If people use the Alexa toolbar it adds a header to their user agent you could use to block them[0], but Alexa is pure junk and not worth concerning yourself with[1].
I also don't think people quite realise the privacy implications of using that addon, it phones home on literally every page a user is on, that's how it works. Every single site, (porn) link, whatever is tracked.

Wikipedia explains it better https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki#Semantic_Me...
It's basically wikipedia software (mediawiki) with structured data markup that lets you extract (sometimes dynamic) data and use it meaningfully.

For a protest to achieve something it has to have a goal, and the goal is always 'protesting', that doesn't change anything.
If you want to overthrow the Government then go shoot your local senator[0], taking the kids and waving hand made protest signs at the local park isn't going to do sh*t.
[0] It's an example. I'm in no way advocating anyone actually do this!
No-one likes being called a 'noob' even if they are. Compare it with something like Frontend Focus ( https://frontendfoc.us/ )
It's the distributed web and it's the future, there's tons of videos on youtube as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skMTdSEaCtA
Uh..welcome to Facebook?
> I don't want to have them come to me to update their website everytime they need the content changed though.
No matter what site you set them up with, or how easy you make it for them, they'll still come to you. The 'trick' is to agree some service model up front so they know they have to pay you and you won't do it for free.
The victim did it to themselves, it's like playing with a loaded gun then complaining when you accidentally shoot yourself in the face. A bad workman always blames their tools. At the very least they should have learnt Git.
If it's a 'bad' post and the user is in Thailand or similar place then either disable the button or pop up a warning saying 'are you sure? this means a lifetime in jail'. I could see it promoting self-censorship but also cases like this would be reduced.
That's why the distributed web exists, things like Freenet ( https://freenetproject.org/) Beaker ( https://beakerbrowser.com/ ) and MaidSafe ( https://maidsafe.net/ ) and tons more exist.
I don't support Nazis, but people should have free speech, even if it's hate speech. Incidents like this will make people realise that in reality a handful of companies 'control' the Internet, and when a company like Cloudflare that positioned itself as a champion of 'free speech' does a 180 like this (no matter how seemingly justified) it's going to push people to alternatives.

She messaged him on Facebook, that's not a professional environment, it's social. He took it as such, his messages weren't inappropriate. Labelling it as 'sexism' is a little much, it's normal human interaction.
Creating AI with human level intelligence isn't going to be so great, most people are complete idiots. Creating AI with above human intelligence is a different story.
This is why namecoin and .bit domains are so great, it's basically registering your domain on the blockchain so it can't be censored.
Don't let the title put you off, it's very accessible and you'll learn a lot.
Or they did receive an email and it went into their spam/junk folder. In a situation like this it might be better to email everyone if only to say your glasses are safe. Although that would open them to legal liability if they're wrong.
