This isn’t a one or the other thing. You’re just bringing up an unrelated point.

The big part of this story which nobody is talking about is the fact that the app is literally controlled by a bunch of “former” Israeli intelligence officers. Who now have what is arguably the worlds most valuable access out of anyone.

So wait… They are using a Signal clone that is run by a group of Israeli intelligence officers?? I don’t think that part of the story has broken yet properly. When you go to google maps for the address listed for that company you actually g

This is a HUGELY popular position the EU is taking WTF are you taking about?

The actual fines for this moving forward are up to 10% of a companies global revenue. The EU made a big point to say that this is the first time they are issuing those fines and as a result they are smaller than they otherwise would be espe

What a weird thing to put in scare quotes.

The EU made a serious point that these are the first time they are issuing those fines as as such have capped them as a signal to show that they are serious but also that they aren’t taking the maximalist approach some in the US are accusin

It’s an awfully convenient bit of wording where nobody can pin you down on exactly what that means but only on what actions get taken. It’s what I’m referring to when I say that I’ve never once seen a moderator once consider their own judge

What is even the logic here? I understand the concept that when you have multiple threads going on about one article or story AT THE SAME TIME… then sure, the dupe option makes sense. When you are manually putting a dupe tag on a story beca

Dang and other editors manually tweak things regularly to make sure stuff like this is not on the front page and consider that to be a feature not a bug and are not at all interested in listening to any criticism that maybe that’s not the r

As they should. Now more so than ever. It has become EXTREMELY clear that everyone who tried to make themselves small in order to not be targets for this new US admin has gotten the worst of it. There’s no need to add another data point to

Not at all, but I think a lot of these companies have something in place which is roughly equivalent to a budget of resources they are willing to put towards processing your requests in a given time frame (independently of context windows)
