One reason I heard was that twitter was a :honeypot: op for terrorists.
But if that were the case, why are only specific users being banned? Or why only certain kinds of hate are bannable
the new apple watch sucks lol
fake electrocardiogram
the fall detection sounds fishy af
it will be buggy af
Why do I want a corporation monitoring my heartbeat?
Oh boy, can't watch the video because I'm on data but the articles make it sound like another "You don't understand what it's like to have someone be racist towards you, evil whitey"
@GingaBomber I don't think it is all political bias within the company. You have share holders, you've got phone calls officials. The Independent is half owned by the Saudis. You can't trust a word it says about terrorism. Same with twitter. Ann has been calling out the government, police and Islam about these child rape gangs for months now. When South Yorkshire police put out that 'report non-crimes' tweet she flipped her lid.
There's more going on here than just a bunch of self righteous cunts sitting with their finger on the ban button.
Pretty much, Ive heard that honeypot excuse for a while
Which I doubt for the reasons you provided.
If they... really were trying to stop terrorists, does it make sense to punish shit like speech when theres jihadists preaching death on twitter openly.
They are not intrested in stopping terrorisim at all. Just keep enough of a lid on it so the the natives don't revolt. Look at now much power they have managed to grab, how many freedoms we have given up in the name of safety.
Im not disagreeing, I just find the honeypot excuse just... full of holes
I mean back then when you never heard of conservatives being censored on twitter or FB.
Or wernt aware of it.
And id say, because they never felt the need to
Well depending on the target the honeypot argument could still hold. You have to gather data before you use it. Never forget the Great Candid Shilling
Yeah.... It was alot more believable then
Honeypots are meant to ***catch*** people, and nobody is getting caught. They're still operating unimpeded.
But if it were a honeypot, then why leave those up? Theres also neo nazi groups still active on FB
Plenty of raping, stabbing, shooting, killing, etc.
Algorithms are honestly still shitter tier
Is the main problem
I think these companies are actually way less competent than people seem to want to imply
Well it dosent help that they have a very.... one sided view of whats acceptable
Like who watches the watchman
I had this argument with someone, he said that have an AI in charge of everything
But who codes the thing?
Well and they seem primarily concerned with people who have large viewerships
How do we know the AI isnt just the guy's will made manifest?
To the point where a lot of smalltime users are not punished for abusive behavior
Which may also be why extremist groups fly under the radar
So the implication being that the threshold of whats considered acceptable is higher the smaller your community is?
Which if you are free speech absolutist, you either punish everyone, or no one
Also,m they could rely on user reports like they do..
But theres also the bias there. People get banned for reposting anti white comments with white replaces.
They aren't absolutists though. This should be clear by now
There should be no doubt that the people in control of public discourse are anything but that
I mean the reason why people belive in anonymity is because theres nothing to gurantee that what happens online wont carry over to real life.
For all the Canadians: Mad Max just announced the Canadian version of the Libertarian party http://www.peoplespartyofcanada.ca
You mean, as opposed to the Canadian Libertarian Party?
Seems like more of an actual right-wing party instead of the four or five flavors of socialism the Canadians usually have to choose from
Social democracy*
And yeah, dude wants to add private medical coverage and help deregulate the failing govt funded system
No mention of self defense laws that I could find though, which is a huge issue legally
I'm not a fan of the name because it sounds communist
But I agree with his platform
I think he could do well in the prairies and QC
Canada has "No right of self defense" as it's default legal foundation doesn't it?
Basically
It's actually the worst part
I didn't know Canada actually had a libertarian party lmao
They kicked out Lauren Southern, so that tells you how useful they are.
Tbh I think the "people's" branding is brilliant
How so?
"People's" deflects from the fact that they are not socialist

Well, I guess we know who CNN wants de-platformed next.
Remember when everyone said it was going to just be Alex Jones?
New York Times just started blocking Archive.is . Same time that they dropped that fake news curtains story.
Any archive you make comes up blank
Surprise!
Screw history. We got lies to protect.
Also, who is the alt-righter using archive.is to avoid giving pageviews?
Is that Sargon of Applebee's?
@Lagomaster24 ironicly that article is probably less directly misleading that most are. it actually puts in pretty much everything dankula would want to say in a defense of his position dispite casting him as the bad guy anyway. for that i can give it credit

