You mean beyond taking it down after it's reported? Surely they already do that. Are you suggesting that in order for them to be allowed to turn down Stormfront's business they must take on the legal obligation of actively screeni

Another "bad Google support on chromebooks" anecdote: I bought a Chromebook (forget which one) direct from Google. It was DOA, wouldn't even turn on. So I went through the whole return process and a few weeks later I got a re

Pretty lazy piece, mostly full of easy jabs and containing very little argumentation. "Bodega isn't just an offensive idea, it's an idea so bad and obviously worthless it's maddening." I can (academically) understan

Why fall back to this level of abstraction? We know the facts of this case. Do you think this particular decision was a good one or not?

Why were people lying about rescuers being in danger? Just trolls? I think we would have heard by now if there were pirates out there stealing rescue boats at gunpoint.
