I kind of feel like our focus historically has been around equality of opportunity. That (to me) feels like, at least partially, the wrong way to look at it. Unless science comes to the conclusion that there is in fact some super human sp

TBH I'm really not mad that I'm blocked. The real concern here is whether or not personally identifiable info (due to the craziness in the US these days) was really critical to resolving whatever issue they think they detected fr

Here's a thought. One of the most frustrating things to me about this kind of thing is that Google (or any other major tech company) could just ignore me and just tell me "you're malware". I get it. Technology people
