Comment Your fellow employees hate you (Score 2, Interesting) 188

When you're making asshole political comments at the office all the time. People around you wish you'd shut up with that crap and do your job. No one asked you what your half-informed opinion is on some random political topic.

The reaction to Coinbase is typical. Jerks who can't shut up and try to get along with people are outraged that Coinbase won't cater to jerks who can't shut up and get along with people.

You're still defending Twitter and Facebook preventing voters from communicating information that's bad for Facebook and Twitter's politician. You should stop defending it. It's not magically ok just because there are a few other communication mechanisms that aren't censored.

Democracy requires open communication. Facebook and Twitter decided they exclusively allow communication only when it benefits their chosen politician. You should stop defending their anti-democratic censorship.

So you're 100% onboard with major corporations preventing communication among voters on specific topics a few weeks before an election? When Google and Facebook and Twitter get together to decide what info voters shouldn't see, you're going to be cheering them on?

I'd like to have a real democracy with real democratic elections instead of elections decided by 3 or 4 communication corporations' filtering out info that's bad for their chosen candidate.

The statement being refuted is that the information is hidden. It is not.

I said they tried to hide it or attempted to hide it, not that they successfully hid it so that no one could ever find it. You should stop playing defense for them attempting to hide information from voters. Do you support the Communist Chinese Party attempting to censor because they only hide information from some people? Do you defend it this way?

Claim 2: they're attempting hide information from voters. You can't prove they're just trying to something they feel is disinformation

They are preventing people from communicating this information. That's undisputed.
