The title is kind of misleading. It makes it sound like she actually went to canada and was then immediately kicked out, but she did not actually go there at all. She was denied entry before she ever went, she’s contesting this, and she was

Oh yeah I agree 100%. I guess I should have also included that I have 0 faith in anything fb says, and that I believe any and all of their claims of "we care and we're working on it" are outright lies. i.e. I'm so used t

As much as I loathe the "facebook is a private company that can do whatever they want" argument, I have to admit it applies here. If I owned a store, and some guy kept coming and showing customers how to not spend any money in m

Why is everyone so caught up with the definition of "school shooting", and why isn't anyone providing any sources to back up their own personal definitions of what it means? The links below are the top 3 results when I google

My point was that not all “delete account” buttons are created equal. Some sites just have an “is_deleted” column in their user table, and will continue to use your data after you “delete” your account. I don’t think apple has any way to ch

Great point! It's definitely a step in the right direction, but my immediate thought was "what about all the sites that don't actually delete anything?" Hopefully apple makes a more user-friendly announcement about this

I deleted my account several years ago and tried to get my girlfriend at the time to do the same thing. She was in favor of the idea, but facebook would show her a bunch of people with a message like "but what about all these people, w

This is pretty cool on its own but the fact you did it before the internet using a newspaper is very interesting. I really struggle to imagine how I'd do anything without looking online.

I think people take issue with rights that must be provided by some external party because if said external party is not providing said rights, what do they really mean? Part of the argument is that human rights should only include "ru

My tinfoil theory about the outage yesterday is that it was done on purpose, as a way to create an opportunity to "hide" as many internal documents as possible without anyone noticing.

Sort of, yeah. Typically a DDoS attack is done on purpose, this is a side effect of so many clients utilizing retry strategies for failed requests. But in both cases, a lot of requests are being made, which is how a DDoS attack works.

The article links to several sites that all make the same claim that "women only earn X cents for every dollar a man earns." My understanding is that this statistic is calculated by looking at all full-time working men and women a

I'm honestly very surprised there's no mention of banksy's shredder stunt in the piece. I would have thought an artist would somehow try to portray themselves as being as cool as banksy. https://www.youtube.com&#x2

I am not arguing either way, I'm just trying to explain how some people see the world. I also don't really understand the point of your comment, because of course there are irrational people who have all sorts of beliefs.
