If you try to put the following words as your employer or mention them in your bio AirBNB won't allow it: Google, Twitter, Facebook (there are others including competitors like VRBO).
It's not a well constructed filter, adding unicode zero width spaces between the letters fools it.
The whole state seems to run on the golden rule (have gold make the rules). This one sounds like there should be an FBI investigation into the judge and his relationships with certain litigants.
My opinion: it may or may not be actually corrupt behavior in the sense of $$ changing hands but it sure looks that way from the outside.
The image is not false, it's manipulated. The issue here is that the "false" fact checking label is appropriate for fact checks on text eg "Trump won the election" but not for images. If they had labeled it "This image is not a real photograph" then the problem around implying the the text on the mage is false would not apply.
Can't stay to chat longer, I have to go and photoshop political some comments onto shark images ...
From the San Francisco police union saying they won't police city transit because the MTA won't transport them any more.
Hey Muni, lose our number next time you need officers for fare evasion enforcement or removing problem passengers from your buses and trains. Shouldn't be a @SFPD officer's job anyway. @SFPDChief should stop using us for this.
"No company shall remit funds to or accept commissions from an individual or business providing short term rental accommodation unless the recipient has previously provided evidence to the company that they posses the requisite zoning and licensing approvals to rent the property" (or something like that)
No speech issue, no CDN issue. It would still allow flat rate ads (no commission or collecting funds) but it would shut the door on airbnb and vrbo. Or did I miss something.
This is the same agency that routinely ignores double parking by churches with no statutory basis for doing so but aggressively tickets people who part in front of other non-profits like goodwill. The 1st amendment is not something they are familiar with so it comes as no surprise that they don't seem to grasp due process or the idea that you might want representation.
In any future case where software is in question any good defense attorney should be citing VW as an example of why software can't be trusted and companies can't be trusted to certify their own software.
Clickbait much? Somebody asked a media flack if the something was infringing, he said he'd have to ask the legal team to see what action they could take. That's not a threat that's an admission that he didn't know.
Pretty much every news outlet has spun this into "threat" when it's really not. Following private email exchanges I've had with one of the event founders I can confirm that their are well aware of the limits of copyright ant trademark and also the Streisand effect. I'd be very surprised if they take any legal action.
It's brilliant don't you see - the government forces ISP's to block all porn. Then some kind soul comes up with a free work-around that happens to proxy all your traffic. Could that kind soul perhaps maintain a large data center in Cheltenham? or maybe they got their cousins in Maryland to help out ...
When a company files, presumably swearing it's accurate, something that is blatantly and demonstrably untrue when does that rise to the level where there are actual penalties?
It would seem to me that with a good lawyer he stands to make BEA pay our a fairly large settlement for their behavior on this. Or am I missing something?
News is an information product, for a paywall to work the customer has to perceive that this information source has more value that the free source one click over. The Sun was never known for being a high value information source.
The UK market is particularly interesting because there are multiple, national, daily papers each carrying the same news withe a different editorial slant. (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGscoaUWW2M for an explanation). What's been interesting is the Daily Mail and the Guardian, have embraced the web and seem to be riding the wave and the rest still seem to be struggling with how to adapt.
AirBNB also has silly filters

Texes seem to be in a news a lot for behavior that looks corrupt
The whole state seems to run on the golden rule (have gold make the rules). This one sounds like there should be an FBI investigation into the judge and his relationships with certain litigants.

Scunthorp problem?
I wonder if "thISISgeorgenotfound" is triggering a particularly bad filter that is assuming he's a terrorist?
It's the label that's wrong
The image is not false, it's manipulated. The issue here is that the "false" fact checking label is appropriate for fact checks on text eg "Trump won the election" but not for images. If they had labeled it "This image is not a real photograph" then the problem around implying the the text on the mage is false would not apply.

And then there is this

In other words they are saying that neither the chief nor elected officials are in charge of SFPD any more.
This law could be written without mentioning the internet or content
No speech issue, no CDN issue. It would still allow flat rate ads (no commission or collecting funds) but it would shut the door on airbnb and vrbo. Or did I miss something.
public domain
SFMTA has a long history of not caring about the public.
Exhibit 1 VW
Chill out people, nobody threatened anybody

Disclosure: I used to work for Burning Man.
Private Eye had the right answer to this sort of thing
Re: Re: Re: Order
You'd think the NSA would know this.
Charge then Donate
In fact I think that's going to be my new company policy (not that we actually get requests)
Now we see the whole plan it's brilliant ...
At what point do blatantly incorrect filings become perjury?

Incompatible
I bet Texas would still execute him.
Self preservation
The probability of a "helpful" civilian being shot or hit with a taser or pepper spray by the backup officers when they arrive is just too high.
The best ad for content is the content
