"The true fascist are the people who try to place control on disinformation being used to prop fascists!" - Musk, probably

Good thing heavy metal toxicity isn't a problem.

This is another reason why a lack of transparency with user votes is bad.

As to why it is seemingly done randomly in reddit, it is to decrease your global karma score to make you less influential and to discourage you from making new comments. You probably pissed off someone's troll farm in what they considered an influential subreddit. It might also interest you that reddit was explicitly named as part of a Russian influence effort here: https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1366201/dl - maybe some day we will see something similar for other obvious troll farms operating in Reddit.

It's not when it's your device doing the computing. All electronic devices should have visible hardware indicators for when their camara or microphone is on, but that's a consumer rights issue most people are dismissive of, so it's not happening. Some people even always want it on for the assistant functionality.

Because opposition parties generally have their groups in there, which would cause political backlash and distance the supporters that still use it. Not that banning social networks abusing their privilege through hidden moderation and promotion and selling their user's data so propagandist know who and how to target shouldn't be done, but right know it would be done under the counter-chants of "repression" in the particular cold war 2.0 state of affairs of the world today, and that's very politically taxing.

If X did that, then there wouldn't be this thread. It isn't just Google, it's every international corporation that has to deal with issues across the border. I'm sorry, bud, but outside of the Musk personality cult chamber, the guy is just incompetent, he just made and inherited a few risky bets that worked out for him and he's still riding their fading glory.

I think any country would ban a business whose CEO ignores requests by its judges and even proceeds to taunt them. An international business that decides which laws it does or does not follow is pretty dystopian, all X had to do was what Google has done for ages, comply with the law regionally.

X needs to start getting banned by governments and official governmental channels need to be moving out.

Sono Sion shut down, and good luck even getting your money back. Of course and shamelessly, Sono Motors and their CEOs get to continue to cruise through it. Wait EV startups out until they release is my advice, too much of an industry and competing markets locking new competition out. The only incentive to purchase into them, paying less, is also what puts your money at risk.

Sono Sion wasn't even Chinese. it was fully German. The dangerous thing about Chinese EVs is that they are much more certain to deliver, and that gives more of a false sense of security that they will continue to maintain and conform to regulations.

Yes, if you redefine the death penalty into being genocide, it is genocide, and if you shift the narrative onto a fictional, you can make it not be about genocide.

Brilliant points .......

Yeah, no, sorry bud, it's genocide. Just because it's not overt genocide does not mean it's not a thing. It's not just happening in Gaza, it's happening in the West Bank, here is Stephen Colbert talking about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqK3_n6pdDY

Just because they have more of an excuse in Gaza to do it much more flagrantly doesn't mean it isn't happening throughout Israel. Covert genocide, it's a thing.
