Honestly boring. Likely just it got flagged as violence, and an underpaid 3rd world worker clicked a button. Sorry about the inconvenience to this guy, but at the same time, it got…

How can you support free speech but prevent a company from exerting that speech? YouTube banning antivax content is speech . You want the government to start mandating that a compa…

You can just look up their terms of service which I'm fairly sure leave a carve out for news items ... But you are making an assumption that the average worker (probably from India…

Obviously not enough people are shutting up, given the way that antivax content is the #1 propagator on Facebook. There is money to be made from lying to people. That's why it's be…

> I think we have to ask No we don't. The question we have to ask is whether allowing this content is worse for society than any stifling of moderate voices. And the answer is obvi…

It's a lot of facts and figures, but it kind of misses the mark. Wars today are also from resource scarcity. Leibingsraum was explicitly part of the reasoning for invading France. …

The articles premise that Americans acted kinder for a little while after doing some Buddhist meditation.... Completely ignoring the fact that Buddhism has extremists just like oth…

> how violent are cultures of hunter-gatherer WW2 killed 75 million people. Tell me again, who has the more violent culture?

> After only eight weeks of study with a Buddhist lama, 50 percent of those who we randomly assigned to meditate daily spontaneously helped a stranger in pain. I'm waiting for the …

> Secular philosophy has failed to produce enough value for ordinary people living ordinary lives Consider the situation: you want to get an abortion. Or you know someone who does.…

"These stupid mother fuckers trust me" - Mark Zuckerberg, about Facebook users Don't forget for a moment that Mark Zuckerberg is a monster. From the start he only cared about one t…

The point is that Facebook publicly claims it's not a media company. They do that to avoid government oversight. Once they are revealed to be acting like a media company, it's a ho…

So, these are spam letters to people that currently have no business relationship with you? I hope you go bankrupt.

If you've ever received something that looked "hand written" it's either a convincing fake, or made by an intern/slave. I think we should probably question why this person thinks t…

Honestly, if you are trying to so a "back in my day" to 10 years ago... I think you should take a moment and reexamine some of the fundamental facts that you are basing your worldv…

I think it requires superhuman levels of mental gymnastics to defend accusations against billionaires being parasites, while putting down the working class for not putting up with …

Important to note, most broadband providers realized they were getting hammered by speed test in the ratings, and so launched their own (fake) speed tests that show them over perfo…

I can attest you can find bad internet in small cities just the same as in rural places. Sure, size is a factor, but it's not the only factor, nor is it the main factor. The main p…

There certainly is academic research that touches on these topics. Honestly, I'm sure the academics are moving faster than FB given that this has been a known problem for over a de…

Only about a decade too late.

I've noticed this pattern start to pop up elsewhere. I've started to train my skimming skills, skipping a paragraph or two at a time to get past the fluff. Like an article about so…

Your drinking is regulated. When you step into a car drunk, you are putting others at risk and it stops being your problem and starts being society's problem. The same is true here…

Implying that Facebook/Instagram isn't our culture. It's one and the same.

The author wanted an adventure story and a happy ending. The grandparent makes a comparison to reading Moby Dick as an adventure story about killing the whale... I think it's an ap…

Presumably, government contracting. Your satellite crashes? Pay us to clean it up.
