It's coming to light due to the private equity buyout lead by esteemed real estate criminal Jared Kushner. This is likely anti-woke washing to entice a class of customers who have already moved along due to EA sucking for lots of other reasons which won't be addressed.

Why solve real problems intentionally created due to mismanagement when you can just play the culture war card and get a bunch of knee-jerk reactions?

Comment Wrong Target (Score 1) 77

This is like hitting a nail with the handle end of a hammer. The companies that need to be sued in order to put an end to this nonsense are the ones selling their movies on Amazon and iTunes and FandangoNow and all the rest. Ultimately, US law will need to be amended to keep Hollywood from ripping off consumers.

Comment Plant Meat (Score 2) 222

Plant meat is over 100 years old. Beyond and Impossible were trying to reinvent the wheel. I've been eating Morningstar Farms and other meat substitutes for 40 years. Choplets, which you can still buy, became popular during WW2 because of meat rationing but they were far from the earliest meat substitute. The same man for whom Kellogg's cereal is named also formed the Battle Creek Food Company which made meat substitutes - the best known being Protose which was made from wheat gluten, peanuts, and soy.

The problem is youtube/google is claiming they practice moderation but they don't. Even after content is reported for being illegal like in this case it gets to stay. Instead google is using moderation as an excuse for practicing editorializing instead which wasn't the intent of 230.

I'm curious what you think "unaffiliated" means, since whatever nefarious party is stealing Steve's likeness is definitely posting content on youtube.

Comment Re:Wasn't an offensive joke (Score 2) 162

The AP article added the context of the joke, which didn't make it funny but subjectively I would agree that it was non-serious. One does not passively say "kill all x" after accused of being one of x in a group chat with friends because she is serious.

A manual review and some minor counseling would have solved this problem, but apparently nobody in a position of leadership understood the point of this software.

Better yet throw them in jail without an opportunity to speak to their lawyer or friends/family. It's too optimistic to think that these cockroaches will be removed from positions of authority, but we can at least give them a dose of their own medicine so they can see how harmful it is.

Just as likely that she was the one being bullied. IDK why you would assume that an incompetent software package being implemented wrongly by a public district would have been correct. This claim that it was all done automatically without any human intervention is also just wrong. There's no way to perform an arrest without the officers involved making a determination of probable cause.

"Hurr durr, computer said you're guilty" isn't a defense.
