I am all for free and open communication as long as it is unrestricted in all respects. But facebook has been filtering content to show you what they think is relevant. In such a scenario, I'd prefer if they added moderation to weed ou

What is the alternative? Right now the alternative is to add another layer of bias in between.

Does it matter what the motivations are if they are using the same criteria for filtering all kinds of fake news?

The definitions of jurisdictions do not translate well across countries. The definition of city / county / town etc are not even consistent across United States. You can not compare a UK city to those used in USA. For reference, t

That sounds like someone who has no idea what they are talking about. The open source drivers are a bit buggy. The binary drivers work just fine on Linux. Their performance in games is lower compared to Windows, but that is the case on OS

India has always been a superstitious country. Taking the scientific stance in politics is an exception to the norm instead of the norm. That said, the current party is in power rules only 7 states directly and another 5 indirectly (through

I am not too sure about the points made in the article. I take a bit of comfort in the fact that India is diverse beyond imagination (languages, religion, caste, states, political leanings, geography etc). Trying to impose any single point

Nice! I have a developer version of the Dell precision series that is 2 generations old at this point. It has one of the best screens I have ever seen. > I recently walked in a cafe in NYC and saw 6 of them and two macbooks, which I was

An MBP with the same configuration as the Dells priciest model costs $700 more.

*Killer cards are a branding of Qualcomm Atheros. Their Linux drivers are open source and the firmware is now upstream. This is very interesting. I am glad they are trying to include as many open source drivers as possible! On a si

Ever since I heard about the proposal for floating cities on Venus, I have been a fan. There may be higher risks with floating cities initially, but considering the proximity of Venus from Earth, I think we can afford to trial (on robots or

That is just ridiculous. Creating false stories, calling out anyone who doesnt agree with them with insulting names, going on witch hunts etc is not protesting the restrictions on free speech. This only strengthens the resolve of people who

While I strongly disagree with what he did, the level of fake news and conspiracy theories hitting the front page has been toxic and out of control this year. Everyone has been accusing of Facebook and twitter for spreading fake news while

Unlike some people, I prefer to take the current state of facts at face value until further proof has been provided. Without proof, this is speculation at best and conspiracy chasing at worst.

I assume you were trying to reply to me. Yes that is the case because India does have a huge problem with people not paying taxes, taking bribes and other illegal activities. So this may be a necessary step taken to acheive that. There are

I am assuming a lot of people are coming into the thread reading the title and not the article. All cash is not banned in India. Only a couple of denominations have been demonetized and are being replaced by their newer counterparts. This h

When transactions are controlled and surveilled then what can stop total control by a determined government? Where do you get the impression that this is happening in India ?
