This is a stretch.

They could’ve withheld the content if I didn’t pay. They let me have it on their site delivered from their servers. I didn’t walk out with stolen goods.

I find a legislative commitment to literacy is far superior to assuming we will always have the right to learn freely in this country.

Freetube baybeeeeee

Cloudflare is not an ISP and doesn’t haven’t the same relationship to consumers as an ISP. This is quite the stretch.

There are major issues with their market capture and role but it’s a very different problem than net neutrality/ISP’s acting as monopolies.

Yeah that and the NEL during Covid were, legally/strategically speaking, very poor decisions.

Comments like yours are what lead people to behave that way man. I understand I’m coming off very harsh but I honestly think people need to take these things more seriously

I read a great comment the other day: “think about who your memes give ammo to.“ The same goes for conspiracy theories. You need to think about the audience that could be impacted by it, you are contributing to the cloud of misinformation.

Jfc I am so tired of conspiracies asserted so confidently anytime anything interesting happens. Can y’all just wait for like two goddamn seconds for information to come out instead of letting XXpatriotXx or whoever on YouTube and tiktok whip y’all up into a frenzy? Or are we all just going to start acting like tinfoil hat rightwingers desperately trying to make their lives sound more interesting?

Is it French?

Yeah it definitely has a “writing your congressional rep“ quality to it. Your one note or comment is rarely going to move the needle unless there is something truly illegal going on like workplace harassment that is undeniable, but when a lot of people keep bringing up the same issues/departments/people (maybe not explicitly) it can make a difference. Sometimes the squeaky wheel does get the oil lol

For those jumping in on this conversation, I am not saying it is always like this. I’m just saying it often is. Most companies operate at least somewhat practically when it comes to these things. They don’t want to hire new people, they don’t want inter-departmental strife. They don’t want projects not getting done because of toxic leadership. Beyond a certain threshold they often will act. Often it takes way too long and requires way too much from employees, but still, sometimes they act.

YMMV especially depending on the industry.

Yeah I’m with you on this one. All of these people saying “don’t say shit” think they are being smart (and I imagine most of them haven’t even been in the situation) but the reality is you are just making things worse for everyone else and getting fired after something like that is actually extremely uncommon because it’s very easy to point to and demand severance or just for making a lot of racket if that’s not an option.

It’s very easy to get laid off in the US. They don’t need to resort to such tactics. most of the time internal culture things are either ignored or decent people higher up make some small changes in their own departments/areas specifically. I find it’s a great way to subtly point to toxic leadership, especially if other people are doing it.

Yeah I definitely remember how it felt, I’m just struck at how I can’t remember any names, any bits of the plot, any lines, etc. yet I’d still totally recommend it!

As a data privacy advocate, it is a privilege to be able to care about data privacy.

What’s funny is that I watched the first season of slow horses, really enjoyed it, and can’t tell you a damn thing about it. Barely a year ago too. I haven’t been able to motivate myself to watch season two because I can’t remember why I liked season one lol

When did I do that?

You’re right that was a shitty tone and undeserved.

That being said my point is and always been that there is a way more acceptance of this conspiracy from republicans. I said a lot of democrats believe it. I said it was mainstream.

So you’re just going to pretend the first half of this conversation didn’t happen and that I didn’t leave plenty of room for that obvious issue we all see. Cool.

The adult thing to do would be admit your information was outdated and wrong.

Maybe try using numbers that aren’t over 4 years old over studies that are less than 2 years old.

85% GOP, 53% democrats. Yes it’s mainstream but the gap is massive. Hence why I said it’s not even close.
