All social media platforms that convey user generated content are effectively communication networks and should not be able to allowed to discriminate, per the Communications Act of 1934. Furthermore, when a virtual monopoly exists by virtue of the 'lock-in' social networks effectively insure when one's acquaintances are all on said network, then said network acts as a de-facto government, and Constitutional protections become necessary. Slashdot, of all places should be an amiable place to clarify these important points.

I'm a runner. Sitting still is what I gladly do when I'm not running. Of course this could change now with the vampire threat level going to Orange. I think the experimental design warrants some further scrutiny here, but I've gotta run ;).

+5 Informative? Apparently media bias is no stranger to Slashdot. Has anyone seen a decent analysis of propagation dynamics of Sars-COV2 from its alleged start in China?

I believe with the centralization of some exchange servers in the .gov and .mil domains this sort of thing is almost guaranteed. Of course I've had emails strangely disappear from my inbox in certain corporate environments.
