My question isn't why they blocked Al Jazeera. Why doesn't Saudi Arabia block Snap? Snap has a reputation as a nude pictures app. Saudi Arabians are offended by too much ankle showing under the burka. It seems like Snap should be

We definitely do where I work. I'm really, really surprised to hear they do not where you work. A multibillion dollar company like Amazon, who runs half the internet with AWS, does not verify dependencies? Wow. That's breathtaki

Your arguments and exaggerated claims are silly. I can point to Maven Central all day long. They're doing it right. They don't have these problems. You know who does this sort of thing? Politicians. They can't just look at a
