There have been a number of infamous cases of Google closing people's accounts for spurious reasons and allowing them no way to appeal. What's going to happen if you have passkey support that works like this, and then Google locks you out of your account?
internet's founding principles of universal access and unfettered information flow
Yeah, right.
EU law targets Big Tech over hate speech, disinformation
They're not filtering the information flow. They're stopping disinformation. Really different. Either that, or the EU just wants to violate this commitment before the ink dries.
And yes, the 55 countries includes a lot of EU countries.
We've seen what happens with Google where Google abruptly cancels someone's account because of some automated process and they lose access to everything else including things they pay for.
Now if Microsoft's automatic processes decide that you're a spammer or someone else who's a problem, you'll lose access to your own PC as well.
The company that runs the New York Comic Con used the term "Metaverse" for its cons since at least 2020. And the New York Comic Con is not a small organization that it could have been easy for Facebook to overlook.
At what point should a community be welcoming some newcomers with reasonable real estate prices then transitioning to shutting out newcomers? Just a bit after the time that they moved, right?
When the rate of people moving in shoots up enormously?
They're not saying "we want to be the last people who get to move in". They're pointing out that when people move in at a low rate, things work differently from when people move in at a high rate. When they moved in, the rate of people moving in was low enough that the market could handle it.
Unfortunately, both Webb and Nancy Grace Roman see mostly in the infrared, so they can't really replace Hubble. LUVOIR would be able to see visible light, but wouldn't launch until 2039. The Decadal Survey released a month ago scaled down LUVOIR but the scaled down version still wouldn't launch until 2039.

Banks and payment processors are highly regulated by the government (and subject to money laundering laws, Know Your Customer, etc., as well as a whole lot of behind the scenes regulation). They are not a free market.
Why would they need to let you know how it goes? It's your door. Presumably, whether it goes well or badly, you should be there. So you should already know.
John Carter of Mars had a city named "Helium" and he gained super-strength because of the lesser gravity of Mars compared to his home planet (Earth). It is possible that Krypton was named after that.
Krypton also had a "twin world" named Xenon and a city named Argo City, although those were named much later, so it doesn't really tell you anything about the origin of the name Krypton.

Even if it's possible there's something to the lawsuit, the first two lawsuits were clearly absurd. The first one claimed there's no tuna whatsoever in the tuna, which is not only something that's impossible to get away with, but they refused to release the lab tests.
In the second lawsuit, they claimed it "was not 100 percent sustainably caught skipjack and yellowfin tuna" which is curiously specific wording. Are they really claiming that sustainable tuna have different DNA from unsustainable ones? And does that mean that they suddenly admit that the lab tests do show tuna when they claimed they didn't the first time? They didn't release the lab tests for this one either.
At this point, I'd assume either 1) they're suing only for the publicity and don't believe anything's wrong, or 2) they're fanatics who don't understand that no evidence means no evidence. It's possible that they have evidence the third time, but I wouldn't bet on it.
I mean, I doubt this is actually wrong. I have no doubt that the leaked information is correct--that is, Facebook's AI really is terrible at censoring. And if the point had been "Facebook censorship is terrible, maybe they should stop it", it'd be okay.
But that's not the point of the discourse surrounding the leaks, and probably not the point of leaking it in the first place. The point is that since Facebook's censorship is terrible, we need to get someone else in there to really make sure Facebook is getting rid of all that hate speech and misinformation. That someone is going to be either the government or a cancel mob, and that's a lot scarier than even malfunctioning Facebook algorithms.
Not only is the most successful manga a superhero story, successful manga is littered with series that are *essentially* superhero stories--they feature characters with superpowers using them to fight each other, even if they don't have secret IDs and codenames. That list has Dragonball Super, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Chainsaw Man. August also has Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
I suspect that the biggest reason for the problem is that comics are just several times more expensive per page than manga. The social justice writing doesn't help, but manga has beaten comics long before that was a problem. Also, looking at 2020 figures is hard because the pandemic messed everything up--there are obvious reasons for sales to go down and obvious reasons for sales to go up and it's hard to figure out how big each effect is.
Kleeneness is next to Godelness.
