Sure I guess, you keep telling me I'm not getting it and then misrepresenting what I'm saying so I'm just going to assume you either don't understand or are just having a conversation in bad faith. I guess your argument

That's not how that works. The point was that 10 in 10 Americans in that town had to follow the private company's restrictions because they controlled the entire town. What you're saying has nothing to do with the analogy GP

Neither of those things are owned and moderated by a private company, and private companies definitely don't orient their product on the basis of neutrality.

The case you linked is about an entire town that was owned by one company, and that the ability to remove someone from your sidewalk for distributing materials doesn't apply in a traditional sense when one single private owner can esse

What if a large platform has strict posting rights to cultivate a specific community standard that has nothing to do with the law? If my power-washing forum gets to over 10m users I'm now legally obligated to publish everything that d

The platform is private, so the 'individual author' isn't having their free speech restricted by being restricted from a single private platform. If someone gets banned from Twitter for posting statements inciting violence,

Yeah, I don't know anyone like that and I am skeptical that a significant amount of people exist who do. This article is pretty lacking in substance. I certainly know people who strongly prefer iOS personally and frequently remind ev

Sorry, I don't see any value in engaging with someone who's going to be intentionally obtuse about the semantics of hate speech to justify their regressive and objectively disgusting opinions.

Oh I agree with you, I was referring to the person you were replying to. The idea that a private company making decisions about users on their platform is censorship is ridiculous to begin with. 1 in 10 Americans use Twitter, to say that

Hate speech is absolutely not subjective. And further, the counterexamples you gave don't really support your argument. There's no moral high ground to claim when the opposition has repeatedly said things disparaging minorities a

I'm all for nuance, but I can't imagine this being the hill people want to die on RE: censorship. As long as the calls for violence aren't overt we're cool with them? I might be in the minority but I don't have a

Well I must say, after coming back to check the thread later on I've learned a lot about HP's awful business practices. Based on the article (and the fact that I've had the same HP printer for over a decade now) I had no ide

Calling out partisans for hypocrisy is commendable, using a weak false equivalence to do it when there isn't any basis for it makes you look mad.

I don't think the comparison to digital streaming services holds up, there are plenty of subscription services that send you products and it's pretty silly to say that you don't own products that are being sent to you. It&#x

Yeah there are a crazy amount of comments here that can be summed up as 'we make the product so we are above office politics' and attitudes like that are a huge part of the problem.

Apple is the one looking to expand into health and wellness. The data Apple can harvest is going to become more and more valuable. They're rolling out home speakers and the Apple Watch is increasingly becoming a DYI diagnostic tool.

Nothing very interesting but there's 3 replies I can see, you have to click on the body of the tweet to expand the replies, whereas clicking on the comments button starts your own reply. Yeah, Twitter is terrible.

I often wonder what kind of impulse drives someone to think, believe, and then confront others with their insanely regressive opinions. At least today I have a concrete answer. In case you're still confused, there's this thing ca

I mean comments like this are the reason there's such a stigma against medication. It's kind of ignorant to say that "psychiatry is broken", "my meds ruined my life", or "I made it through school without
