"Private companies can do what they like" should only apply to companies that are not monopolies. Due to network effects there is no legitimate competition to YouTube, so YouTube n…

Ironic that you're complaining about violence in the context of a protest against forcibly jabbing people with a vaccine they don't want. The government's policy here is violence i…

Are you sure about that Reuters? Twitter's stock is up 5% over the last five days. It seems to me that they met the market's expectation for growth. Not many people buy more of a s…

How long does Google need to maintain your unlimited storage before you won't complain when they take it away? Until the sun goes out?

No, the First Amendment only applies to the government. Free speech is a concept that can be applied anywhere.

Well in this case he's signalling support for censorship, so you can't really call that virtuous.

Not only that, but it's rumored that Rogan negotiated significant creative freedom into the contract. If Spotify were to capitulate to Young's request, they'd most likely be breaki…

What a bizarre comment. He most definitely did do it in hopes of forcing Spotify to drop Rogan. Appearing on the same streaming platform as Rogan costs him nothing (neither financi…

These companies overwhelmingly support the Democratic party. The idea that they are deliberately stonewalling this investigation strains credulity. Poking some of their most powerf…

I wish I could laugh at this, but watching institutional racism come roaring back to life over the last decade has been extremely depressing. Is there any doubt that the goal of th…

How do you know the author is insulting your intelligence and not just lacking in intelligence themself? I find the latter explanation more likely for this idiotic article.

First time I've ever seen somebody on HN request to change a neutral headline to a biased headline. This is a he said/she said dispute. Taking either side's statements at face valu…

Because they don't discuss the methodology used to arrive at these numbers nor do they link to any sort of full report explaining these stats. For all we know, these numbers are co…

North Korea.

You counter all skepticism the same way: by a designing an experiment to test the skeptic's hypothesis and presenting the results of the experiment to the skeptic. Name-calling, ce…

If Facebook is responsible for the content users see on their site, how is Apple not responsible for the content users see on Safari? I really don't see how you can argue for banni…

> Companies (many/most of the medium and big ones) are desperately monitoring Twitter (Reddit is gaining) because it’s the only window they have into what people say about them. Th…

Interesting. My stack ranking of unethical tech companies would have Twitter at the very top. None of the others have caused as much societal harm as Twitter. I saw research recent…

Something doesn't add up here. Levels is showing that the average senior engineer at Netflix is only getting $11k stock though. If employees were allowed to choose what percentage …

It's the truth. Trans women are not real women as they do not have the same DNA and cannot birth children (amongst many other differences). I may be offended when people talk negat…

It basically makes it impossible to propose any new medical treatment on Youtube when their definition of "misinformation" is really just "not proven to work." This would be more a…

If McDonald's mistreats me, I can go to Wendy's or Burger King and get a similar meal for a similar price. When Youtube mistreats me, where am I supposed to go? BitChute? Vimeo? Ne…

Hence why Google needs to be made a public utility.

The definition of hate speech can be made to fit whatever political agenda you seek to promote. For example, you will get banned from Twitter for saying "feminism is cancer" on the…

The number one contributor to increasing carbon emissions is population growth, but the same people who pretend to be outraged about carbon emissions are also the same people who w…
