The article also says the following. Credit card giants Visa, Mastercard and Discover have blocked all payments to Pornhub, after the adult site was accused of being "infested" with child abuse and rape-related videos. So

Can't they somehow verify themselves and then be allowed to upload anything they want[1]? I thought the problem was that anyone could make an account and upload whatever they wished like child pornography, hidden cams, etc. [1] As long

You're completely missing my point. Of course anyone with more than 2 neurons is on the side of "not lynching the VP". My point was that a company like Twitter should not censor people talking about the fact that rioters chan

I don't think it's hard to argue that. When countries like China censor, what they do is make companies delete anything they don't like. Now it is the company directly who decides to censor which in my opinion is worse. Why w

Then what do you suggest? To we censor the news altogether? They report facts and usually they do it on a very editorialized way. Hiding information from the population is what authoritarian states do.

Yeah, a good idea. What could go wrong?

Yes. She didn't get the money only for being "the wife" as many people think. She worked at Amazon and she is one of the people that made the company succeed.

If that was about reporting what happened at the Capitol I don't think it should've been removed. But if people was asking in Twitter for Pence to be hanged, then yes. We shouldn't treat the same way reporting violence than v

Like this one https://twitter.com/rezaaslan/status/1307107507131875330 ? Threatening with violence if Trump appointed a new SCOTUS. He has almost 300k followers. The tweet is not deleted and his account is untouch

I don't know if it was removed by him or by twitter. But still. Get on twitter and you'll see many similar comments and accounts that encouraged violence and defended rioters this whole past year. If you're going to be tough

Let's ban Parler but we'll keep Twitter, even though the platform is full of messages like this [1] and worse. [1] https://web.archive.org/web/20210107225836/https://twitter.c...

I'm not calling it a coup because it was not a coordinated attempt to overthrow the government. I'm only trying to be as objective as I can. Maybe you're the one who should look at more videos. Like this one https:/&#x2

But all the calls for violence that the left made are still there. Even from elected officials and journalists who encouraged those who were acting violently. There's a double standard and it shouldn't be that hard to condemn viol

Big tech wants to control who's able to speak, that's all. This whole thing will end up swallowing us all. You'll see.

I can't reply to your other comment so I'll leave it here. I'm pretty well aware of the force they needed to get them out. I said they wouldn't have entered with a dozen officers there, which is completely different. The

I'm not trying to whitewash anything. I'm saying I don't consider it a coup because it wasn't planned as such. I can plan a move like that with my friends and it wouldn't be a coup. With a dozen officers they wouldn

Wait what? So you don't have any argument against what I said and now you change the subject? The same senators and congressmen that objected were interrupted from doing so because of the mob. None of the elected officials did anything
558.
by Darmody 6y ago
If you look at it that way, yes. But I don't think it was a coup as it wasn't even planned. Maybe some of them actually wanted to get in but I still don't see it as a coup but as insurrection.

by Darmody 6y ago
I'm not denying that they have committed a crime. They did. But a coup requires manpower, military power and very intelligent people behind. They didn't have any of that.

Do you believe it was a coup? I don't think the people that got there would be capable of overthrowing a unstable 3rd world government. Probably not even a small rural town.

I am a right winger. I don't live in the US but I would've voted for Trump. I have my reasons, I liked a lot of the stuff he's done and I very much disliked other things. That said. Storming into the capitol is not something

It's not always the same. They change it constantly and it's probably not the only small thing that they look for.

I don't think he's talking about Spain here.

I don't know if they are inventing society or they are learning how to act on a society. And what I mean by "how to act on a society" I mean to learn how to interact with others, where are the limits, the consequences of your

That's why it's so important to let them play. They end up figuring out a lot of important things by themselves that it would be almost impossible otherwise.

Spanish healthcare is decentralized as well. Every "Comunidad Autónoma" (think about them as states in the US) has its own healthcare system. Which is a pain in the ass if you have some condition and something happens to you outsi

This has nothing to do with the socialist party. This is the way Spain works and as a right-winger I don't see anything wrong with it. It's more like a different way of thinking rather than a left-right ideology.

I could smell the BS before reading the article. The heading is pure click bait based on nothing. Then the article turns into a "look how bad Amazon is".

That's why I'm never logged in. And I also clear my cookies everytime I close the browser. Youtube to me now is more like a blank page where I search for stuff instead of a weird aggregator.

I hope it's true but I also hope we don't end up with every company selling its own CPU that works only with their own software. Something like what we have now with x84/amd64 but with more companies on the game.
