PlayStation provides entertainment for a price. So does Disney, Electronic Arts, Warner and Bandai Namco.
Anyone can decide not to buy expensive entertainment and play football or have sex. The fact that these companies have millions of customers shows that they are satisfied.
Twitter is an asynchronous messaging website. How can it implement end-to-end encryption, when messages are stored in servers until the recepient opens the browser and logs in?
We saw the case where Google was told by France and Canadato censor and not censor search results simultaneously. Likewise, we wouldnt like Russia or Saudi Arabia to tell companies to censor gay parades or political dissenters worldwide.
The internet is worldwide, but laws are territorial. International treaties could be an option, but as already said, authoritarian countries are well represented in the United Nations. On the other hand, multistakeholder organizations usually have an overrepresentation of corporations.
The European Union's GDPR has good points and bad points. It certainly has the power of law. It certainly protects privacy, even of politicians who should be transparent.
I agree with Mike that deleting Trump's tweets would be a tertible idea, and that fighting speech with speech was an excellent decision by Twitter.
Now, I disagree with nearly everything that Trump says. However, I do think that mail voting isn't fail safe. There's no way to guaranteethat a mail vote was sent by the person who is supposed to, just like with internet voting.
Re: One subject only HDMI
HDMI is a widely used standard.
Sony's condumer electronics division performs poorly because of Chinese rivals.

"apparently they apparently make vastly more money as an insurance company than a technology company"
Did you even read the chart, not to mention the article's title?
Re: Re:
Exactly. How curious that so few white criminals are not shot by the police, even when armed.
Re:
We are talking about police brutality, not violence in general.

Jacob Blake while unarmed tried to get into his car, and the police shot him 7 times on his back.
Kyle Rittenhouse shot multiple people, and the police did not arrest him.
Calling American cops racist is an understatement.
Re:
It has an annual revenue of 1 billion. That's peanuts versus Google, Microsoft or Amazon, but still a pretty important company.
Also, TIL Atlassian is Australian.

Dear Mike, podcasts are called so because of the iPod, whose integration with iTunes popularized the format. So your rant is 15 years late.

Excuse my lack of understanding. Are you sure that Section 230 protects website users? I thought that it protected websites from users, not viceversa.
Brandenburg and Miller cases
Oh America, the land where obscenity is not protected as free speech, but calling to violence is protected as free speech except if it's imminent.

Requiring "viewpoint-neutral" moderation is restricting the freedom of speech.

YouTube is not the only video website, but it does have a huge market share.

I'm sure that if any other president wrote tweets glorifying violence or misinforming, Twitter would fact check them too.
Re: Corporations, shareholders, and public companies
Shareholders get representation at the company's board. They can certainly decide what the company does or doesn't.
Re:
No need to buy journalists, they do it at no extra charge.
Re: Journalism vs. Reporting
Journalism has become entertainment. The term "newsworthy" has lost any meaning.

I disagree with the article's opinion. The point isn't confusion between wine and beer, but between the manufacturers of wine and beer.
Companies like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, AB InBev, Heineken, Diageo, Pernod-Ricard, Suntory and Asahi. They produce a wide range of beverages.
Therefore if a customer sees Wine Drop and Beer Drop, or Wildcat Beer and Wildcat Vodka, they may assume that both products are from the same company.
