    I’m sure Tim goes home and ralfs in the toilet after these meetings. I feel sorry for him having to deal with this bullshit
    Yup, when you're the CEO of a company whose stock is held in millions of people's retirement accounts, you just have to grit your teeth through necessary but deeply, personally unpleasant tasks.

  • The future of internet liability is uncertain as congress targets Section 230

    I don't know how you have formed your ideas about this but you still have it completely backwards. Repealing Section 230 isn't going to stop, to use your word, "curation" of content by FB and others, it's just going to mean that they delete a lot of content that they now leave up. Individual users would still be "on the hook for their own posts," but anything the "curators" deem to put them on the hook as well, like false and defamatory posts from political operatives, will be removed. Without Section 230 a lot of individual "voices" are going to be muted, but the so called "curators" aren't going to be muted.
    Yes the curators won't be muted.  But now they will be legally responsible for the information that they put on their sites.  Just like any publisher. Because if you are curating a site, then you are a de facto publisher.

    That's all that repeal advocates want.  You should be legally answerable for what you allow to be printed on your newspaper, broadcasted on your TV network, displayed on your highway billboard, and now, posted on your website.

    Seriously, what is wrong or bad about that?

    The last SE was $429. Now it's $599. That's a $259 increase!
    Last time I checked, 599 - 429 = 170.  Innumeracy in America.

  • UK secretly orders Apple to let it spy on iPhone users worldwide

    tundraboytundraboy
    The UK demanding access to all iPhone users' data worldwide.   How hilarious.  Does Parliament think it's still the 19th century and we're all living under Pax Britannica?  No wonder they do stupid things like Brexit.

    It’s not so hard to build something, even an improve it, when someone else’s toil has paved the way - and when there are less ethical hurdles to slow you down.

    Yes, that's what I always think about the US, that eventually droped it's ethics concerns and had their German 'prisoners'  build rockets to go into space and later on the moon. *sarkasm off*

    Seriously EVERY 'new' invention is build on the shoulders of the scientists/researchers/inventors that came before ... and not all those inventions were used for purely ethical reasons.
    Yup, luckily, the US's Nazi rocket scientists were better than the Soviet's Nazi rocket scientists.
