currently ranked #27 putting it at the bottom of the homepage. It seems somebody is manipulating…
Let's see if the DOJ goes after them for predatory pricing first. Twitter may have bought themselves enough favor with the Biden administration that he'll let it slide.
Yup, the argument that they must be evil because they're named after a crystal ball from Lord of the Rings is one of the least convincing things I've ever heard. I have no idea why this is so consistently parroted on…
How exactly do you think Australia is going to enforce this mandate if Google has no presence in Australia. Are they going to have the military invade California?
The mainstream media won't pick this up because they like Twitter. If Facebook had done this, WaPo and CNN would be all over it.
I'm starting to think that the degeneration of society into a 1984-style dystopia may now be unavoidable. We need to take power back from big tech and we need to do it now.
Entirely depends on what the goals of the union are. If you want to improve your position in search rankings, a union is not going to help you. If you're a youtube creator who wants a larger cut of advertising revenue,…
Twitter censoring content is only a problem because they have a near monopoly in their domain and present themselves as a platform for everybody. There's no national discussion about HN moderation because it's a much…
Pouring gasoline on the fire is kind of the point. Take away people's option to peacefully voice their opinion and violence is the only remaining option. The hope is that these people will commit more violence so that…
Not surprising. The election of a Democrat government has emboldened them to start censoring their political enemies with less fear of government reprisal. This should hopefully spur more competition in the…
Because it serves as a jumping off point for people of a certain political persuasion to agitate for political change.
Pretty much every politician ever has used manipulative language to try to make themselves sound better than they are. It's why abortion activists call themselves pro-life/pro-choice. To take their words at face value…
So then why would California force them into that very situation?
It's very much deniable. This now forces restaurants to sign an agreement and start paying a commission. Previously, they got a free delivery service at no cost to them. Now they either have to pay or lose business.…
Some companies (Southwest Airlines for example) will refuse service to you if you're wearing a non-standard mask. Wearing the disposable blue surgical masks is the best bet if you don't want to be randomly denied access…
The media doesn't care right now because it's only Trump's orders getting baselessly delayed. After four years of Biden getting every single one of his executive orders blocked because the Republicans challenged it in…
If Facebook, Google, Twitter, et al are not allowed to operate in China, I see no reason why we should allow chinese social media companies to operate here. It would give Chinese companies a huge competitive advantage…
