We don't know why salesforce did this. The RNC until now has not been denied anything from big tech that I recall. To me, this likely means someone in the RNC wanted to send out an email organizing an angry protest. Salesforce absol

I haven't used Parler, but from what I read there were loads of people actively calling for violence. Sure, there's no set line, but Amazon shouldn't have to support that if they don't want to.

Isn't that exactly what the above comment is saying?

I don't think it's fair to lump everyone into a pile like that. I agree with the decision of tech companies not to host Parler and disagree with leaking its contents. The comments section on any forum is made of a variety of peop

Twitter is not a monopoly. There are plenty of media companies, social or not, that he could use to carry his message. He has a freaking press office.

Suspend means to literally hold up above the ground. A suspension bridge is called that because something is "above" it holding it up.

Donald Trump was the one saying the 2016 election had massive voter fraud. He was saying it before, after, and during that election. His words in 2016 and 2017 we're much worse in spreading distrust in the electoral system than any d

I don't know much about parler, but Reddit just removed r/donaldtrump and banned the most egregious mod of r/conspiracy. It's also a much bigger site, so there are going to be more people talking on it, but they are at

I'm not accusing you of anything. I just want to make sure that it's clear why proactively preventing vote fraud when there historically has been much isn't as simple as it sounds. My parents are all about voter IDs and othe

The problem is that the countermeasures people want to put in place strip people of their ability to vote legitimately. For example, voter id laws are put into place to prevent voter fraud, that you admit isn't happening, but strip te

But that's not what he's saying. He's not making any sort of transition or explanation for why people should go home. It's clearly tacked on afterwards, and the protestors know it. Then they can blame it on "the d

I mean, they could also be agents, i.e., Americans acting on the behalf of a foreign power. I guarantee the Russians are at least encouraging this on social media. (Though I also believe this is predominantly a domestic problem)

This is not necessarily true. Just because we don't use as many miles of a particular transportation does not mean the economy is shrinking. Rail still makes up a huge portion of cargo transportation in the United States, we just don

Nation-state prevents confusing with lower level states. State is the more appropriate term, but it would cause a lot of confusion in the US.

Saying that Russian hacking influenced the election is demonstrably true. Whether it caused Trump to win is not. I don't remember anyone actually saying that Trump would not have won without Russia, though I could be wrong about that

You can't say "the democrats" were claimed ng fraud. As far as I am aware, no major democrat questioned the legitimacy of the election or claimed widespread fraud. Iirc, the only notable person who claimed widespread fraud

But all of these comments are fundamentally not helpful either. They all basically boil down to calling FireEye unreliable, which is fine if you actually back it up with discussion. But that's not what they are doing. They just asser

Is anyone getting the sense that there are a lot of weird comments in this thread? Why are there so many comments doubting the idea that FireEye could have been hacked by a nation state actor? It's just really weird that so many peopl

They are seeking attention by saying they got hacked, when their entire reason for existence is to defend networks?
