On the post: Getting Absurd: Twitch Creates A 'Hot Tub' Channel, Says It Should Have Communicated With Streamers About Demonitization

Get off my cyber-lawn! ( profile ), 26 May, 2021 @ 10:12am

You kids and your new-fangled interwebs!

I'm unclear on a point - did they demonetize the accounts or did the advertisers pull their support of the accounts? If the advertisers no longer wish to support the account, then it is absolutely their right to not do so....I don't consider that demonetization. If the platform decided to no longer pay the account or allow anyone to advertise on it, then that would be demonetization. The article doesn't make it clear if the platform sees a difference or which of those two things happened.

Re: Re:

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Cricut?

Which is part of the whole mess that drives me the most mad.....not the same competitive market. Cricket sells phones and access while Cricut sells cutting machines and supplies.....should NEVER be a chance of a lawsuit over that, but somebody probably will at some point. At least the Cricut name isn't close to anything related to the Micro-Brew industry or they'd have been hauled into court repeatedly by now I'm sure!

On the post: Court Says Twitter Must Unmask User Whose Bogus Document Jumpstarted Seth Rich Conspiracy Theory

Not suing all the responsible parties

Should be suing the twitter user for Forging & Distributing fake document - there is no valid 1st Amendment argument supporting a criminal act like that
Should sue the other parties - dependent upon ability to prove they either knew or should have reasonably known material was fake AND that they intended harm

Not saying the court would agree with both arguments but at least that would be the correct way to approach the suit - IMO

Re: Re: Re: Wait,.. What?

Well, since he knew enough to know what her working space was, it would also seem to me that he would know she'd requested remote teaching and been denied.....thus he knew her circumstances. Maybe I'm wrong but he sounds to me like he suffers from rectal-cranial inversion so I'm going to continue thinking he knew and didn't care.

I mean, if Ex-President Abraham Lincoln can take the time to log onto the internet and comment on how important the FCC actions and policies are....why can't you just admit you're wrong about them?

Typical

Doe - pounding on door and yelling "Your apartment is on fire!"

1to1 - "Thanks but please don't tell the neighbors"

Doe - "No, that would be reckless and stupid"

1to1- "We're calling the police to have you arrested for disturbing the peace and attempting to blackmail us by telling our neighbors that our apartment is on fire!"

Indian Court - "Not only shouldn't you have told the neighbors about the fire, but you aren't allowed to tell anyone else about it going forward!"

Why always so negative?

Instead of claiming that it is wrong 96% of the time, why not be positive and say that it has a 96% success rate at identifying the wrong person?

SEE? that sounds so much better!
