I am grateful that I have never named my arse.

Don't they mean "free target"?

> The lawsuit seeks a jury trial, a permanent injunction to prevent additional illegal robocalls, and financial penalties including "restitution or other compensation on behalf of residents" for illegal calls. Let's add "a smoking crater where the company offices used to be."

I guarantee that every signatory of that letter has freakish tastes that would make the average Redditor blush or barf.

The social media companies should immediately move all their servers out of India. If the government wants to censor speech, they can try to create their own Great Firewall.

Agreed, although I might go as high as 8 directs. More than that and you'll spend all your time in 1:1s and HR work. (Startups with everyone in the same room, a clear vision, and a short runway are different.)

If a theocracy wants to block a valuable service, that's one more nail in their eventual coffin. Wikipedia (and other online tools) shouldn't help them restrict what their citizens can see.

Move all Wikipedia servers to the U.S. It would increase latency a bit for the rest of the world, but would prevent government censorship from the EU and even more authoritarian governments like Pakistan.

The Chinese Communist Party lying? Surely you jest.

Don't you mean West Taiwan?

That's a good way to get banned here.

. . . since Lisp. Let's just start using it again.

I would dearly like to see these "tech giants" simply pull out of locations that want to censor their people. Both Google and Facebook can offer their services without having a physical presence in Indonesia. If the government chooses to block content, let them try but don't actively help them.

Lucky bastards.

Apple wouldn't have to turn down the revenue, just get out of the country and supply hardware and software from subsidiaries elsewhere.
