   Since they are basically the only manufacturer, when Apple "rejects" the price hike, what options does Apple have?

   Except hopefully they won't deplatform and take your emails unlike Google, if their AI doesn't like your email content

   I actually think that Cloudflare is setting up the foundation of Chinese style (but privately outsourced in the US case) censorship machinery in the US. Between their AI erroneously flexing its power, Kiwifarms scandal and similar, they ar

   Is it safe to have an Android phone? What if they decide to deplatform your Google account associated with it. What about trusting your number to Google Fi? I have both and I am nervous.

    Then if the site promptly deleted allegedly unlawful content, why was it deplatformed by CF?

    I am not a Kiwifarms user, but since it's now available at the new domain (and according to CF, KF is not cooperating) the threats should still be there. I cannot find them. Can you please link those threats? Otherwise this lends me to

    The problem here is that DDoS mitigation requires centralization. There aren't cheap alternatives. Same goes for any utility. Would it be okay for Visa to permanently turn off all your current and future credit and ATM cards if you use

    So then why did you become the liability decision maker on behalf of your customer, if you were not required by the law? After many sales emails that we ignored, your sales guy found and called me on my personal cell when I was on vacations

    Well I run a service with 100 million registered users and this is why we don't use Cloudflare. We use VeriSign BGP DDoS mitigation which is more expensive than Cloudflare (about 27k per year with our traffic) but i don't have the

    "Our" as in Robespierre's Committee of Public Safety concern? What do you know about hosting expenses? I have been running a website that you know and use with 100m users since 2004!

    Getting money for running websites is also non-mandatory? Are we going to fund them from the government 5-year plans yet? Our hosting expenses alone are 8k per month.

    That means they have not given up on the whole direction of on-device image scanning, the idea of clandestinely reporting your device images [1], that they (temporarily) abandoned due to a backlash. There must be an internal censorship stru
