Moderated wrong post; replying to remove.

A company has to (theoretically) follow the laws of any country in which is does business, for business done in that country, at least. If Youtube is showing ads to Canadian viewers, they are doing business in that country. Just because a company puts their HQ in Ireland for tax purposes, it does not mean they only have to obey Irish laws when dealing with American consumers.

It's oddly coincidental that I just finished reading that again a couple days ago. The goal was to create a single replacement part for a stranded alien's space ship, but I find both similarly amusing..

If you think Joe Biden is representative of the "extreme left", you have lost all perspective.

Also I wrote a song called Caves of Steel.

Hey! I was thinking about you but had no way to get in touch. Ping me somehow!

Sorry I’ll do better next time my bad

I don’t know if she did, and don’t care. She was great and we were sad to see her go.

I left because the company was bought, and the new owners laid off some of its more expensive long-tenured employees, since they were putting the site effectively into maintenance mode, trying to sell if off. They just wanted to keep ThinkGeek and didn’t care to improve the other properties. I was forced out, but I was there a long time, and it was good for me to move on when I did.

So you did not read the story. OK.

So the text contradicts the headline: it is not about climate change, but about criticizing the company in public.

This is a fake news headline. Please fix it.

(I worked with Maren briefly. She was great to work with. I also worked at Slashdot for many years, and this headline is trash.)

Why does your job have to be your social interaction? Jobs are for earning money. Why not socialize with people you like rather than people you're stuck with

A true believer in ... what?

No, it is not related to capitalism. Many Marxists share the view I am espousing, in fact.

I think it is fine to ban extremely graphic content, including sex and violence, as you described.

I think it is not fine to ban ideas.

So yes, allow cult recruiting, mentally ill people posting, anorexia promotion. All of that. Yes. Absolutely.

There is a potential difference between not-promotion, and censoring. There is definitely an expressed desire among some to censor, ban, block objectionable content like videos promoting pizzagate and other nonsense. I think that is insane.

But refusing to promote some content, that is a potentially different story, depending on how it is done.
