    People used to look like dorks walking down the street staring at a smartphone, or pulling an entire computer out of a bag at a coffee shop. We'll adjust.

    Because there's no such association. Nobody associates Coke with the reek of bum piss because they encountered a messy billboard. This is simply an unreal line of argument. It cert…

    This seems like a generalization with as many counterexamples as examples. Also, users don't actually want censorship, they want a tailored experience that filters out whatever con…

    Hard drugs have been illegal in America for generations, and yet every city has had a junkie community all this time. How much more failure must we entertain?
