Chinese government surveillance system....

by mikeflood in

) to capture suspects...maybe i amgetting old, but i never thought about big brother becoming a reality..

I could totally see silicon valley push a social credit system where you get a rating for "unspeech" which is shared on the major platforms (twitter, facebook, youtube, etc) which will affect you free speech on the net in various way (comments, shares, etc.) and perhaps sold to future employers. Platforms that fail to recognize it could then be punished through absence, similar to how videos with conservative views are de-monitized on youtube right now.

We have already seen the mass shaming campaigns of so-called "nazis" and nobody batted an eye...

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/how-to-escape-from-jehovah-s-witnesses-religion#/.

for $150: collaboration with the backer so that their story of successfully escaping an abusive belief system (300 words max) features along with others in the final pages of how to escape from jehovah's witnesses.

the text will be written by the author but will include a minimum of one quote worded by the backer.

Wow this is greedy. John Cedars strikes me as a greedy drama lady-of-the-night who would turn around and defend the WT if he thought he could make a few bucks (or get a few clicks) from it

For some reason he is worshipped at the exjw forum on reddit (think he knows the owners or something) but I am happy that bullshit wont fly here.

Repeal of Internet Neutrality. How will it affect surfers?

today the fcc voted against internet neutrality..

@faithnomore: nope, and I don't care.

Your example only proves we don't need these regulations since the internet worked just fine in 2007.

The market will sort it out; it is always better than unnecessary regulations that Big Companies want to push onto us "for our benefit" (LOL).

If Hillary had won, we would have a bazillion laws on the books against "fake news" == censorship. Thanks god that didn't happen; instead we have FREE internet and LOWER taxes.

"Net neutrality" is just like "racism"; it is a word liberals are sooo happy to redefine to mean something completely different thank you expect and then use it to hit people over their heads with a ton of stupid rules to ensure so-called "fairness". That google and facebook likes net neutrality tells me EVERYTHING I need to know & I am happy we finally got rid of it.

tax reform..net neutrality... next month the Russia probe is probably done.

Jesus Is A Myth

Everyone should look at a talk by Richard Carrier. He uses mathematical methods he has developed himself to demonstrate Jesus probably didn't exist. Very convincing stuff!

So, is God a rapist!?

by stuckinarut2 in

ok, i apologise in advance if this seems irreverent to those who believe in god.. but, the bible says that god (jehovah) impregnated mary.

without her consent.

so that would seem to be rape...right?.

hothabanero

troll or not, it is worthless input. It is like sending an angry letter to a video game company because a zombie shooter triggered someones germophobia. I fully second the motion to get back on topic and let David recover in peace! David if you are real I wish you and your family the very best!

@cofty: you got contacted by the relatives? did they prove they knew David IRL?

it is a bizarre way to deal with this issue. There are a million worse places on the internet (for instance, the youtube comments section) & it will in no way help David.

in real life, a relative would just have closed the account (=changed password) and dealt with it on that end.

I am sorry if this come off as a bit offensive, but it has to be said: I am like 99.9% sure we are dealing with a troll. I have seen this tactic elsewhere, along with the related "I am from the police and the poster XX just killed himself last night, we are here to investigate the harassment leading up to his dead and would like your personal information"

The "fuckings" and the "I might sound like David but.." stuff on the previous page are IMO sure giveaways.
