    That case could still be appealed and overruled. And then it could go to the Supreme Court, which would likely take years to resolve. Better to be safe than sorry, rather than hope…

    I can guarantee you this made more people adverse to the cause than for it. They did everything wrong, and many of the people who might have had a chance at trying to change things…

    But that assumes that Google would settle. Without that happening, you are looking at years before getting a result, thousands of dollars of attorney fees and a high likelihood tha…

    I see this all of the time, but without any evidence. Even your edit says they get a "butts in seat" tax break. But how much is that? I can very easily see the savings of remote em…

    While most of this comment is true, there are lots of youtubers that can make it full-time without getting millions of subscribers. The key is that you can't rely on adsense, you n…

    I mean, if they went after someone civilly, Twitter doesn't have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, only that there is a 51% chance it happened. So proving that someone downloaded…

    What references do you have for this? As I understand it, any quotas are also illegal, and this would be a quota. I think you might be confusing affirmative action programs with wh…

    The problem is with all of these new devices using AI related features. They all seem to decide that it's a good idea to use contractors to "verify" or "categorize" the pictures. T…

    It's kind of sad to see so many people just take this story at face value. Is it really 1am? I could certainly believe it, but some random picture doesn't make it true. Also, even …

    PIPs require a tremendous amount of effort and work. It also doesn't guarantee that the person would be fired. There are many times where the employee might do just enough to get o…

    This isn't strictly true. I do think they are going to lose some number of the highest performers because they have options and they will realize they can go somewhere else. Howeve…

    The problem is that right now everyone is still looking to switch jobs. If you assume that recessions bring out some really talented engineers looking for jobs, that's not happenin…

    I don't know if the garbage can is good, but I found the last picture with the new garbage can in the foreground and a ton of garbage behind the can on the ground funny. This artic…

    To be fair, you've fallen into the same trap. One person says they don't have a problem, you believe them and start saying the first statement must be misinformation. It's possible…

    How would you enforce this? In the US this is completely illegal. In addition, you would have to ask extremely invasive questions of everyone. So is your proposal that you require …

    Oops, mixed up my terms. Thanks for the clarification.

    I don't think this is even worthy of being reported on. There is a high likelihood of this being thrown out in summary judgement. You can't claim something without at least some fa…

    What are you talking about? The media consistently write articles about ongoing trials. Think about some of the major trials recently, and you will find many, many articles about t…

    Yeah, remember when CNN threatened to dox someone? Remember, this is the network with Chris Cuomo, who was allowed to interview his own brother, giving him softball questions. The …

    As I understand it, Japan doesn't have any fair use provisions for copyright. So this is clearly illegal there. I do thinks it's stupid that anybody would bother to punish people w…

    As much as Disney sucks, it looks like Redbubble is being overly aggressive in removing things that are kind of like Disney's Loki. The specific part: In most cases, this means tha…

    I said in my comment that I think that it might be that lock downs worked in certain situations, but not all. From your comment, it sounds like there is no amount of evidence that …

    What evidence is there that this is true? The problem is assuming that no mask mandate means nobody wears masks. As the top poster said, people still wore masks, but it wasn't forc…

    What evidence do you have that this is what happened? I do think that conservatives in California are definitely behind this push, but so what. Are they not allowed because they ar…

    This is just a few people explaining how they de-radicalized. Now imagine the opposite, someone with some slightly bad opinion suddenly finds themselves shut out of the main platfo…
