I see no problem here. There aren't excluding certain races from purchasing their products, merely excluding them from seeing the advertising for it. If I'm a white male, why would I want to see advertisements for skincare produc

Companies love open salaries. Why? They can now pay a developer with 5 years of experience and the developer with one year experience the same low salary for the same position. Salary should be based on the individual (relevant experience

They can get away with it because they have an endless supply of intelligent engineers that want to work there. It's the same effect we see when there is a monopoly over the marketplace.

There will be no political punishment for the Democrats. They will shift the blame to the Republicans and blame it on Bush somehow. I remember when Obamacare was being proposed and all of us against it were ridiculed for thinking it would

Why do we even bother to have libel laws? I've seen so many lies about Donald Trump in the media (especially the fact-checking sites), that if we actually upheld these laws, they would be bankrupt.

It sounds great in theory, but if you aren't careful, you will come back with less motivation and skills than you had before you left. I lived in Asia for a few years as a digital nomad of sorts. My only means of income was freelance

It does in a sense because anyone operating a website with advertisers will now have to cater to the opinions of the advertiser, or they will lose their ability to operate. On the other hand, I don't think that very many people would w

Did you even read my comment? In my hypothetical situation, Airbnb was owned by a communist party member. A person said something negative about the company and had his/her overall score reduced.
