Appreciate your comments. "We allow all legal free speech*" has the benefit of being very succinct. But when someone says, "hey one of your customers is encouraging violence and hostility against my family" and you keep

Isn’t the operative question here, what should the ToS include in the first place? Also: I don’t really agree. Enforcement of ToS is inherently political too.

You're describing a philosophy called Free Speech Absolutism. It's a perfectly reasonable stance and I get where you're coming from, but it is not objectively more correct than any other approach. And it's definitely a c

Cloudflare loses DMCA safe harbor protections if they do not follow the law and disable content after receiving a notification with all the required elements. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the DMCA doesn't say anything about verify

Sorry but continuing to host Daily Stormer is not neutral either. There is no neutral and apolitical option on this issue.

I think the article correctly places most of the blame on the DMCA. It's a bad law and always has been. I'm not sure how much customer service and legal support one can expect from a company that you are presumably using on a Free

Upon receipt of a counter notification, the DMCA obligates them to wait at least 10 business days before restoring the content to give the original party an opportunity to sue first.

It’s an exclusive deal that prevents anyone else from offering a similar deal. Of course it reduces competition. The only question is whether it also violates the monopoly law. I’d encourage you to read the decision, I just pulled two parag

I'm pretty sure C-suite executives are not officially exempt from criminal laws that apply to everyone else, but I guess the Supreme Court may yet rule otherwise.

At the least, they would find out real fast how big those punitive damages can get when it's a repeated and willful violation. CFAA isn't a joke - there are potential criminal penalties to executives and others within the company.

If one address is getting spam I can just turn it off or filter it to the trash.

OK, so it's a passkey for sites that don't support passkeys. I'm fine with that.

It’s a bit insulting to pretend that we still have a functional legislative body capable of passing such a law. And the court could simply invent more utter nonsense to toss it out again.

How many people are using it because it's being offered at far below operating costs, even before you factor in the externalities of massive energy use?

If the application crashes in the middle of a writing a transaction, yes. You can work around this if you care to, and I don't think it's anything specific to SQLite. What happens if your application crashes in the middle writing

You could simply turn off WAL for a simple application database, if you were really worried. You lose some performance and scale, but it should work fine.

That seems clear to me. They used stolen identity information to make false unemployment insurance claims in other people’s names. The CFO bought the prepaid cards at a discount and then transferred the whole amount to the company account.

Probably related to soliciting donations (See "Businesses that are prone to abuse by fraudulent actors" on that Stripe link) A lot of payment processors do not like it when individuals (versus certified nonprofits) take donations.
