The statement Apple made that most people are referring to was "As we've said all along, we would welcome Epic's return to the App Store if they agree to play by the same rules as everyone else." so it doesn't seem

Joe Biden has called for 230 to be revoked immediately. I would think that counts.

I read stuff on FB occasionally but almost never post. The last time I posted anything I was instantly logged out because apparently my single comment was "unusual activity on my account."

Did Google change how they do this recently? Because I'm not seeing what you describe. All I see is a headline and an image without any snippet at all.

He could have the commerce department put TikTok on the Entity List, which would prohibit all US companies from doing business with them. It would be unprecedented though because putting a company on the Entity List is almost always tied t

The video didn't just suggest that it might be an effective treatment, it claimed that hydroxychloroquine is a cure . "This virus has a cure. It's called hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and Zithromax. I know people want to talk ab

I was viewing it on mobile, where it's still very deemphasized. Edit: To be fair, you're right that on desktop Google could show curated content without pushing search results off the page. It's a lot harder to do on mobile,

But this website also deemphasizes search results in favor of curated answers, just like Google.

It was a while ago, but I remember Google maps being far better than any other map service when it first launched.

Twitter could put "Everything trump says is false!" underneath every Trump tweet and it would still be perfectly legal.

Well the fact check they added is their own content, so of course they would be liable for it. But it's still constitutionally protected speech.

Yeah, that's basically what it does. An ES module is just a js file that can be imported by other js files with the "import X from 'module.js'" syntax. This is different from CommonJS modules which use the "var

I haven't run into it yet so I'm not sure about this, but I believe it does have a way to combine shared dependencies into a single shared js file.

Sort of. What they're talking about is the time it takes to rebuild during your dev-cycle, when you will typically be editing 1 or 2 typescript files and then refreshing your browser. In this case N is the total number of files in the

I started using Snowpack just last week, but I'm not even using the dev server or the bundler part. All I really needed was its ability to convert npm packages into single-file ES modules. Once everything is an ES module you can just

When I hear "infinite scroll" I think of the way Facebook or Reddit just keeps loading new content as I scroll. But this article is really mostly about the sorry state of advertising on the web, and talks about sites that just ha

Can you explain how? The article lists WhatsApp as an example of an interactive computer service that is covered by section 230 immunity. Is it because WhatsApp is purely a messaging service without curation or moderation and so the law w

Why does it matter if they have an editor?

by elpool2 7y ago
Section 230 protects them from being liable for user generated content regardless of if they editorialize or not.

I don’t see how people are concluding it’s a slap on the wrist that won’t change their behavior. FB is basically just guilty of lax security practices. The fine doesn’t need to be a large percentage of their total revenue to affect change

That guide says "consent should not be bundled up as a condition of service unless it is necessary for that service". But what does "necessary for that service" mean? I suspect that "we can't make money unles

I do! The blue ball machine started when someone on SA posted a template gif which other people used to make their own tile of the machine. You just had to make sure the balls entered and exited in the same spot. I made the one where the ba

Are you saying that all websites protected by section 230 should be required to be neutral, and not be allowed to filter out content they don't like? Or just Google because they have so much power?

Surely there's some sort of "autopilot does not work on all roads" disclaimer, right? That's why you're supposed to keep your hands on the wheel and pay attention.

What is the incentive exactly? What do they really gain by having such crappy security practices, other than just not having to spend the time and money to improve security?

How do the people buying votes make sure that the voter is voting the way they want? Do they not have a secret ballot?

Yeah, I guess it all depends on whether or not the participants knew what they were signing up for. If Facebook said install this we will pay you to monitor your location, internet traffic, and app usage then there really shouldn't be

I don't understand why this is all that controversial either. Is it really any different than what Nielson does with set meters to capture people's TV watching behavior?

As long as you file your taxes separately, you can get married and still have the public service loan payments be based only on her income. (though I think it depends on what kind of payment plan you're on)
