Social media is not unique. The Capital class is basically railroad barons across the board. Whether it's oil, finance, online marketplaces, social media, airline/airline manufacturing, the prison industrial complex, etc. Thinking

I'm not suggesting it's unique, but I am suggesting that expecting them all to be delivered fast, high quality, and reasonably priced is a very tall order.

I'm not sure that's actually true. Having worked in the industry, games do not always get better with more work and time. Some systems are just too complicated to fix fast than bugs get introduced.

The SPD took a picture of a candle and called it a thrown explosive. They also blamed last week's events on BLM and several officers participated in the Capitol Riot and are on admin leave. There miiiiight be a bit of a bias in that de

The problem isn't releasing a broken game. There's a huge challenge in making and releasing games and meeting a specific quality bar. That said, knowing you have a broken game and saying it's great is extremely avoidable and

You have a reasonable take. (I'm still not sure my own position on this stuff.) I'm not pushing back on the idea that we can discuss the ethics here, only the extremely hyperbolic take of the OP.

I interpreted the poster saying "hacking parler is close to lynching", which is what I was responding to.

These folks had their private messages exposed. In no way is that "close to lynching". Depending on what the user posted, they might be embarrassed, lose their jobs, or end up in court. We can have a reasonable discussion about

Research actually backs up that deplatforming does reduce audience sizes for an outlet. Which makes sense of you believe that some listeners will simply not have the interest in jumping over to a new platform. Repeat several times and wit

Yeah? In Denmark you can be fined for language that is insulting or degrading. Germany bans political parties. In Italy speech against the honor and prestige of the president is forbidden. South Korea strictly limits speech around elections

You can absolutely love comfortably and normally in the US without Facebook or Twitter. It's more challenging to avoid Amazon entirely, but you can easily avoid supporting them directly.

That'd ban everyone. Is there a country that permits fully free speech? Certainly not the US. What about Germany? So now you are back in the position of making a judgement call about whose laws permit free enough speech. There's n

I don't see a problem with your question. Yes, if Amazon gives you 24 hours, then you move somewhere else. What's your concern? Do you think AWS should be required to host violent insurrectionists?

I suggest you read more history. Sudden violent events have, time after time, been used to increase authoritarian control. I can absolutely see a line that starts with "we need to get the Senate safe, also we're going to give emer

So, the only content that a company should be able to remove should be illegal content? Think through that a bit. There is tons of content that we remove from services constantly that isn't illegal.

That's an answer to a different question. You and I might agree there, but that's not an answer to the question I asked.

Wait, should Amazon be obligated to host an app being used to organize anti-government violence?

It's not accurate, unfortunately. Reform is as ambiguous as defund. Do you mean totally eradicate and then reform a department? Or do you mean just telling them "do better"? Are you talking about re-forming the police or refo

Yeah, I tried to not list too many events that 'only' resulted in maiming, loss of sight, or permanent injury, because the parent poster specifically called out deaths. But yes, there were many incidents like you described where t
