The article does its best to avoid the phrases "free speech" and "censorship". They get only a single, off-hand mention, as part of someone else's position.

You're right, sorry. I was going by the summary in the search results. I should have linked one of the following instead: "It aims to reframe the country’s history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of bl

You assume advertising somehow helps the economy, but it is probably the reverse. If business A buys ads, it's competitor B is forced to do the some, or be slowly edged out of the market. Like peacock plumes, ads are mostly a tax that

I should clarify the parent post - when they said "types of ads", what they really meant is the content . The 1st amendment forbids the government from discriminating on the content of a message, but they can restrict messaging i

Of course it is. If pressed, they will surely find a justification for it in reducing spam and bots. Less defensible is why they would wait to get a phone number until after you make an account. And of course, try not to compare it with t

I think these days, Twitter will suspend your account immediately after sing-up, for "suspicious activity", and require a phone number to re-enable it.

Merely informing you of a bad photo would provide the same value. No need for enforcement.
164.
by deogeo 7y ago
That doesn't clarify much. Is this some kind of official, government-sanctioned kiosk, whose approval of a photo carries some sort of final authority, and it doesn't just pass the photo on to the passport office? Because otherwise

Why does a photo kiosk enforce passport photo requirements?

I'd just like to note, this article is being downweighted very heavily. At the time of writing, it's 3 hours old with 77 points, yet it's in 97th place - 4th page, among day old articles with tens of points. On the other ha

Under our Constitution, anonymous pamphleteering is not a pernicious, fraudulent practice, but an honorable tradition of advocacy and of dissent. Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. [..] It thus exemplifies the purpose

Unfortunately, this is quickly coming to the West as well. I believe twitter, facebook, imgur, and gmail (and I'm sure I missed many others) all require phone number verification, and most countries require some sort of ID to get a pho

I'm arguing it is advantageous for groups that discriminate, but aren't discriminated against. Good is a moral judgement that doesn't enter the picture.

by deogeo 7y ago
Too bad, because that's what other groups do, putting those that don't at a disadvantage. And I should add - you speak as if discrimination against nativists is just a hypothetical. But it is already a fact: In a survey, a third o

I didn't mean this as a slippery slope example (though that certainly applies), but as an example of the same thing, just to a greater degree. If we're not okay with that , then why is this okay? It's the same kind of impo

Then other groups will exploit you for unreciprocated cooperation, as described in the articles I linked. You won't be able to differentiate candidates that truly share your values, and those that share them only as long as it benefits

Is this okay, even assuming it is true? I'm sure they could improve security somewhat using some form of remote attestation, so (hypothetically) only non-jailbroken phones and PCs with UEFI signed by a trusted (by Google) key could log

Warm fuzzy feelings, and scientific results, both point to in-group preference being advantageous for members of the group [1,2,3]. I'm sure now that you're aware of these results, you'll update your beliefs accordingly - eit

It's not a definition of country , but your country. It can still be a country, but if you share it with the whole world, it's not yours .

The corporation would, but the government forces it to prioritize its own citizens. Because the citizens of any country expect it to look out for their own interests ahead of others. If your country is nothing but an open marketplace where
