Want to have a discussion about surviving rape? Maybe you don't want to blast that out to the public. Especially since having your real name attached makes it easier for your attacker to find, stalk, and attack you again if it's your own rape under discussion. Just sayin'.
Charlie Hebdo Bows To Assassins' Veto, Hecklers' Veto; Will No Longer Mock Mohammed Bloody finally! While I naturally don't agree with the action that forced this decision, you do have to admit that the decisions made at Charlie Hebdo did cause its staff members' deaths. If the magazine had mocked all religious figureheads equally rather than only Mohammed, it would have had more of a leg to stand on. As it is, I have zero sympathy for Charlie Hebdo, choosing instead to reserve it for the murdered staff and their family members.
According to that report, the B.C. privacy laws "prevent public bodies such as primary and secondary schools, universities, hospitals, government-owned utilities, and public agencies from using U.S. services when personal information could be accessed from or stored in the United States." The mentioned report is correct. British Columbia's privacy laws prevent accessing any international network such as the Internet, international phone calls, and airmail. In fact, the laws are so strict that they prevent international travel to and from BC in case personal information makes its way outside of Canada's borders in people's heads. Hey, Devonavar. Quit lying! If you were really in BC, you wouldn't be able to comment on any US website thanks to personal data privacy laws so overweening that they restrict trade. ;)
[...] you realize your a puppet. No, I didn't realise you're my puppet, but thanks for informing me (watch your homophones). And just so you know, you basically just accused of being a shill of Uber someone who has absolutely no connection with the company, not even to use its services. Assumption much?
Actually, I'm not the exception, I'm the rule. Most people online are polite whether or not they are anonymous, the flamers and griefers are a very loud minority. The best weapon against online attacks is persistent identity, not real names. That way, you can police communities without exposing users to stalkers or outing trans people to their bosses, to give only two of the many examples.
People vandalise memotial walls on Facebook, but I haven't turned into out_of_the_blue. Please think of a more reasonable explanation than attacking anonymity. :p
And linking to a YouTube vid about Uber allegedly tax dodging by a guy whose book is being sold by a company that's avoided a much larger amount of UK taxes proves what exactly? Come back when you have evidence of your accusation by somebody who isn't such a bloody hypocrite. 'Kay?
As part of the 2013 law that legalized ride-hailing in California, companies are required to prepare an annual report with data about rides provided through the app. So Uber shouldn't be subject to this law. With Uber you get on the app and they contact the drivers in your local area so the nearest one can go to where you are. This is like private hire taxis in the UK where you get on the phone to ring your preferred firm, and they get on the radio to all their cars in your local area so the nearest one can go pick you up. In contrast, ride hailing is when you lift your arm up in the street or give a loud whistle and a passing taxi stops so you can get in.
This fake official is urging all those around the world to abandon Vkontakte in favor of non-Russian social media, saying that the latter offer greater freedom of speech, after Vladimir Putin's government passed laws to prevent teenagers discussing LGBT issues... Just sayin'.
This reminds me of the situation when I was a boy where the music people were playing on their MP3 players and other devices was never in the charts, only stuff you never heard except on the radio and TV because music downloads were ignored by those who made the pop charts. Even music streaming was ignored until last year. There seems to be an utter failure by incumbents to get with the times and see reality until the opportunity has completely passed them by, and then they blame everyone except the party that's actually responsible: themselves.
Re: Just so people remember what america was really built one
Actually, it was. The only difference is that the robbery wasn't committed by internal forces, but in the form of taxes to the UK government. I own that fact as an Englishman.
In January, two young men died in the Urals while taking a selfie holding a hand grenade with the pin pulled out. And if these fools had been photographed by someone else, that would have been a third person who died. So a selfie basically saved someone's life. Who knew?
