strathmeyer··on Dr. Seuss books deemed offensive will be delisted from eBay

strathmeyer··on Apple has threatened to ban Parler from the App Store
I am an old school hacker/programmer and for some reason I can't rise above 300 karma on HN because of how much people hate discussing free speech. In another thread someone called me 'Joseph Stalin' for advocating for free expression.
strathmeyer··on Apple has threatened to ban Parler from the App Store

Why what's the second closest they got to wiping out our government?

strathmeyer··on Reddit bans subreddit group “r/DonaldTrump”
Content moderation is a form of free speech. You don't get to tell others what to do just because of your wayward political views. They taught us this in elementary school.
strathmeyer··on Dear Google: Search Competition should be 1 Click Away so why 15+ on Android?
No. And my Android has never respected my search engine choice. I don't understand why people are acting like there is something wrong with us a customers. I have a CS degree. Why can't I choose a search engine? Also the "news" that Google shows me by spying on the very few searches I have accidentally been tricked into Googling are often clickbait and factually incorrect.

strathmeyer··on Toronto-area lawyer had to flee Canada after taking on the tow truck industry
If your car is undrivable they can charge you to repair anything you damaged, such as the Jersey barrier. If you can drive your car a few hundred feet after the accident (cracked radiator) they can't get that money from you and don't care.
strathmeyer··on Suppression is a bigger scandal than the actual story
Content moderation is a form of free speech.
strathmeyer··on The Now-Defunct Firms Behind 8chan, QAnon
We're all Internet users here and reporting the news isn't what we are going to consider doxxing.

Telling Twitter what to say violates their free speech.
strathmeyer··on United States vs. Dread Pirate Roberts (Silk Road) FBI Report (2013) [pdf]
It is highly unlikely anyone with any DarkNet experience would think they could use it for murder for hire. It's the sort of thing you can claim without any evidence and your average citizen would believe at face value.

Their tweets? The things they say to get elected?
strathmeyer··on Gallup: 81% of Black Americans Want Police to Retain Local Presence
I'm an American and have only seen the police rioting. Defunding the police is the most reasonable option I have heard in my lifetime. Seems like the perfect solution, there is nothing bad to say about it, it's opponents are left to make up "widespread rioting".

Epstein wanted an island of pregnant women raising his babies.

strathmeyer··on Publishing thousands of police discipline records that New York kept secret
I think it's easy for everyone here to estimate the actual amount of malfeasance by taken the number of times they've seen police behave inappropriately (dozens) and divide it by the number of complaints they've made (zero).

I guess you would also need to go make a complaint and see what the odds of it being taken are.

strathmeyer··on Extracting video and audio from used police body cam
Forth tweet says "so this happened" and is a picture of a wedding ring on a woman's finger. Next is a Voltron gif, a pic of some woman's makeup, and a fantasy corset.
