This is only tangentially related to the article, but if you have small children I can't recommend Puffin Rock enough as a kids show. It teaches really simple environmental messages in a very subtle way while being absolutely adorable

Yeah, more like he qualifies for the "got some sympathetic media coverage" discount. That's not something most people can count on.

Less people will discover him. His site will seem sketchier to people wh haven't drunk the Kool-Aid. I expect corporations to police their platforms. I don't expect NBC to air a documentary on why the Holocaust is fake, and I don&

What happens when an idealized individual freedom collides with concrete societal need? What happens when "freedom of speech" is used to spread lies, disinformation, and injure the fabric of a country? Is the point of freedom of s

As the court pointed out, diaries and letters would have gone to the parents in the past (I mean, they still would if people wrote letters). However, the magnitude of the data makes things a bit different. If I write something down in my di

Yeah, the human component is definitely a lot easier to attack. I'm curious how this is handled. Does the person doing the random number generation have anyone else standing over their shoulder at the time? There should definitely be w