We are reaching levels of stupid that will be look back on as 'that time cry babies lost their mind and the grown up let them.'
Diversity is a strength they said... So strong it inhibits our ability to communicate
Wait what the hell?
They should make it a law that everyone should speak English in the US
It would never pass. A generation ago maybe. Today? No chance.
I mean I get that part, theres too many non english speakers
What do you do to the people who didnt bother picking up the language or people who dont have the time to do so?
Deport them.
Yeah, but theres also the immensely stupid
You heard of that kid who only knew 3 words?
When he was like 8?
He only knew gorrila, grape soda.
Roxane Gay blocked me on Twitter a while ago.
How do they expect to be able to function in society if they can't speak English?
Think of it this way
whats easier?
learning a language
Or count on pathological altruism to enable your laziness?
Learning a language may be hard but it will make your life easier in the long run
Theres the problem
These people dont think in the long run
They are counting on these pathological altrusits to continue tolerating and even encouraging their behaviour
"Why should I adapt to you, you racist!"
WHAT
we need to equip all white people with special gloves that prevent them from touching the tips of their thumb and index finger while extending the rest of their fingers.
How bout they do that to the black power gesture?
These shit for brains also think drinking whole milk is white supremacy
Near the end of that Taco Bell video, the cashier flashes the okay sign while saying, "Tengo tres ..."
Maybe there are three other customers behind the one she's talking to or something, but I thought it was kinda funny, b/c in some Spanish-speaking countries that hand signal is equivalent to giving someone the bird.
lol
year 2000
I do have to question why the hell that employee thought it was a great Idea refuse service to a customer for not speaking Spanish, these companies fire people for pettier things than this. You could go into a McDonalds speaking pig latin & they'd ask you to point at the menu until they got you full order.
Using machine translation on your phone should be sufficient for ordering from Taco Bell
this is a couple days old, sorry if it's already been posted
well then
look on the bright side: she didn't rape anybody. i count that as a win.
why are there "morality" quizzes to start with?
it looks like it's a quiz to judge where exactly your morality is
similar to a political test
it's a valid question as to why it was part of a grade 10 curriculum.
but this isn't something that really deserves a forced resignation or even a news article.
i mean these kids have probably sat through lectures about ass sex
it being part of an english class is certainly an eyebrow raiser
they aren't delicate flowers.
but i think a test like this would be good in certain subjects
i think people saw "school teacher" + "morality quiz" and REEEE'd
Why is a school curious about my morality? Different religions have different moral codes, different cultures have different moral codes. So what would the school be teaching that this is relevant too?
it definitely doesn't belong in an english class
but i could see it being a perfectly acceptable part of a political science class or something
Because you need to think like the teachers think
so they know which kids they need to assign extra brainwashing to
if it's being graded as if there are right and wrong answers or right and wrong final results, then i'm 1000% down for this teacher being unable to teach ever again
but the article doesn't say anything like that
Id just mark everything as middle and turn it in
i think a test like this is a good way to show that there is nuance and the world isn't black and white
if it's just presented as it is
again, if it's graded, that's a huge problem
unless it was graded based on shit like, refused to participate, skipped every question, etc
with max points just being "actually sat and thought about the questions"
considering that getting the students to think about the questions is the only acceptable goal that this test could have
The halloween 'razorblade in apples'/'poisoned candy' story is just an urban legend, but in Australia: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-16/contaminated-strawberries-in-punnet-bought-in-adelaide-hills/10253528
```This latest incident comes after several reports of strawberries contaminated by pins and needles up and down the east coast of Australia.
Before this case in South Australia, six brands of strawberries โ Donnybrook Berries, Love Berry, Delightful Strawberries, Oasis brands, Berry Obsession and Berry Licious โ had been affected.
```
heard about that from Bearing
's wife Suggartits
This is even worse than the memory hole.
The paper is not just _gone_, it's _stealthily replaced_.
If you want to see the really bad sign, imagine what happens if this becomes the norm in a decade or so.
yeah I just read that too
fucking terrible
she has a public statement pretty much just saying "nup"
hope she catches some horrible brain eating disease that will let her realize she is slowly being trapped in her body and suffers from endless pain...... if its true.
uh oh someone stepped in lettuce again

HOLY \*\*\*\*. You Brits are in for a fight. If this gets momentum...
"Because these closed forums [Facebook Groups] can be given a โsecretโ setting, they can be hidden away from everyone but their members. This locks out the police, intelligence services and charities that could otherwise engage with the groups and correct disinformation. This could be particularly crucial with groups where parents are told not to vaccinate their children against diseases."
"Thatโs why I am introducing a bill in parliament which will do just that. By establishing legal accountability for whatโs published in large online forums, I believe we can force those who run these echo chambers to stamp out the evil that is currently so prominent. Social media can be a fantastic way of bringing people together โ which is precisely why we need to prevent it being hijacked by those who instead wish to divide."

