Not just any service. For instance, Apple refused to assist the FBI in unlocking the iPhone belonging to one of the late prime suspects in the San Bernadino massacre. Wikileaks is refusing to co-operate with the CIA. Microsoft is resisting

One single page of vileness. No 'likes' to his posts, so not very popular. Notable is the anti-Trump sentiment. Not enough to confirm that this profile actually belonged to Robert Brower since names and profile pictures can be mis

I think your perceptions may be compromised by the 'boiled frog' effect, where the increasing authoritarianism in Germany and throughout the EU has escaped your notice because it has occurred in small increments. For instance, any

Your argument is mistaken on both counts. The smear and de-platform campaign began when Gab reported the details and profile of the synagogue murderer to law enforcement, providing them with "concrete evidence for a motive that they ca

As an upper bound, I would certainly draw the line at shutting down all of Youtube on because of the presence of particular offensive videos.

I challenge them all the time. I think it is a moral duty to monitor them and push back against them. Anonymously, of course, because I don't want one of them turning up at my front door with a chainsaw. In my experience, they are like

The full profile had been given to law enforcement before its removal from public view. It was removed, as is routine for such profiles, in order to prevent copycat murders.

Details matter. They alerted law enforcement to Robert Bowers' profile before the police or the public knew about it, and certainly before criticism from the mainstream media. They could quite plausibly covered this up seeing Gab.com d

Yes, I do. They discovered the murderer's profile and reached out to law enforcement with the details, including his chilling statement of intent. They could have silently deleted the profile and deflected criticism from themselves.

Meaning that Facebook wholly owns the infrastructure beneath its web presence, and so it cannot be taken down by a campaign targeting a weak link in its chain of supply?

Systemprofile just hosts configuration files including one which links to the Desktop folder. The OS is either not finding the data or is unable to read it. The actual Desktop folder is probably still present in its usual location.

You mean like the way the natural numbers can be built from Church numerals? Are you saying that nothing exists, or that there can be no true knowledge of reality?

It's the other way around. Rousseau's children were victims of his utter selfishness. His abandonment of his children to almost certain death was roundly condemned by Voltaire who despised him. This caused Rousseau social embarras

Given Orwell's extended definition it looks like Orwell is actually talking about to collectivism. It is not clear why he chose the more specific term 'nationalism' over the more general term 'collectivism'.
