  Censorship is bad

  Unless Google does it. Then it's moderation.

  "It's going to be great!"

  (but then it's not great)
  "It's somehow your fault our product sucks!"

  Google hasn't learned that people don't care why something sucks. They just know it sucks. Excuses don't fix sucky things.

  That sword cuts the same way for both of them is what I think you meant. And yeah, same thing.

  Well, Bloomberg lives there so sorry. You have to suffer because of the will of a trust fund kid.

  Really glad I paid for ten years for my orgs.

  See title. So unless they plan to retroactively bill me, I'm good for a decade.

  People should get this protection the old fashion way instead.

  The way you get protection from journalists and media sites is by being a wealthy elite. That's how you can own Amazon, cheat on your wife, and it barely gets covered. That's how your druggie son can get a job with a corrupt foreign energy company, and the entire Media will downplay it. These stupid poors need to stop wanting things the 1 percenters have. They need to say in their lane.

• On the post: This Week In Free Speech Hypocrites: 'Free Speech' Supporter Sheila Gunn Reid Gleefully Sues Someone For Calling Her A Neo-Nazi

  

  Zof ( profile ), 25 Nov, 2019 @ 10:55am

  Her speech was clearly free.

  The consequences, not so much. Freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences. Sometimes if you call people names, they sue you.

• On the post: Sacha Baron Cohen Is Wrong About Social Media, Wrong About Section 230… And Even Wrong About His Own Comedy

  The Real Issue Is Political Censorship Being Called Moderation

  Every other discussion is a distraction from that. It's talking about the color of firetruck and not the fire.

• On the post: Should Doxxing Be Illegal?

  

  Zof ( profile ), 14 Nov, 2019 @ 12:53pm

  The Irony

  Wanting to be able to know everything about someone, invading their privacy, sounds like something a Nazi would want.

• On the post: 5G Is Not A 'Race,' And We're Incapable Of Determining Winners Even If It Was

  

  Zof ( profile ), 06 Nov, 2019 @ 09:07am

  We Aren't Winning

  So winning doesn't matter.

  Zof ( profile ), 04 Nov, 2019 @ 06:50pm

  Oliver proved he was a garbage shill when he attacked Sanders

  In the primary. Oliver is trash. He can go to hell.

  Nazis. Remember that?

• On the post: FCC Freaks Out About Huawei, But Ignores The Internet Of Broken Things

  

  Zof ( profile ), 04 Nov, 2019 @ 09:56am

  They had no choice

  Huawei basically drop-kicked Apple out of the largest phone market on Earth. They had to do something for them.

  I refuse to get an epic games subscription for Borderlands 3

  But I'm shopping for a PS4 now because of a new Hideo Kojima game. It wasn't even up for debate.
