What would he call it? Trumpateer?

Can 4chan be considered a social media company? The identities of the posters aren't known to the other users and there aren't any profiles. It serves to limit the social aspect.

Fact checking itself for individuals has been useful, but sites that have claimed to be fact checkers have always been trying to push some particular side. There's nothing like drawing in a gullible audience who sees a group of "fact checkers" as an authority and arbiter of truth and then telling them whatever you want them to believe. It's fascinating.

Your first link is paywalled.

I was able to read the whole thing just fine. Maybe you hit too many NY Times articles recently and reached some kind of quota

They would just point to the older version of the readme and claim that the intent of the software has always been to download copyrighted works

Why 10 friends when 10 strangers will suffice? I can see activities like theater rental saving a lot of groups on sites like Meetup. I'd love to rent a theater for people to get together and watch some classic Giallos or thrillers

The summary has an error. George Floyd killed himself through a drug overdose. The cops didn't kill him.

In Minnesota, the publication City Pages posted a piece on a local apple orchard. They condemned the orchard of blatant racism because they referred to C19 as the "China virus" on Facebook and refused to apologize. That's all it takes to get the attention of a large local paper. For a while, this Facebook post managed to be more egregious and important than the actual problems that have been happening in Minneapolis lately, like the riots, crime waves, homeless people living in tents as winter approaches, and so on.

That said, the post resulted in positive attention for the orchard. Many residents drove out of their way just to support the farm because they felt that the attacks were ridiculous and unjustified.

I feel that the same sort of thing will happen with businesses on Yelp if they do this. Some users may actually be attracted to the "racist" businesses if they feel that the label is being misapplied and will go out of their ways to support them. I also wonder if this new label will result in physical altercations at these businesses which could result in lawsuits against Yelp.

No doubt that businesses could financially negotiate to have such a damning label removed from their listings on Yelp.

The Sunrise movement actively goes into schools disguised as a youth group, then teaches them how to be activists online and in person. I'm surprised there was no mention of this.

I never said there was anything "magical" about it. If you're flipping burgers in a vegan village, you are probably going to make less than if you had the same job in a bustling city where people frequently eat out.

You're comparing a salaried job that can be worked remotely with a minimum wage job that has to be performed in person?

Same here. I went to the ocean, swam at the beach, and did a lot of sightseeing around the States. It's been a great Summer.

So does any online communication count as social media to you? Why not snail mail? You certainly weren't snapping selfies and livestreaming on your smartphone back in the 80s.

The Internet of today is very different than the Internet of 20 years ago. Social media and video platforms didn't exist. It's important for parents to understand what their kids are getting into.
