I hope those investigators know about cascading VPNs and hacked personal Computers that are used as VPNs/proxies...

Because you expect porn hosters to have a higher tolerance against those who want to pressure companies into their ideological paradigms. In the end porn hosts might be the savest haven for controversial content as they have become used to

Why? It is not like they ever had a different business model than making money out of userdata. It is just the first time this is becoming a real story because somebody made it a bit too obvious.

Don't think about the downvotes that much. They are sometimes just about timing. Around this time Europe is getting up so your post will be flooded with positive upvotes in no time.

> better protect the public against sex trafficking and countries that try to hack our political system Now that's an odd topic association. No idea what to think of this, but this sounds odd. Are they using the sex traffickng angle

It comes across patronizing when you tell others what to do without having the slightes clue about their situation. His gun might not be working, he might even have no bullets at all. Still you go on about how he should by some weapons appr

At this point I am sceptical that any communication platform can succeed beyond niche communities unless they go after the teenager market.

I bet he tries to avoid this becoming a 'Zuckerberg' story and is more okay with FB declining a few points on its brand perception.

Really brutal how unashamed they have become about their biases. No wonder people are getting so angry against the media and big tech while those still play the facade of a fair game.

You have a point there. Genereally speaking I agree that Facebook itself is on it's path down. Do they have enough money to just hang in there and buy the next thing 'what the kids like'?

Not at all. Just media's desperate hunger for any story that paints Trump in a bad light. The recent video evidence on Cambridge Analytica shows that they were at least shady in their operations. But their approach to targeting voters

It is such an eye opening experience to see how media frames things when they try to support or sabotage somebody. This seems so far the clearest demonstration for anyone remotely interested in the topic.

Isn't that just part of FB's culture? Didn't the Zuck start out by scraping Harvard's student registry?

Fascinating to watch - it shows how much power media has to put a topic on the global agenda if it fits into their preferred narrative.

Are you aware that many ICOs give free torkens to people who share a specific tweet or tweet a specific url?

Find somebody on Craigslist for tutoring or reade the fine print of your degree requirements. Often there are semi-loopholes such as the ability to transfer in credits from outside courses that can help you figure out replacements.

I agree with your argument and have thought about that 'explainatism' as well. In my oppinion it is used by those that are incapable of accepting substantially different worldviews to their own. Trump was prepping up his followea

Obligatory question is why? What usefullness or functionality made that much of a difference to him?

Didn't know about that one. Thank you for bringing it up. Very interesting perspective!

Then you are running in the wrong circles where you can't just reject any oposing viewpoint as 'Russian bots'.

Had to scroll down all the way to your comment until somebody finally gets the meta view. Just amazing how the usually brilliant minds of HN are baited into this morronic censorship discussion.

Is there anyone similar to Thompson who has such an interesting take on business topics? I have been looking for a while but this is really hard to find!

Fascinating how a topic like this is so 'controversial' that 8chan and Voat are the last places they can find a refuge while on the other hand it is such a highly impacting development for society.

We learn that there are no absolutes when using quantitative methods to measure human actions.

I still have that feeling about Facebook. It looks and acts like the central web registry authority.

It has math and numbers. Nobody interested in that on Twitter anyway.

Is there _any_ evidence on the attribution. Or are Germans also falling for the 'trust us we know best' secret service agency mantra?

What I am trying to say is - I don't belive that this is an obvious form of corruption, pribes and so on. This seems at that scale very unlikely in any Western democracy. But I find suprising that over the last years it became obvious

Absolutely and you need massive manpower to be good at all media and distribution channels.

What do you think about the idea that this is a hidden stimulation for the German car industry, ie. If you can find a reason to ban all cars that are painted blue, you create massive demands for other colors.
