He explicitly said he did know the price. The price changed.

It's not just specialists that are expensive, though. The ER is expensive. You cannot price compare during a medical crisis. It's also weird to think that someone with a rare, degenerative illness should have to evaluate whether t

Or you could just hold the platforms liable for the advertising they host, and leave it up to the platforms to decide how best to weigh the trade-offs between that liability and their, to date, woefully underwhelming moderation.

Yes, but you can sue the organization itself. However, our laws mean that Google, Meta, etc. are not legally responsible for the content of the ads they run. The creator of the ad is. And it is shockingly easy to construct a legal entity th

I think we can all agree that, wherever it is drawn right now, it is not drawn correctly.

Just so I'm clear, this article's contention is that, because Apple doesn't restrict in-app browsers in the same way they do iOS Safari, they're just pretending to be mad at Facebook?

Maybe, but it's not like McDonald's comes out look great here.

Could the government direct librarians to purchase only Bibles, with explicit bans on purchasing the Quran?

The first amendment cannot force the government to buy specific books, but it can force the government not to not buy specific books. And sure, that's weird, but it's just how the First Amendment works.

Is this comment sarcastic?

Very few people who rant against the liberal media actually consume much content from them.

There is no other crime where we'd "refuse to believe" the allegations, at least in a social context. If someone was accused of murder, or theft, in most cases, social stigma would be part of that. An admittedly sometimes unf

I'm not seeing anything in the post with any legal resolution or "proof" the accusations were false. Whatever case he had was settled out-of-court. It doesn't seem like the accusing parties were asked or agreed to take a
