   Well, if you're into 'politically incorrect' movies, virtually anything before 1980 will fit the bill. You could start with Birth of Nation which celebrates the KKK. Then move on to the Jazz Singer which prominently features

   Facebook seems like the least of the big techs that are the most abusive of monopoly Framing the issue as a competition between asshole companies lets them all off the hook. FB blatantly abuses its monopoly by trying to buy small

   Do people really think HN would be a better community without strict moderation? Within a year HN would fill up with trolls, commercial spammers, bigots, and culture warriors of all stripes. As a result HN would lose a large portion of its

   The position still seems consistent to me, because I consider not censoring people to be as significant a choice as censoring them. So to me, inaction on Facebook's part isn't a non-choice ; it's a bad choice . The thing

   This will further marginalize AI ethics and can only be seen as a good thing. I don't think marginalizing AI ethics 'can only' be seen as a good thing. Surely a few people don't want to be turned into papercli

    If I were a journalist who wanted to rake in money it wouldn't occur to me to include dull screenshots of diffs and commit messages. For that matter, it wouldn't occur to me to work for a niche outfit like Ars Technica either. My

    If you were a photographer creating erotic gay art or a writer hosting a Communist poetry night, I would advise you not to bank on the right wing defending your freedom of expression.

    Gab is a site that caters to hate groups. I guess the targets of their hatred take it personally. That seems rational to me.

    I posted a knee-jerk reaction, but I should have written nothing. The essay didn't warrant the pique. Besides, I did enjoy the lines about sitting down to watch Star Wars.

    This essay a great example of online culture. So many stock received ideas: the 'shadowy elites' message, the Walter Mitty 'only we few dared to take the red pill' heroism, the conflation of freedom of speech with forcin

    Every video I have seen that managed to escape TikTok's confines and infiltrate my consciousness could be inserted into an episode of 'America's Funniest home Videos' and leave nobody the wiser.

    I'm sympathetic to that, but by 'Then I hope I win' I certainly wasn't thinking in those terms. The 'side' I was thinking of is reasonable people , not all of whom are left-wingers, let alone Democrats.

    I think there's a misunderstanding? The comment 'Soviets put their dissidents into mental hospitals' was a reply to a comment by me . I provided an example (with which I, naturally enough, disagree) of a criticism of my or

    There isn't enough substance in that comment for me to rebut. People often spout platitudes about liberty and democracy without understanding either. With apologies, I will assume that is the case here.

    We don't disagree there. I wanted to echo the 'other guy' phrase in the comment to which I was replying, but 'other guys' would be less ambiguous. On social media today, there are several different potentially viole

    The point I had in mind is that ideology is well and good, but sometimes pragmatism is better. If a desire for free speech, to pick a contemporary example, leads to defending the 'right' of the Myanmar military to use Facebook fo

    The problem is that the other guy is saying the same thing you are. Then I hope I win. Cause the other guy really likes firearms and believes Bill Gates is some sort of satanic reptilian timelord. Facebook's new governing
