yeah but it amounts to straight up censorship. Someone in the government decides what is safe for the citizens to see. How do you even ban it, does the US have mechanisms in place to enforce a government ban on a web site/app?

it is not about them, its about why should there be some entity out there that censors my information and decides what I'm allowed to see and what I'm not allowed to see? why does the government here feel like it must interfere wi

Good for you! now can you imagine that there are others living in this country maybe in a different situation? I hate these comments that say "my life is great, i can't see what these people are whining about"

I guess two counterpoints would be: * people can choose to eat something else (arguably the veggies) but the fish can't, and * the fish don't artificially breed the octopuses, they hunt them down in a "natural" process,

That's a great question, I'm wondering that myself. So I know from the legal standpoint anti-scraping has been a messy debate, but what is different this time. Amazon and Linkedin won't die if their analytics leaks, in fact i

What was the black swan event here, exactly? sounds like simply a bunch of slopiness? Also, why are you so sure we are after the fact and not in the middle/beginning of it?

I'm talking about the "rumors" that caused the bank run. From what I've read (quoted above), these weren't really rumors but problems with day-to-day transfers that prevented the fund(s) from completing their deals,
