More commonly, these are simply different matters, and the different parts of Government that handle them don't care. Even more generally, governments ruled by laws do not care in the sense that they do not, as a system, carry grudges

How many articles, podcasts, tweets, and comment replies did it take to finally put a dent into the endless repetition of the myths about Section 230? Cloudfare is continuing to use the very same faulty logic: that, somehow, preventing the

Your „crimes“ aren’t crimes, because it’s civil law, not criminal. Coinbase is, however, tempting fate. The „regulation by enforcement“ you speak of may be what’s happening to the industry. The company, however, might end up as a token skul

You’re in luck, the article speaks to exactly that question! Specifically, it says that the people “following mainstream consensus” are actually less likely to do so “blindly”, i. e. overconfidently. So the answer would seem to be: rather

I feel GitHub is the best thing that ever happened to the Open Source Community. Before, it was freshmeat and, for collaboration, arbitrary mailing lists each enforcing their same "standards" to send in patches. I can only assume

The problem with these theories is that they lack any sensible explanation of motive. Google intentionally degrading its search results because they "earn more if the user has to search again and again" just doesn't feel righ

That's not an accurate representation of the service at all. I'd say it's a lot closer to, say, New York City's subway service: something people love to hate, but that is, despite some flaws, quite successful, especially

Well, yes, maybe. The gay community also happens to be rather well-organized when it comes to STD threats. Together with the more benign course this strain seems to take, the varied presentation, and issues of shame, it is not unreasonable
