You are implying that the only measure of success for a fork is for it to exist indefinitely. If the goal of io.js was to improve Node's governance model, which appears to be the case, then I would consider it a success.

This is Arkose MatchKey. Hopefully, they will one day fix the UI covering the images. https://www.arkoselabs.com/arkose-matchkey/

Unfortunately, I think this is another indication of a lack of understanding by GitHub of how their OAuth/GitHub App systems are expected to function by end users. I'm reminded of this incident [1] from a few months ago. Allegedly

Wow, this is really bad. The words "read and write" are hidden unless you click on the arrow next to "Repositories". I'm surprised this hasn't been used for malicious purposes until now.

Telegram (and other messaging apps for that matter) should allow accounts to be created without a phone number, and ideally stop saving the IP addresses of users.

Google is involved because they are being paid to link to these websites as advertisements. Since these are ads, and ads appear above regular search results on Google, they will appear above videolan.org, no matter how good VideoLAN's

It's sad how a website can't even voluntarily take itself down anymore without people like you complaining.

Do you believe that KiwiFarms is making a good faith effort to remove objectionable content to the same extent that mainstream social media platforms are? I think it's pretty clear that they're not, simply based on the prevalence

Yes, I've looked at the site quite a few times over the past few years. Even if you can't find people explicitly organizing there, you do see their effects across the internet in the form of off-site harrassment campaigns, general

Maybe if they decide to become platforms exclusively dedicated to harrassment, stop prohibiting and removing that type of content, and actively encourage it. Until then, it doesn't seem likely.

I wonder what their suspension criteria is. Maybe it's just "too much bad press"?

It is quite surprising that they took action. I wonder if this will negatively affect DDoS-Guard's reputation as the first choice for hosting illegal content.

The most important factor to consider here is knowledge. If it is the case that Cloudflare provided services to this website with full knowledge that it was a DDoS-for-hire service, which seems likely, this would significantly increase thei

These defenses of Cloudflare's behavior are getting very silly. Is there anything that Cloudflare could protect that you wouldn't be OK with? Because a DDoS-for-hire service is illegal, unethical, and contradictory of Cloudflare&#

This is very interesting, thanks for posting. According to completedns.com, instant-stresser.com has been using Cloudflare on and off for almost 8 years, and continuously for the last 3 years. It's also the 2nd result on Google for sea

This policy seems to only apply to content that they host. It appears that they don't intend to apply this policy to websites that they are only providing DDoS mitigation to, such as KiwiFarms. Whether Cloudflare is hosting the content

My point is this: if there are certain types of content that they deem unacceptable to host, why do they deem it acceptable to protect? I disagree that the paragraph you quoted is relevant to that. But if it is, then it doesn't seem go
