This is why we need to sever economic ties with China. The more we support this the worse this type of thing will intensify, including beyond China's borders....and it won't stop at just Christianity, they have targeted Islam and,

Lawmakers should be fed up with Facebook. That said, Google is an even bigger issue that deserves more scrutiny. The only difference is that Google is spending more money to buy off politicians on both sides of the isle.

No big surprise here. I worked on a project for a fintech startup. They were dealing with small business bank accounts in the US and were missing some basic security. Had there been a data breach someone could have come in and cleaned ou

Here's a thought. Manufacture in the US. Given the losses that they are having this would have saved a lot of hassle and it probably would have cost the same for the size of runs that they are doing. Kinesis makes the Advantage in the

While I agree with their stand on this issue, there is a big level of hypocrisy in these statements since Google is well known for suppressing search results and banning people on YouTube etc. based on political ideology. So I'd like t

I remember that as well and rejected the extreme right control during that time. That said, what it has been replaced with has taking us from the frying pan into the fire with the tactics. When I see one side trying to force others into the

For a while we had some quality conferences around topics such as Ruby, Javascript etc. with great technical talks that were open to anybody who had an interest and wanted to attend. These days many, if not most of them are thinly veiled p

Yes, and they are known to scan it and kick people off for "inappropriate" content under a very subjective and not equally enforced set of standards. This is why I don't recommend Google Cloud to clients.

You just helped to prove my point. A large swatch of Trump supporters agree with many of his views, just look at the rally's. Many also feel that certain positions of the left, such as the the support of abortion is morally repugnant.

My understanding is that this view is shared by a majority of YouTube employees who censor the content. IE: We hate Trump, Trump is evil and his supporters are deplorables, therefore it is the right thing to do to suppress this horrible spe

I'm fine with not enforcing copyright if they are a neutral platform. When they go beyond that however all bets are off.

They kind of brought this on themselves. At one time they said that they were a neutral platform, and were fairly neutral. Now they very actively curate content, so naturally people are starting to want to make them liable for everything

Making racist statements is not against the law in the US. Child porn is. As such they would have a legal obligation to cut them off if they were hosting child porn.
