The fact that this is not a legitimate argument can be evinced by the simple fact that this horrible act has never been repeated in history. If 'let's nuke hundreds of thousands to save millions' is a legitimate option, why h

Killing hundreds of thousands of people is also aggravating.

If the issue is knowingly keeping someone on the platform, then why did Fedora have to acknowledge that they knew of this user's existence at all? Could they not have kept 'unknowingly' allowing him to have an account? They d

Because they are the ones imposing the sanctions.

What's really the most disgusting thing here to me isn't just the sanctions and laws around them, but the fact that these laws have so much weight behind them, as compared to others. Compare this to any number of other egregious e

You can have some semblance of decorum and not use the work of someone you just banned.

There is compliance, and then there is overcompliance. Would it have been against the relevant laws to send him a notice that his accounts are going to be locked/deleted within a week, for example?

I guess I just don't understand how payment processing works in this domain: are you saying MasterCard is basically saying that their credit cards cannot be used to purchase adult services such as these?

Or The Learning Channel. Or I guess basically any other ostensibly nonfiction programming American channel :(.

This doesn't make any sense. It's like if the Food Network suddenly announced that due to mounting pressure from advertisers, they would no longer be airing any cooking shows.

This is why everyone should have a credit freeze in place with all three big credit bureaus.

Are there any kind of legal consequences for this in the US? Or is the reigning attitude basically 'if customers voluntarily gave the company that information, that's on them'?

Jitsi is discussed in the comment below yours in this sub-thread. I have extensively tested Jitsi and it does not do what I need it to do (support E2EE video conferencing for teams larger than 50 people). People recommend Jitsi all the time

> (After lying about it for years) Correct. But currently, as far as is known, they actually do provide it. Which, practically, is what matters because other than WebEx there are no comparable alternatives that I'm aware of.

If an app which supports groups video calls counts as a "video conferencing platform" in your book, then you're better off using either Facetime or Signal, both of which support E2EE, unlike Telegram.

by Ansil849 5y ago
Telegram does not support E2EE for group chats. It's also not a video conferencing platform.

If the option is "not use any closed-source E2EE video conferencing platform because of ideological purity" or "conferencing platform which promises E2EE and has SLAs and legal contracts backing these claims with the client&q

I've stress tested Jitsi's E2EE (both on the official server and on a self-hosted instance, with was a PITA to setup, by the way) and....it does not scale. After more than 20 clients joined, there were noticeable problems that mad

I use Zoom for the simple reason that it provides end to end encryption and can seamlessly support large (50+) team meetings. Other than WebEx, which is more cost-prohibitive and has a clunkier UI/UX to boot, I believe there are no oth

"But we make so many cupcakes, it is 'literally impossible' for us to be able to make sure each one is glass free" ... is what some people in this thread defending Google seem to think.

This reminds me of individuals who include nude photos of themselves reflected in items they post on ebay. When people spot them, they assume that it is accidental, but they are uploaded intentionally by exhibitionists, like in this Google
