Failing to overcome the network effect unfortunately. My (perhaps naive) hope for this copyright directive was that it would add a cost or limiting factor to the network effect, i.e. after your platform grows past a certain size you are acc

It's almost unbelievable that they want to remove the single piece of protection that makes Article 13 remotely acceptable to me: exemption for SMEs. If many small European internet platforms were allowed to grow in place of the existi

"There's always one" is a common rhetorical device whose meaning is closer to "There's often one, and I easily forget the times there's not." I don't think the parent's intention was to make such

As was mentioned in an article [0] linked in another comment, men who are unemployed and have given up are typically low self-esteem and susceptible to depression. If you've met one, you won't hear them say they've given up.

Facebook, like many large internet companies, buys their IP blocks outright, so they show up under their AS number [0]. Facebook seems to have 3 AS numbers [1,2,3] and that IP appears in [3] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

This cascade of privacy scandals seems quite well timed on Facebook's part; if all the blatant issues get publicized then "resolved" just before GDPR's May 25th start then they can extract the maximum value while facing

Valve have traditionally taken a hands-off approach to the communities surrounding its games; I would be surprised to see their name among the list and I like how they do things currently. Though I have experienced toxicity in CS:GO, it has

Tor was /targeted/ by the NSA, but I haven't read anything that makes me believe it (or onion routing in general) has been compromised. I get the feeling tor has proven so effective that the only reasonable attack against it

This was covered in a recent kaspersky paper[1], which I found in [2], where it is termed "fourth-party collection". The pdf gives a more complete description on page 2 (I found the increasing level of separation between collector

My concern is that Cloudflare's decision is based on some generous interpretation of an otherwise innocuous post. If there was a direct quote of what DS said, I could accept it, but otherwise I am left concerned that Cloudflare's

Many social media sites are headquartered in the US, so private accounts there are completely open to an NSL (or the DHS' equivalent). Information-gathering doesn't have to comprehensively cover every site to yield results.

That could be the most interesting part of this case; if access to an appstore is essential for a service, can Google/Apple forever remain the "Default Providers" while still enforcing their own rules? I have a feeling that t

It was quite possibly gamergate in 2014. I don't think dragging up the whole culture war here is valuable, but clearly a large portion of the gaming community were left feeling mistrustful of the gaming media. That war continues as bac
