#2Chilling effect.
Imagine where the US is headed with online censorship and cancel culture. If you publicly disagree with controversial views you’re in for a bad time.

Yes, claiming that women are bad at engineering and being thought of as a shithead is definitely equivalent to spending time in a Thai jail cell.

That’s a quick and strong reaction. Do you have a problem with women in tech?
If you must know I was referring to contact tracing. I’m against it. I’m anti lockdown too. I get ostracized every time I bring it up.

Maybe that deserves some reflection rather than dismissing it as "cancel culture."

No, I was making a reference to people like James Damore, who seem to.

I'm not going to jump on the bandwagon, but I'd love to hear what alternatives you have to getting a handle on the global pandemic that's killed 200k Americans and over a million people world-wide.
(Preferably without making references to "herd immunity", which has been shown to not be effective, or comparing it to other causes of death, which are at best orthogonal to the issue at hand.)

On the face of it, that's an interesting position to take. We know someone has a communicable disease that kills, we wonder if people he's been in contact with might also have it and might also be spreading it and dying of it; finding out seems like quite a sensible idea. What's the objection?

Yes, very chilling indeed. Media personalities alienating their audiences and advertisers is exactly like state censorship resulting in imprisonment.

You should be. You are talking about millions of peoples lives here. The fallacies that create these opinions like the proven false economy vs health narrative are utterly misguided delusions.
