In Italy (and I guess in many other places) laws are effectively commits , not documents/ files. The actual law is often implicit in the result of the successive modifications each new law applies to the existing ones. Which is terrib

I'm pretty sure that Facebook, Twitter etc. have absolutely no will to engage themselves in politics, at least openly. They'd be perfectly happy to focus on technological issues and ways to make more money through advertising. Ver

So far, I didn't see evidence that it even exists. Tiktok denies that such material exists, and so far I think there's only the parent's statement. Let's see what the investigation will find out.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. In 2000 there was a big debate over whether that was the first year of the new century. I sincerely thought that it had been settled long ago. Year 0 never existed (Christ is conventionally born on year

The reason for the ban is that the tweet violated Twitter's policy against "dehumanisation". The text of the tweet is the following: "Study shows that in the process of eradicating extremism, the minds of Uygur women in

Trolling, are you?

Hmm.. That makes me wonder. Do "free speech" rights apply when it's not your speech? I mean, Twitter is not an editor, whatever it publishes is not its speech, it's someone else's.

Trolling, at least in its original meaning, is not "spreading misinformation". It's saying things for the sake of provoking anger in other people that you despise or you just don't connect emotionally with. So it makes

The "ok sign is a white power symbol" thing started as trolling on 4chan. It doesn't mean anything apart from being useful to infuriate other people. You're being trolled.

My issue with the term "dog whistle" is that it's being abused to attribute nefarious meaning to just anything you want irrespectively of the actual content of the message- by definition the "dog whistle" is somethi

Being confrontational doesn't mean being violent. Non-violent ways to be confrontational can include refusing to disperse, not staying within the previously agreed spaces (if any), occupying public space, harassing the police, etc. And

I find it pretty hard to believe. I wonder if the statistic takes in account factors like the size of the protest (large sizes alone can be seen as threatening) or the attitude of protesters- I imagine that left-wing protesters can be more

Fair as well, but then you have to decide: it's either the democratically elected government that sets the boundaries of the free speech, or it's private monopolies that do the same, without anyone's oversight. For some reaso

It's actually trivially possible but the entropy for each shard will be abysmally low, requiring very long (60 words+) passphrases. So you're right, there's no trivial way (by hand) to split a 24 passphrase in 5 shards. Howev

If you hack a source and send it to Wikileaks, do you qualify as "security researcher"? This is what we're taking about.
