Comment ALL for US non control (Score 2) 24
I am all for the USA having zero controls on its Social media etc IN THE USA.
lets call it an experiment, if the USA dumbs down (even more), suffers more social ills, anarchy increases, or becomes a Billionaire class Oligarchy then the rest of the world knows it dodged a bullet.
In the meantime the rest of the world can put in age appropriate controls, just like they do with many other things.
They can also teach kids critical thinking, online safety, etc, etc so that they have the tools to deal with the BS on line.
AND they can give parents help, education and IT training so that they CAN implement parental controls.
As is regularly said, if you don't like it in our country (with sensible controls) then move elsewhere...ie to the USA.

This is good not just for job hunters who can avoid wasting their time, but also for employees who can see what they are paying new hires.
Oh comeon, how are employers supposed to make a honest profit if they can't screw the help?

Almost nothing on Wikipedia is true, but all of it is "verifiable" in that there's at least one published source making the claim. Even if 99.9% of all other sources say the opposite.
(The Haka is not, for example, a war chant. Which is attested to, but because it's claimed to be online, it is "verifiable".)
Comment Wikipedia has a vast number of errors. (Score 1) 60
The number of errors is huge, the number of "official editors" who know anything about the subject is extremely small, and this has always been the case. This is why nobody reputable cites Wikipedia. Wikipedia is where you go to find out what is potentially interesting, but you ALWAYS obtain the facts from elsewhere, if you've any sense.
