It would be even funnier if Mr. Nutterbutter was hugging Ms Streisand while both held the sign. Ahem.

The cynic in me says this is a coordinated effort to try to poke a hole at stuff the entrenched power doesn't like. Just like with copyright trolling. And when the other part of me says "nah, it can't be" this cynic whispers "Edward Snowden".
I've been reading the same empty comments for years now. All the sponsors are stated in a very public manner but nothing is enough for the almighty Anonymous Coward.

It won't. Ms Rowling will sue them because "that-article-that-shall not be named from he-who-must-not-be-named" contains 2 copyrighted and possibly trademarked terms or all of its semantic iterations.

Games are not exclusive to the US and yet we don't see nearly as many (if any) mass shootings as in the US. Why? Please exclude countries at war or undergoing heavy civil unrest.
Please ask Mr Bevin this. And record a video, I want to see the faces he will make while his brain twists around the answer.
"how do you build in an "immune system" that keeps "bad speech" under some kind of control?"
By developing critical thinking. This can be done at school without resorting to partisanship or religious inclinations. A person capable of critical thinking will naturally question partisan and religious bs. Not saying it's an easy task and it would take more than 1 generation to work. And of course you need to have a government that is willing to pick the fight. So it's kind of very hard to implement.
Re: Techdirt is jeering how difficult reform is. You drug addicts know detox is painful. Society should have never "liberalized". Nor should "the economy" have been turned over to central bankers. ALL these bad results were entirely predicted!
"Society should have never "liberalized"."
Oh yes it should. And the fact that it is slowly liberalizing is a nightmare to conservative morons like you so it's not a surprise you are flailing incoherently all over.
I don't think it's fully enforced. The compymorons just target the low hanging fruits and it doesn't impact daily life as the German law will. Public awareness started growing when the copyright industry started clamping down on single mothers and elderly with iron fists. Today there are many more people I know that believe the system is broken and unfair than 20 years ago. Me included.

Indeed, you should take your medicines properly. Maybe then you'll finally leave this site you hate so much but can't seem to distance yourself from.
Anyway.
"have an alleged Right to do as please and control "natural" persons."
First, they cannot control 'natural persons' whatever you mean with that. Anybody is free NOT TO USE their services. Second, yes they can do as they please within the law in the US where most of of your bs is directed to. In this specific article he is criticizing the interference from the government in an issue that should be left to the companies and even if he disagrees with Facebook policies regarding real names. In this case this ruling may be backed up by a law but said law is misguided in its essence.
It's amusing to see you accusing Mike of forcing some topic into some place it wouldn't rise naturally. You are an ace at doing this. Truly a psychology case study you are.
