I haven't seen you or anyone cite a source that shows that particular product is the primary source of ivermectin overdoses. In my area, people are obtaining ivermectin pills which are marketed and intended for humans. So, again, calli

>I did not claim it was exclusively for horses Nope, you only strongly implied it. Ivermectin is not a livestock drug. Ivermectin has been used for 50 years in humans and is approved for that purpose. Ivermectin is not a "livestock

Please stop spreading misinformation. Ivermectin is an approved human drug and has been FDA-approved for human purposes. [1] Implying it is for livestock exclusively fuels misinformation on the internet. Someone who actually genuinely needs

Sorry, but calling it "horse deworming medication" is inflamatory, not to mention incorrect. [1] Ivermectin has been approved by the FDA for human usage. [1] Claiming ivermectin is a drug for animals exclusively is a falsehood. Is

By this logic, doctors should treat suicide attempts as if they're already dead. If you take an entire bottle full of pills to suicide, it's clearly wrong medical treatment. How about if you drink a case of beer and then get in a

That CF tool is voluntary, it does not run automatically. Also, I haven't seen many people argue that CSAM scanning shouldn't happen on online cloud services. On local devices though? Massively over the red line.

The CDC did not say "don't buy masks because healthcare professionals need them". The CDC falsely claimed they were not effective. This false narrative persists even today. How many thousands died because they were told by an

CDC knowingly lied about masks, though. They knew internally they should be used to mitigate spread, but publicly discouraged their use. There was no new information. There were only lies.

The CDC has repeatedly made misleading statements though. In particular, the CDC recommended against the use of masks early in the pandemic, which may have caused many thousands of cases and deaths. More recently, they've been wishy-wa

Leaking PII in the name of "features" is a security disaster. Ask yourself why Facebook doesn't just make available a spreadsheet of all names associated with which emails on the platform. It's because it's private

This isn't correct, it's not the only way. A Facebook vulnerability is less valuable than a browser 0-day and could similarly leak credentials. In fact, Facebook has had numerous authentication blunders in the past. [1] One of the

What you're missing is the statistical probability of two MD5 hashes colliding, which is astronomically unlikely. Your argument is essentially that a collision is more likely than a false positive, which would imply a false positive ra

It was not a hash collision. It was a false positive. The way the hashing solution works doesn't really allow for a false positive except in extraordinarily rare circumstances. It matched a man holding a monkey full clothed as a CSAM i

NCMEC's database does not only contain CSAM. It has never been audited. It's full of false positives. They are immune from FOIA requests. They are accountable to nobody. They work so closely with the FBI that there are FBI agents

It's already a lie, considering NCMEC's database already has non-CSAM images. It won't ever be true, since the hundreds and possibly thousands of entities with direct and indirect access to the database can upload SunnyMeadow
