What does a "Chief of Diversity and Inclusion" do?
decide which people to exclude.
Is there a legal requirement to have one?
Because she's definitely pulling six figures that would otherwise be spent on something that actually generates revenue.
I don't get why this is even a thing. What is the financial incentive here?
we gota make women think they are productive
but dont make them productive
just make them think they are
so we can laugh at them
for how stupid they are
?
Is there some sort of actuarial calculation going on where A='dollars spent on discrimination lawsuits' and B='money wasted on diversity bullshit' and if A>B you hire a diversity officer.
someone told me last year that half of all youtube views are fake
something to do with youtube inflating traffic with fake views to sell ads
never got a source of a news, guess is just a rumour
i think the gobt should regulate youtube
on the ads stuff
I think Tim is right and nothing is going to happen to regulate big tech. I looked on some conservative forums and support for any kind of intervention is very low. Most are taking the NRO opinion, which is basically "yes these companies are biased and are fucking us over and deplatforming us, but private companies can do whatever they want"
If you don't like it host your server in your basement or something and make your own trillion dollar social media giant.
Yeah, the base is kinda naive. You even see it here when I get into the fights with Beemann.
That twitch video from the Quartering is a big part of why I don't trust "alternatives" either.
That said, I can smell things changing.
That NRO article mentions going to some panels and the panel being uniformly in favor of some kind of regulation.
/r/conservative went from being 'maybe we should talk about Net Neutrality' to 'TIME TO REGULATE' or 'BREAK UP GOOGLE!'
I think it's a case of the people who are technically sophisticated and aware of all the news versus the "principles" types who stick their heads up their asses and talk among each other all day.
There's an article I pass around here where a progressive senator from Washington was criticizing "hypocritical free market republicans like Ted Cruz who want to do something to Google"
And the Dems and Social media in particular are going after Ted Cruz HARD in this re-election cycle.
*something* smells. But it's not yet raised to a level of cohesive action yet.
