They don't ban all political content, or all expressions of sexuality or romance, they do for a very specific subset of issues which just so happen to be discriminatory. Like I said elsewhere in the thread: Jews are controversial, a ba

You've at least heard of (if not used) a programming language heavily inspired by Miranda: Haskell. A lot of things about Miranda were really interesting; it reflects modern languages in some ways, but looks completely foreign in other

TikTok doesn't ban all political content, and you're spreading misinformation.

Not just tech-adjacent political content, but intellectually-stimulating political content, too.

It's not entirely vague. Dupes are removed, flamebait is removed, incivility is removed, and pretty much everything is explained either by 'dang or by the Guidelines.

So are Jewish people/content, but surely you wouldn't suggest banning them would be "working" in any way but superficially: that's called racism. Banning people based on innate characteristics that do no harm is wro

No. Admins aren't supermoderators, they're reddit employees, and the only way you can gain control of a subreddit if you're not an admin is by /r/redditrequest, which has very specific criteria. (Moderator has to

I wasn't arguing for free speech. I was arguing against homophobia, banning criticism of very specific political leaders (they don't ban political discussion), censorship of statues of religious figures and so forth. All of

TikTok banned pro-LGBT content (until they were called out on it?), TikTok bans a bunch of things in countries that aren't illegal there (or in any civilized country, for that matter), TikTok bans criticism of certain political figures

Security by obscurity is no security at all, because any repressive government will already be shining a flashlight at it to try and find anything they can. Making it faster for security researchers to find vulnerabilities means that there

The revision history of the article that cites that post is really interesting, I guess someone in the know let on more than they were supposed to? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bob_Iger&oldid=92...

How is what the above poster said "that" negative? It was a well-reasoned and well-intentioned post from someone who used it for a substantial period of time.

It was announced in April, so I'm not sure exactly why people are saying it's sudden. Am I missing something? (Stupid headline, but it's what Wikipedia had cited for it prior to this month.) https://www.cbsnews.com

I'm aware it won't happen. Wants don't always reflect plausible circumstances.

That's actually a really good point. Thanks for sharing; much to think about.

It's not an essential market, in my opinion. It's "big" for you and I, but it's not as stunningly huge as others in this thread suggest. It's probably a third or so of their total revenue from EMEA, which is 30

I want Amazon and Google to get pushed out of the EU. It'd be hilarious to me, and better for the world writ large. Also, GRPC is a Google framework. Did you mean GDPR? I think the GDPR is a great thing. I think Google is bad. That doe

I want Google to get slapped around! Anyone who doesn't think Google has more power than sovereign nations is fooling themselves into ignoring the problems that Google has caused.

It's not 30% of Google's revenue. That's Google's revenue from the EMEA region (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa). The EU accounts for a portion of it, and less of a portion now that the UK's pulled out.

>What? What kind of exaggeration is this? You think people died before Google existed or if you don't use Google? There are plenty of alternatives and even if not, how do you reach the conclusion that people will die if there is no

Europe and the EU are not the same thing. It wouldn't put a "huge" dent in Google's profitability: EMEA accounted for something like 30% of Google's revenue last year, and now that the UK is no longer part of the EU
