Under that interpretation, companies will certainly want to keep a public moderation log for court documentation then. Being transparent as possible will be best for the user and the courts to determine whether or not there is selective bia

I see you chose to attack the person, not the proposal. You are wrong. The bill does not designate a political board, it requires tech companies that have over $30 million U.S. users per month and an annual income of over $1.5 billion, to p

After going to 1440p, I cannot use 1080p monitors for programming as the text is too blurry. Honestly I don't see the need of 2160p on a monitor, it usually just causes display issues and it's a performance drain. For gaming/

Wow, Hacker News loves ads all of a sudden. Hilarious to see people try to spin why allowing someone to personally block ads is a bad thing. I see uBlock touted here everyday, so blocking all ads okay, but we HAVE to force people to see pol

Letting them do whatever they want is not a valid choice, no matter how they feel.

I do disagree, and it is for their safety, many of them are getting hurt. I don't care if they want it or not, if they don't, they don't know what's good for them.

I bet he didn't read the piece, if he had he would have known it would have pissed off their base. Notice how they didn't say HOW the OPINION piece didn't meet their standard.

It wasn't just property damage, and insurance isn't magic. David Dorn, a black ex-police officer, and 14 other people died due to the unhandled looting. If they would have sent National Guard in to protect storefronts those deaths

I don't see in the study linked in the article where it attributes light mode to more eye strain. I found where blue light causes eye strain, and it most certainly does, I immediately notice the difference when using a blue light filte

Seeing as we're talking about something that relates to eyestrain, I don't think we can discount how the GP feels. If you don't feel well you likely aren't going to perform well. If your eyes hurt, you are going to want

I didn't realize Taylor Swift's social media uses bots to manipulate other people's feeds. I figured it was a normal situation where they blocked people and tweeted for her, do you have evidence otherwise?

The GP didn't call anyone a shill, he called the group of bots shills. I don't see why we're talking about the word he chose to call the bots, not the bots themselves. He didn't attack anyone, he was referencing the high

Well, the article is about the discovered government propaganda by mainly the CCP. If you have other reports about services finding bots that shilled government propaganda from other state actors you're welcome to share them. I certain

by s_y_n_t_a_x 6y ago
I agree with the paid part adding an extra amount of bad connotation, that was an oversight in my analogy. Regardless, being called any form of a shill should not be censored and the root of it's usage comes from a legitimate cause, es

The essence of my analogy was both are terms that denote the ideology of a person, something they CHOOSE, not are born into like race. If you believed your government was good, why would you care about a label that targeted you as a support

We're all replying to the article about the Chinese propaganda Twitter has evidence of, do you have evidence of US propaganda to submit into the discussion? Regardless, I don't see how more wrong it is to call someone a "WuMa

After viewing your other reply, I do not believe you are supporting the CCP, but I also disagree with your stance. I believe we should stand up against dictatorships and challenge them even when we have ties to them. Being able to say anyth

by s_y_n_t_a_x 6y ago
Exactly, my question essentially is, why do you think the CCP needs propaganda? Because if many people thought they were good and supported them they could win on merit alone, not propaganda.

Why do you think the Chinese government needs sponsored online moderators? I don't see a need for moderators if many people believe they are good and support them. It certainly seems like they use them to censor people who object to th

You can apply that to literally every recreational activity/hobby. Entertainment is subjective and I doubt you stare a blank wall all day so we could make fun of how you spend your time. The football stadium is like the colosseum down

Whataboutism, I simply stated ongoing actions by the CCP that probably influence people to view them as evil. It's up for people to decide what they view as acceptable, the history of every country is for the most part transparent thes

Two possibilities now since your last hypothesis was proven wrong with a simple git blame? But sure, maybe the CTO/co-founder went rouge, lol. What's the difference at that point? Both are leaders/founders of the company. Eit

The fact that you can check their mod log makes me like them even more. I have a feeling HN would never publicize that information themselves.
