And the only way to prevent this is for Russia to become a major meat producer and to convert northern forests into grassland, like they were before our intervention. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleistocene_Park .

I am not saying that many people use Bing. I am saying that this kind of intervention would be a big story either way, because there would be people rightfully complaining that the government actions supports monopolists position.

by chr1 6y ago
That's not really a good indicator of monopoly. If the roles of Bing and Google were reversed here, the story would have been even more newsworthy.

If they block google for real, it may be a good opportunity for something like https://voteflux.org/ to take off. Because many unhappy people trying to tell the government why exactly they are unhappy is a perfect situation

There are many species of mosquitos, only a few of them bite people, even fewer live in cities and less than a handful transmit disease. We could start by killing the latter group.

There are 0 people killed in Europe because we killed all malaria mosquitos with DDT and by draining swamps. Gene drive is a much more humane method in comparison.

We almost have a method that can work on almost any insect, https://www.nature.com/articles/nbt.4245 and we should definitely apply it to most mosquitos, and many agricultural pests especially in cases when it is an in

Different people have different interests, so using just one group as etalon, would leave most people unsatisfied. It would be better to let users choose their own groups of "good" actors, either explicitly or based on upvote simi

In a way it's similar, because people with different viewpoints have to live together, and therefore any economic supply chain has to go through ideological boundaries multiple times. If people go full on economic sanctions war, trying

90 mln people following Trump and watching twitter adds were paying for his free speech. Parler paying to aws was paying for its users free speech. The question is not about paying costs, but about people trying to use business as a weapon

Most likely explanation is that Amazon simply doesn't want problems with the party that controls the whole government now, and was threatening to split them up. So banning parler was essentially a form of lobbying.

This is really great, can be a first step towards making a site for more structured way to debate. Kind of similar to kialo ( https://www.kialo.com/the-benefits-of-absolute-free-speech-o... )

If twitter had done this for advertisers and the customers, their price of their shares would not fall.

Was Parler blocked because Amazon did not like it, or because Democrats do not like it, and they have full control of government, and can pass arbitrary laws e.g. to break up Amazon? Edit: an unfairly flagged comment in reply to this says &

They most likely misunderstand what is being proposed, most people think the proposal is to limit section 230 only to services that do not censor user content.

The question is not about what is defined as protected class, but why we needed to start protect religious freedom. Allowing people to escalate disagreements in one issue into sabotage of each other, leads to hostility and all out war.

Russia already have tried to ban Telegram, but due to help from AWS it turned out that the whole internet needs to be banned, so eventually they gave up. Not saying that Youtube will choose the confrontation the way Telegram did, but it doe

Thank you, i was misremembering the description of how someone wanted to change section 230 as the actual section 230.

This is not a good argument, as it implies that if science finds a way to change sexual preference then the protection should be revoked. Also political views can not be changed easily either, it requires exposure to facts during a long tim

And several years ago when Putin was trying to ban Telegram Amazon was the one providing servers and ips to prevent it. So the only way to be safe from censorship is to use services hosted in an unfriendly/uninterested country. Maybe t
