If your stance is that people should need to log in to see content in order to have moderation, that's fine. Moderation is absolutely censorship, and I should have every right to censor on a physical or digital platform that I own. If

All of my young, single, and educated friends who previously lived in low cost of living areas (eg more rural areas or smaller cities) have moved to major cities within the last few years. All of them cited lack of things to do, highly subo

What irritates me about Google is they go to great lengths to tell you what they don't do but they won't simply come out and tell you what they do actually do. For example, I was reading the privacy policy involving transferring N

You could show that they accessed a device or used a service immediately prior to being subject to litigation (through network logs for example). A judge would not believe the person didn't remember the password in this case. If they d

Others have correctly pointed out the threat presented by key loss. I would like to add that I don't trust the government to properly follow the law once they have the keys. If law enforcement, the justice department, or intelligence a

Well, unfortunately your opinion doesn't change the fact that those are the requirements for containment outside of vaccine development. Any other strategy will likely ultimately fail. Sorry if that makes you unhappy; sadly the virus d

You're never going to achieve containment with just contact tracing, testing, and politely requesting that people stay at home. People won't comply. Containment requires mandating compliance: * Forcibly testing people regularly *
