EDIT: It seems like the sites can't be held responsible because they didn't create the false information, they just disseminated it. Leaving up the wrong part of my comment for context. The sites that ran articles quoting the ga

Legalising it can also have unintended side effects. When prostitution is legalised, the demand often outstrips the supply, leading to an increase in human trafficking. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_

What difference does it make if someone willingly gives up your personal information, or someone is tricked into giving up your information? Either way, people who didn't consent had their information collected by a political campaign

His administration benefited a ton from Facebook. You can look up his old campaign manager's tweets about Facebook telling them that they were on their side, and that if anyone else had scraped as much info as they did, they would hav

Considering that they haven't perfected the "don't accelerate into stationary objects" algorithm, I'm not sure I trust this in an area with a lot of pedestrian traffic.

I think that only works if you tell people that will hold you accountable, like if you tell your spouse that you'll mow the lawn, they'll hold you to it. If you're posting "I'm going to lose weight this year!"

I normally buy clothes that are targeted towards blue collar workers since they are typically designed to be more resistent to wear and tear, at the expense of not looking very stylish. Since I work a desk job, they last a long time. My b

I had a co-worker who lived in Baltimore, and he'd act like he was shocked that co-workers from the suburbs thought Baltimore wasn't a good place to live or visit. Then he'd also tell us stuff like "when you visit my ho

Yeah, you're probably fine. A lot of the traits that make men attractive are very difficult to convey through a dating site, so a lot of men get passed on unless they're super good looking. It looks like the original blog has be

OkCupid did a study on online dating, and men really do get the short end of the stick. They found that when a group of women have their attractivness rated by men, the results fit a bell curve where most women are considered average, and

I don't know if you've ever met a child, but informing them of risks and letting them make their own decisions isn't always the best idea. I don't know how many times I've been at restaurants and heard parents say

Acting members of Congress can do it in a roundabout way, as long as they do it while speaking on the floor. Anything they says becomes part of the Congressional Record, which is available to the public and de facto unclassified.

The rebels said that they had help from allies inside Saudi Arabia, maybe it was people who wanted to do economic damage, kind of like an over-the-top version of a news article designed to hurt stock prices.
