That's literally not what I said, kid. Learn to read before you come at me again.

You said "unless the company is ready to spy on them on an ongoing basis to ensure they're not compromised by Chinese security services."
You seem to have forgotten.
You've been doing pretty well lately, don't backslide.
You missed the point there. Every single Microsoft employee is spied on through the OS no matter where they are located. That's what telemetry does.
It's Microsoft. Their OS is spyware. Mission accomplished.
Try a law library next time.
"A common carrier is a person or a commercial enterprise that transports passengers or goods for a fee and establishes that their service is open to the general public."
Facebook (for example) is a private service. You have to have a membership and it can be terminated at any time and for any reason.
Facebook is NOT a "telecommunications company" — your ISP is, and whoever they get internet access from is, and whoever Faceboot gets it from is. Facebook's job is not carrying your packets.
Common carriers are also liable for the content they carry except for damage caused by an act of nature, an act of public enemies, fault or fraud by the shipper, or an inherent defect in the goods. Facebook has no legal obligation to you to deliver your content.
Facebook did offer a VPN service called Onavo (which was spyware) and THAT was a common carrier, EXCEPT that it was inspecting packages for non-legal reasons. Common carriers are supposed to deliver packages without inspection unless it is required.
Social media meets literally none of the elements of the definition of a common carrier.
We were discussing Windows guests on Linux hosts, which, under Virtualbox was able to play Youtube and other videos very well some 12-15 years ago.
We were discussing 3d graphics for Windows guests on Linux hosts, which under Virtualbox was always bad and is still bad.
Sadly, Brother is now dabbling in toner DRM, so they may also have a dark future. Do extra homework... Sigh.
There is really no question whether you are making things up while accusing me of same. If you had been paying attention to discussions here on this subject you might be up to speed, though you probably wouldn't. Read the sibling to this comment for concrete supporting examples you seem to be ignorant of.
I'm all for that, but that's not what's going to happen. Or if it does, it will only be because it is being superseded by something worse.
Once again you have not the first clue what a common carrier is, or you are being disingenuous about it because you think I'm dumb enough to fall for that shit. Look it up, noob.
There he is again, proving that my punch line was apt since he's a giant pussy.
The way you rule is that corporations are legal fictions and therefore do not have rights. People working for corporations can and do.
Not being able to clip it out didn't mean that it was doing something though, hence further study was needed. It could have just been acting as a delay timer...
Cryptocurrency poisons everything it touches.
The same people who believe in it can be counted on to believe other stupid shit.
This seems to be to require the tech companies to remove evil material within a short period (as of 24 hours) of being informed of its presence on their site. This allows freedom of speech - the material can still be published - but enables its removal when it is identified
Enables? That's a funny word for "requires". It's obviously less free than what we have in the USA now, which oh by the way actually enables removal of bad content when identified.
