Rich white dude.

Anyway it is slightly different that shooting some guy with his hands up, or shooting some guy running away - a pretty standard cop thing. The guy is just as dead, and the point is that the cop was negligent yet being held to different - much lower - standard that a citizen. One expects cops to be held to higher standards, but we find that it just isn't so.

I had said that in the story submission, but the "editors" took it out.

I usually just send them shampoo and other hygene supplies.

You may call me Mr. Piss (from the great state of Washington), Mr. Baric. That's Mr. Frosty Piss.

Perhaps you might have the balls to log into your account and say that?

I'm not taking a political stance here, only pointing out the way that content complaints work on most social media platforms.

You need to get a grip and behave like an adult if you intend on adding anything of value to the conversation, which your childish comments do not.

Why not have the balls to sign in to your account and say that, troll? I'm only pointing out the obvious, not agreeing or disagreeing with any particular political view.

Ah yes, only the most reliable sources at Slashdot...

But anyway, the more likely explanation is that like many social media platforms, Facebook uses automated systems to deal with thousands and thousands of content complaints every day. Usually, after a certain number of complaints, the system automatically blocks the content, and the original poster has to challenge the block. Keep in mind that due to the volume of content complaints that these types of services get, humans rarely get involved in the beginning, it is simply all automated.

It's possible and even probable that the complaints themselves are âoeorchestratedâ by people with political aims, perhaps even government employees. But that doesn't mean that Facebook is somehow âoecooperatingâ with the Russians because the head of their Russian office is, well, Russian.

Seriously? You don't read much on the FOnly if those European Microsoft customers broke a US law and used Microsoft to house the data about such criminal activity on their servers., apperently.

You are incorrect. the case would impact Europian Microsoft customers as well. Indeed, the account in question is almost certainly held by a non-American.

I literally read your anicdotal comments literally once, and must say I literally agree with your experiences. Literally.

Of course. Which is why all the multi-nationals that you mention will weigh in with "Friend of the Court" briefs.

Of course it's "self interest", and more accuratly "self preservation". Micrsoft is a business that ultimatly has to answer to their stockholders. If it comes to pass that US "law enforcement" can reach out and get personal data from non-US servers, it will completely destroy Microsoft's European business, due the the much stricter data privacy laws in Europe. It would be "game over" for Microsoft in Europe.

What an obnoxious thing to say. You confirm that you are an elitist asshole.

Whatever...
