This delusional trope keeps coming up in threads. FB and Google for all their faults aren't 4chan or 8chan. They don't want to be in the business of distributing snuff films regardless of where the snuff film was made. Note how th

I agree. Reporting it would be an very odd expectation for such an event. We're not talking about a video of someone pooping or something. You are going to have: 1. Users who want to watch it. They won't report it. 2. Users who ar

It might be inferred that the Police suspect this person knew of the attack or was in some way involved, and are using this route to prosecute and/or pressure the person. That doesn't necessarily make it okay, but obviously a lot

From reading a lot of the anti censorship comments popping up around FBs activities here, it feels like it is actually partly fueled by the deplatforming actions social networks have been taking here in the US, which have been political, an

The PR would be great: “Facebook asked to block snuff film, instead decides to block entire country and continue to distribute the snuff film.” Facebook clearly don’t want to distribute snuff films, child porn, or other objectionable materi

Problem is it’s not evidence based and we know there’s not a psychological component. The PACE trial and work of Sharpe are pretty widely debunked which is why they complain of being under attack. (See links elsewhere.) Meanwhile if you go

Hi, fellow here who also meets the ME/CFS criteria. These articles in which Sharpe and Weasley pop up are always very disturbing because they cry “ow, poor me, the big mean activists are attacking science!!” And it’s surprisingly effec

I hope you’ll agree it is not an identity to be say a male attracted to other men. It’s a sexual orientation. To suggest it’s an identity is to suggest everyone’s sexual orientation is an identity and that undermines a huge amount of progr

A lot of articles on gender get the same flagging treatment. (FWIW Damore is far from uncontroversial here on HN.) I suspect sometimes the flagging treatment is because these articles can attract heated (often emotional) debate, and this mi

Huh? I think you’re confused. A US citizen who happens to be of Croatian or Polish decent is still just a US citizen. If the EU does build a database of US citizens’ lineage and then starts denying US citizens of Croatian descent entry not

So someone born in Morocco who moved to France and became a French citizen should be denied visa free entry to the US because their citizenship by your standard is actually Moroccan.
