You are simply uninformed. It is well documented that ISIS recruited people through Facebook and Twitter, and even YouTube. Remember: before the terrorists get those encrypted apps, they need to be radicalized first. That step is done on

Not sure why the downvotes. This essentially is the same as my take. This is the inevitable result of pushing your brand as "no content moderation" but not actually having any skills or plans on what to do when it eventually caugh

Actually I think the posters who make that false equivalence are often of Chinese sympathy. Whether they know they are doing false equivalence is a matter of debate. I've heard people compare the imprisonment, re-education, forced labo

This argument is at best equivocating. Being in prison is not the same thing as being a slave, and by suggesting that they are the same thing, you do more harm than good. The existence of prisons are not going away, but we can do away with

Who ever cares about the other questions? Q12 is insane - ALL business strategy (short and long term), research AND development, marketing AND sales, AND any plans to create OR cancel any existing products, as well as all presentations to a

I think both assertions are wrong: Regulators still have no real conception of how any of this technology works, and you can watch the congressional hearings with Facebook for evidence that mostly they didn't really have a clue what to

Haha, couldn't agree more. Not to mention the "hacks" they use to artificially lower entropy of repeated characters. So the password 1010101010101011101101000000010111011011101001010001001101011011 is calculated as only havin

A lot of attention gets spent on the violent end of modern culture: incels, white-fragility, MGTOWs, etc. Academics suggest that a lot of these come from feelings of a lost place in society. I get the feeling that the emotional spectrum the

This sentiment is backwards. You seem to be implying that the children wouldn't be hungry if he wasn't granted a free franchise to run and profit from. Obviously you are trying to imply that it was the "saving every penny&quo

Ok, so your gut feeling vs some scientific research? Could you try to debate the facts instead of a strawman journalist? Why do you say this journalist is lying, but lack of evidence from other journalists must mean this one is wrong? Pir

I don't think the need is at Apple, but rather, for personal bodyguards to the CEO. This appears to be the reason Facebook was involved in the same scheme.

Counterpoint: The lawsuit isn't alleging that Apple doesn't do the same thing. It only alleges that the data is more than necessary. So the case is purely about whether it's too much logging data, not whether there is any l

I believe they are saying that it happened in 2018, not today. It's possible that it was a mistake, and corrected, but it should still concern you that it was done to begin with. Telecoms should not be the arbiters of what content you

Also, Google Play Services isn't Google Play. "Services" actually encompasses nearly every single app on the device, since it's more or less a library rather than an app. In which case the suit would incorrectly be blami

The war on drugs was tied specifically to anti-communist and anti-hippie movements. You can argue that black community was only one type of minority being policed. Still, marijuana was given such disproportionate higher punishments largely

Just because the USA uses the war on drugs to harass people by skin color doesn't mean you need to assume that is the only reason possible. The USA tends to think of all white people at the same, but europeans don't. In europe, re

Don't be confused. Packages are lost, and found, every day. The real question is about what they claim to be the contents of the package. Which as of today, is still unknown. At this point, 4 days from the election, you should be espe

I said there is no real argument against it. I'll go ahead and make the unfounded claim that situations like the one above are mathematical curiosities, and nothing more. True voter preferences do not align in a circle.
