Well, if all the decisions are given to the AI, it's harder to establish mens rea. They can just claim they never intended to discriminate anyone but that it was only an "unfortunate glitch" in the system. Of course, this def

In that case there is a human being who is legally responsible for the decision that is made. I have no problem with that. If the person is "just nodding", with possibly illegal consequences, that person can be sued.

What was the lie? Fauci said his honest opinion based on the facts and situation at the time. He didn't comment on whether the masks work. Fauci said whether people should be wearing them because of covid at the time , when there was

I was replying to a post that praised Discords UX. I agree, it's mostly excellent, but there are points that deserve critique, which prompted this response. If you feel like that's whining, well, as an UX designer I'd welcome

Well that seemed to erase the "red dot without number" problem, but it still seems I get "red dot with number" that I have to go manually clear even when it's obvious that nobody has mentioned me. Anyway, thanks for

I want to change my global settings, not server settings. I'm on dozens of Discords and join/leave them and change their order on the sidebar all the time. Going through each of them (and remembering to do it every time I join a n

In general "conservatives" seem to have a harder time following TOS on hate speech, bullying, racism, sexism etc.

Nah. The water infrastructure at my home isn't owned by a private company. I live in a state that has this radical policy that water is a human right and should not be commoditized.

It's more akin to "no shirt no service". Parler can continue using Amazon if they moderate their platform, you can put on a shirt to get a cake. You cannot change your sexuality or skin color.

Having your message broadcasted through Twitter is not a human right or essential to your survival. Also, what kind of TOS would a water company have that you can break? This example is ridiculous.

Sure, but the parent poster seems to imply that banning people who incite violence on social media is somehow a new thing or "going nuclear" with censorship. Trump got clapped not because of censorship, but because social media pl

>BigTech has just now gone nuclear in their censorship efforts Who's being censored? Twitter, Facebook etc. are private platforms and they've been banning users who break their TOS throughout their histories.

Fascists want to use laws against their detractors whenever possible, but also want none of the law apply to them. The USA could be a dictatorship if Trump were just slightly smarter.

Anti-maskers made masks political. Even people who aren't anti-mask themselves can be surrounded by a political atmosphere where wearing a mask can be construed as a political message. Also, people can get demoralized in their personal

Well, I think it is both. I find it quite cruel to kill animals. Even more cruel to breed animals just to be able to kill them later. It's quite a twisted moral towards a sentient being. No animal wants to be killed.
