And this is for the FBI, why is Apple acting as the government’s proxy?

Why are you so scared of people being allowed to express their political power? Words and rhetoric is how it’s always been. Are you for censoring all political speech? Given the hi…

Taiwan (Republic of China) maintains a claim to territory currently occupied by the CCP (People’s republic of China). And vice versa for the CCP.

We are not talking about trump. We are talking about Apple, who is forcing other companies to censor their user’s speech and acting as judge and jury on what is acceptable.

This is just the same lame four excuses [0] to justify censorship and mass surveillance. Just replace terrorism with “inciting violence”. Now the government doesn’t even need to ge…

A screenshot from ngabbs is supposed to prove what exactly?

Not an argument.

Sure looks anti-competitive when Parler is deleted from all the app stores now doesn’t it? And we have people vocally calling for Cloudflare and AWS to deny them hosting services.

Yes but do you? When Twitter suspends your speech do you have a press office to get your word out? If they dare to do it to the president you think they have any reservations about…

The relative strengths of the nations help to dictate the terms. Treaty of Nanking was signed after the defeat of the Qing army, you think the terms were favourable to the Qing Emp…

> For all the non-TSLA holders on HN (there are many) - is there a price at which you will admit TSLA is successful? And if not, what is the reasoning behind why you will forever s…

And it’s a solution looking for a problem. No one wanted this. Not the people and not the government. It doesn’t solve my problem because I will not use such an app, period. It doe…

We’re trying to tell you that this would have happened anyway and contact tracing itself is just another instrument in the surveillance state.

If they can be forced to change whatever implementation they have by the government then it helps no one. It’s just giving them more information on top of all their existing data t…

Google and Apple will happily deliver all your information to the government when it becomes their legal obligation. Are we so naive to believe that if only we adopted their “priva…

Malnourished people are more susceptible to disease? Shocking.

The local governments downplay anything and everything to not look bad so I don’t think that is a particularly strong claim.

Great way to dismiss the actual actual argument.

You think that people aren’t already hiding their views because of social consequences? And this is progress? You’d rather that people hid what they really think? Your entire view …

The point is the lessons as a standardised tool work quite well in producing results. The variation in results is much higher if you go off the well beaten path. Secondly, if you t…
