I think that is exactly right. It is difficult to overestimate how much the iOS privacy restriction has impacted Metaâ(TM)a businessâ"its right there in their financials.

But if they can pile on with Twitter and force Apple to allow side loading as a consequence it could have a measurable impact on Metas business model.

There is no love list between Apple and Meta at this point.

"Fiat Currency works at the barrel of a gun. You have no choice but to accept it. "

Did you intend that as an argument against it?

While true, it is true. Fiat has a monopoly on the force that is used to back it. Crypto, without such a force, does not have that backing. And crypto is very unlikely to ever get it.

You might be upset that fiat has that monopoly by proxy, but you can be upset all you want, it's not going to change anything.

Anyone celebrating this as a win for free speech but doesn't read /. at -1 is a hypocritical moron.

You do want some speech removed, because it is strictly vandalism.

Being able to discern vandalism from legitimate but contrary thought is above the ability of the algorithms we have now.

Therefore you're either with a dumpster fire of 4chan or /. -1, or allowing for some human moderation and some human bias will naturally be in play.

Here, let's start: try to define the definition of a slur that yet allows for other contributing thought.

Comment Is it really a fixing anything? (Score 1) 201

That doesn't mean we should sit on our thumbs and do nothing about small things that are easy to fix.

Make sure you're actually fixing things. A 'single use' plastic bag is 5 or 6 grams of plastic and is incredibly easy to make. Reusable bags take dozens or hundreds the amount of resources to produce, and must be periodically washed, increasing the environment footprint even further.