The poison doesn't have this long of a shelf life. If this is the connected then it's either the Russians throwing the scent off, someone working at the chemistry lab near by is fucking around (which I highly doubt coz if it had come from there in the first place then it would be on lock down while we blame the Russians.
@pratel This woman is mad. I'm not going to read the guardian but she also says something about making Mods of these forum legally response for what is said in them.
Agreed. I hear it passed first reading.
I actually found the article in a reason article. They seem to think that the real goal here might be to ban secret groups. Mark Warner (D-VA-US Senate) in the US had a similar line of thinking--and his was far scarier and far more wide-reaching
It seems it's as ad as it sounds in this case: https://reason.com/blog/2018/09/12/british-lawmaker-wants-to-ban-your-priva
I think I remember hearing about that. This should be an easy one to beat. Victims of domestic violence need these groups. Play the woman card.
Cheeres I'll give that a read.
They'll just make an exception saying only 'hate' groups are banned.
'hate' being whatever policy they don't like, such as being anti-migrant
That's where the making mods liable comes from. There's probably an easy out she would have in mind in that case.
My guess is that it looks something like NGOs or companies can operate private forums and are subject to legal scrutiny and are required to turn over logs to the police if requested.
@Atkins that's too coarse and already how it works at the same time. They wouldn't just ban "hate" groups--that's too obvious. They'll just vigorously prosecute people under the laws that already exist in Britian.
you got your facebook group loicense mate?
Everyone in UK needs to write a letter to their MP, The Conservative Party and this dumb wench.
HATE SPEECH! WE HAVE HATE SPEECH OVER HERE! SOMEONE CALL THE POLICE ON THIS GROSS VIOLENCE!
The best way IMO to help the minimum wage thing in the US is what we do in AU, if someone doesn't provide a valid Tax number then they get taxed 50% of their wage, which pays for things like healthcare and stuff. It basically stops migrants working for less and not contributing to the country
Whatever the wage is, doesn't matter, one item of products will always be worth a percentage of a different item, so increasingly wages can only ever increase cost of living. The key is to circulate money in a way that it benefits locals and keeps the money inside the country

I can't believe they haven't come after Britwit for his Chinaman already. He's scatting on thin ice here boys.
If I was on twatter, I would seriously ask Capital ONE if the approve of their sponsored content.
linus cat tips would make a better sponsored video
@Darcehole "hope she catches some horrible brain eating disease" << fight fire with fire? ;- {)
The UK is going full selection for societal sanity.

Kavanaughโs mom was the judge in the accuserโs parentโs foreclosure proceedings
Unfortunately that only links to the disclaimer page, then the open search. But if thats true, there might be some conflict of interest and possible foulplay afoot.
Still funny the type of hail marys the left pulled out of their ass for this one.
Is everyone out of power 5 times each?
They're including animals
Makes sense
500 million devices?
lol
@zero_consequences yeah it's a quirk of the site. you have to accept the disclaimer to get a cookie that lets you make searches. if you accept the disclaimer, close the page and open the link again it should bring you directly to the case.
500 million ft of wire?
@zero_consequences the plural of _Hail Mary_ is _Hails Mary_
@Atkins How did you find this juicy morsel, is this original research?
nah i saw it on a gun website
"โI think itโs more and more important to at least clarify what our own bias leans towards, and just express itโฆ Iโd rather know what someone biases to rather than try to interpret through their actions,โ Dorsey told Rosen."
Really Jack? Then maybe you should stop silencong people then. Perhaps then they might be open about their bias and you wouldn't need to just randomly call people alt right because you think they are.
Jacob Rees-Mogg is supporting it?
what?
Is the bill assigned any ID?
I really want to see if he actually supports it
Everything else I search for is just Lucy's commentary regurgitated
Sargon said JRM was supporting it
While I'd normally use this opportunity to shit on liberalistism
I am curious why he would support it
look at those dindus
ya all still taking dick picks ah?
employees geting bribes to sell your data left and right
not only that same companies sell your data
:/
Kind of a 'Six degrees of Kevin Bacon' connection, but it seems legit.
Ah, Left wing Kiddies protesting for bullshit
If people weren't so anti nuclear the coal thing wouldn't have been an issue
Problem is: There is only one good way to make electrical power and that is really expensive and intrusive.
You in the US have dozen of those
And that is water power
I'm not American. My province runs primarily on Hydroelectric though yeah. However nuclear power was doing well as far as I could tell
Then you spent billions shutting that shit down only to return to coal
No, its disadvantages are so severe that it shouldn't be anoption
The radioactivity is a Problem that isn't solved.
so basically the Taxpayer pays for the disposal of the radioactive waste.
Sorry, but the only two places it's been an issue were a result of lazy engineering and no safety features
And I heard storys from my Teacher who was a Fan of Nuclear Power - until he went to a Nuclear Power Plant..
Meanwhile people are fucking your air quality and blowing up mountains for coal lol
Yeah, but the only viable solution is to build a Dam and Water Plants
That is the only good solution to creating power
The issue is that's only viable in certain areas
Geothermal is also good when it can be utilized but again that's not everywhere
Yes, that's the other solution.
But that's the only good things we have....
everything else is shit or worse
ya all goign to spend billions shuting coal to go back to nuclear soon
never to realise you are doing the biding for the ones behind coal and nuclear energy
clearing the market for other to come and fill it
@Stefan Payne look up the 'integral fast reactor' and fast breeder reactors in general. solving the waste problem is mostly a political issue, not a science or engineering issue.
tl;dr reactor designs exist that burn the fuel more completely resulting in far less waste by mass, and far, far less dangerous or long lasting waste.
Fast Breeders like the Tschernobyl one?
I think comparing a RBMK to a modern western designed reactor is kind of disingenuous.
