That's dodging the question. Let's say they weren't spewing hatred/fascism, and were reporting on critical information that Americans need to know. But AT&T blocks them. Is the response still going to be "AT&

I agree that Parler was deplorable and needed to go, but I keep seeing this "private companies can do whatever they want" argument, and it bothers me. For the sake of discussion, would you feel the same way if the CEOs of AT&T

In the current context, we aren't talking about the president of the united states, we're talking about a bunch of random people on Parler. But if your point is that government officials should be held to a higher standard than ra

I fully agree but it's getting increasingly hard to make this argument with a straight face given that the tech companies in question still host numerous other hate groups. Twitter still allows the leaders of the Taliban and the Nation

Lots of great discussion in these comments about the topic at hand (exercising), which is great, but the article is actually about a book titled "Exercised" and I don't see any comments at all about the book. Has anyone read

So to avoid confusion: there's two sources of "payment information" that might get confused with Apple. There's Apple Pay (which has no WhatsApp equivalent AFAIK) and Apple Cash (which is the equivalent of WhatsApp Pay).
