It's not so much that we'll learn stuff about Trump we didn't already know or suspect, it's that's it's from a close family member and clinical psychologist. It's going to be much harder to discredit her words than those from others without that familiarity and expertise.
Exactly, YouTube doesn't get to decide what the value of their product is, customers do. And if they decide it's not 15% better value than it was when they decided to sign up, they might decide to take that money elsewhere.
"Someone signs a complex NDA, and you are on their side if they disgracefully want to violate it?"
There is nothing disgraceful about violating a NDA when the circumstances have changed so dramaticaLLY from when it was signed. When Trump was just a real estate developer his sphere of harm was relatively small. Now that he's done four years of damage both inside and outside the US, and wants another four (almost certainly worse) years, it would be disgraceful to not let everyone the truth about him.
"Is this like when the "experts" and "leaders" say that you can't go to a funeral, but you can go to a riot?"
Is this like when disingenuous assholes conflate completely different arguments and still get them completely wrong?
""It's just good business" is never an excuse for blatant disregard of social responsibility."
Facebook has no more of a social responsibility to provide you a platform than your local grocery has to provide you food. They're businesses, and they get to run them whatever (legal) way they want.
*"So...you a*holes admit then by implication that Twitter does indeed silence conservative voices..."
I don't recall anyone admitting to that. Twitter does not silence discussions about traditional conservative values like family values, law and order, fiscal responsibility, etc. Twitter does silence discussions that are racist, xenophobic, homophobic, etc. Are you saying these are also conservative values? Coz that might be your problem right there.
"You will silence any view you disagree with because you are too afraid to confront anyone about anything."
Lots of people here are disagreeing with you and you're being 'confronted' out the wazoo, and yet your supposedly 'silenced' voice is making an awful lot of noise. Your own many, many words, which I can clearly see, are making a complete mockery of your claims.
"blah blah blah on and end endless bullshit because you have nothing to say."
That sounds an awful lot like "LA LA LA I can't hear you!"
Ideologically the two parties are completely different than they were 150 years ago. No political historian, or anyone who can read a damn history book, would seriously argue otherwise.
Right wing ideology was directly responsible for the GFC, which took away quite a lot of nice things including the company I worked for, so you can fuck right off with that shit.
"The local ABC affiliate in Philadelphia has the fairly remarkable story of how the FBI used Etsy, Poshmark and Linkedin to track down someone suspected of torching two Philadelphia police cars."
I don't think we should be describing it as remarkable, it just sounds like competent detective work to me. Y'know, their job.
I suspect their efforts wouldn't have been quite so remarkable if it had just been a couple of private cars though.
"You want immunity for yourself, but not for police, is that right?"
Conflating two vastly different problems is the absolute stupidest form of argument. Police should be held accountable for their illegal actions. Websites should not be held accountable for someone else's illegal actions. Not rocket science.
"It's easy to see how snapchat's filter would encourage morons to behave moronically."
It's easy to see how practically anything could be construed to encourage morons to behave moronically. We can't design our world, both physically and legally, to prevent all morons from being morons.
That's not enough though. The question was "How does a growing child develop such a disregard for human life?", and that's not something that can come from training alone. The training might convince you that it's now ok to indulge in such behavior, but that alone shouldn't be enough to treat the lives of others with so little regard.
I wonder if that standard police training might actually weed out the good ones, who leave when that realise they're not happy with doing things the way they're trained to.

They were banned because they didn't follow the rules they agreed to when signing up, despite ample opportunity to do so.
