I disagree. I think that platforms have some sort of responsibility to vet the ads who run on their platform. Not just for science or politics but in general. 1/2 of the reason I have used an adblocker for 20 years is because of how of

First off, brownwashing isn't a thing -I dismiss people who believe in zombies too. I don't have a lot of time or sympathy for people who are upset that fictional characters are no longer portrayed as being of the dominant race. I

My point is that the problem with Netflix has nothing to do with content, and everything to do with mismanagement. I'm really sorry about your whitewashing narratives (or whatever) but you're either deliberately missing my point a

I don't honestly give enough of a shit about Elon to remember what his politics are. All I care about is that "woke" is empty rhetoric which is in practice meaningless.

Open Source in the OSI sense of the term was created as a reaction to the Free Software movement so I'm guessing probably not. It's more likely that we'd have the situation we had with UNIX; incompatible forks tied to incruta
