Both are valid criticisms of Twitter. However, Jack could simply state what they intend to do about these problems. Instead he obfuscates, stonewalls, says things that sound vaguely like plans of action, but increasingly look like a tactic

Jack's continued unwillingness to state in concrete terms what Twitter intends to change sure looks a lot like he's trying to deflect scrutiny around censorship while still engaging in it.

There seems to be a tremendous opportunity brewing for censorship-free service providers. If the Terms of Service were such that they only prevented illegal activity, spam, and other automated abuse being conducted on their platform, and le

All of these semantic games miss the point of the term "minority". It's not meant to mean "numerical minority"; it's meant as a euphemism for "non-white person". When you read it that way, all of thes

There's nothing wrong with having conventional political opinions, and I wasn't really critiquing them as such. Again, my point was really about Feuerstein's weird psychology, in that he thought cramming his database progra

I realize this is from 2000 but why would anyone think this person's trite and wholly conventional political opinions are in any way interesting or noteworthy? Strange psychology this guy has, like he's just trying to rattle off a

What exactly is the point of a having a country at all, if not to accrue unfair advantages to its citizens? And I assume you have a problem with all other countries unfairly "opportunity hoarding" for their own people too, not jus

This is correct. There is a lot being made about Google trying to enforce ideological purity, and not enough being made about why Google feels obligated to have this company culture in the first place. I speculate (without much evidence)

Why is that any concern of the US government? They are under no obligation to ensure convenience or expediency for citizens of other countries.

That's a clever way to disguise your opposition to free speech, just categorize perspectives as morally "wrong" versus "not-wrong", and declare that only "not-wrong" viewpoints can be heard.

This is rather hysterical. Anyone other than pro-EU, pro-mass-immigration parties win and it's "RIP [country]"?

Not sure what your point is here. You've never tried it, so you don't know why people enjoy it? So why don't you try it and find out? There's a reason drinking is a popular activity all over the world. It's a lot of

What does "margininalizing immigrants" refer to, vis-a-vis policy and enforcement of immigration law? Trump's stance on H1-B is quite clear from his policy papers, speeches, as well as those policy documents written by his ma

Both of you are correct. "White" as a political signifier does find plenty of usage in pre-20C writings and discourse (stuff like Thomas Carlyle's "Occasional Discourse on the Negro Question" for example), but it wa
