• On the post: Republicans Keep Taking Credit For Local Broadband Projects Funded By Federal Bills They Voted Against

  A representative IS allowed to agree with some provisions of the bill, while voting against it because they disagree with the overall package.

  That's absolutely true. But then they shouldn't try to take credit for the benefits of the package if it's voted through anyway. You don't get to take credit for something you opposed.

  I dread to think of the dataset it's been trained on if that's the case.

• On the post: Hillary Clinton Joins The Chorus Of Ignorant Pundits Insisting Section 230 Must Go

  

  Strawb ( profile ), 02 Apr, 2024 @ 11:44pm

  I agree that section 230 must be repealed because Silicon Valley, the government, and users have had over three decades of history of a concerted effort to conceal corruption, high crimes, treason, organized crime, and crimes against humanity.

  Even if that were true, what does section 230 have to do with those crimes?

  My comments are flagged on this site without explanation.

  The explanation is that you spam the comments sections with deluded nonsense.

  As trolls go, you’re a step up from certain others that we’ve entertained recently.

  Is he really? At least bratty Matty's stupidity and ignorance is somewhat entertaining. Iravani's text walls are just annoying.

  Occam's Razor.

  AT&T’s denial suggests they either couldn’t track down the origins of the leak, which suggests substandard security and privacy standards and not-so competent investigators. Or it knows precisely where this data came from, and the trajectory of the transfer raises privacy questions they don’t want to answer because it could involve regulatory and reputational risk.

  Hmm, incompetence or malice...I better refer back to Hanlon for this one.

  Stop regurgitating the same snippet, and actually cite a specific source.

  But why bother coming up with far-fetched theories like this?

  Not sure how "He made a typographical mistake" is a far-fetched theory, but okay.

  Yeah, I don't know how, but Moody somehow made a very strange typo, turning "2008" into "1998".

  All evidence to the contrary.

  What claim have I made that requires evidence? And I noticed you have yet to back up your earlier claim.

  it is primarily controlled by Germany

  How do you figure?

  They created the EU and Euro to retaliate against America for both world wars.

  You just said the US helped Europe through two world wars. Why would they retaliate against them for that, and how does creating a union and a currency do that?

  "Only computers are skeptical of my claims." What a weird comment.

  You made the claim, you provide the evidence. If you're not willing to do that, don't make the claim in the first place.

  More examples of EU double standards, burdensome, anti-American regulation includes things like demanding that if Tesla wants to sell cars in Europe, that they open up factories in Europe

  Citation needed.

  The EU is just a useless burdensome destructive, parasitic liability that America can no longer afford to associate with, after helping them in two world wars

  The EU was established after WWII.

  You haven't seen the post, Matty, so you don't know what the "meme" actually consisted of. Additionally, other reposts of this event mention that the woman had posted pro-Palestine messages, and given the emotions involved in that conflict, it's not outside the realm of possibility that her post(s) were so inflammatory that it caused Facebook to contact the authorities. In short, you don't have the whole story, so shut up with the conspiracy theories until you do.

  What the actual fuck is going on with these ridiculous bills at the moment? Do these politicians just think that doing anything is better than doing nothing, in case people start wondering why they voted for them in the first place?
