This is also wrong

Silencing politicians is the same as silencing their constituents

Twitter should build its own global internet infrastructure

This really has the potential for regulatory retribution towards Twitter from governments around the world.

This seems to be only available on the home page, but thank you I didnt know this exists. Do you know what the option on the video page itself does "Not interested"?

I really wish youtube allowed me to block channels, so over time the quality of videos I do see improves.

Dealership model will end up killing all conventional car manufacturers it’s like a giant lead sinker

Warrents arent required for things people give to the police willingly.

Commerical data is definately being provided to police and other government agencies without warrants.

Did you read the article?

> Lumumba said the city would only be able to access the devices when crimes occur in those areas.

Its not a 24/7 live stream you didnt read the article

> Lumumba said the city would only be able to access the devices when crimes occur in those areas.

Until someone passes a law that permits the police to use this without permission and/or requiring people to own such devices, concern over this is hysteria.

Some police departments already support video calls, no one cared.

Not supporting communism depsite the amount of people who live under it is not hyperbole.

The irony of someone complaining about surveillance and throw aways in the same sentence.

You could make this same argument for cell phones, computers, commercial CTV, commercial data, why are we worried about this now because of some residential security cameras.

Most people dont worry about this when they visit a shopping center, its been like this for many decades.

Dont you think its is a huge leap, comparing a private company allowing citizens to share their private property (their security footage) with law enforcement to a totalitarian government?

People buy ring cameras for "law and order" related to their own properties, if anything this is the natural progression of this type of product. What is your argument to say someone who wants to opt-in to this kind of thing and why they shouldnt?

Your analogy isnt fair because we are talking about people doing things on private property, not violently assulting people.

This is my take as well, what they have written is really dishonest. You could replace ring camera with mobile phone and make their same arguments and people would look at you like you are crazy.

Where does Affirm get their under writing for its credit?

Surely funding these upgrades can be funded from the future booked revenue from the charging. I am sure the private sector would be chomping at the bit to capture a monopoly for these services as well.

Is there any research that proves that internet miss information is any worse than the typical propaganda that people have been subjected too for the majority of our recent history?

Doesn’t the power come from the street? Seems like adding metered street parking wouldn’t be a big deal and a great source of revenue for gov to replace fuel tax that is lost

I wonder what will happen to the politcal climate of China when the old guard age out.

Claims of ownership are often settled by strength and not by history. Alternatives present no real long term viability and are blind optimism.

It is hard to feel sorry for two communist countries having a border dispute.

Why do people feel so threatened by people expressing themselves without opaque moderation?

I see people constantly posting hyperbole that this is the most dangerous thing in modern times and yet can’t find any concrete examples of anything negative besides feelings.

And yet history is full of examples of dictators and oppressive regimes that suppress and control thought and communication.

Science fiction is full of mega corporations that foresee much of the same.

Is this really the society we want to live in?

For those of you who are pro CoC I would be genuinely interested in your perspective if the laws were written as vaguely and subjectively as most CoC are? It is my opinion and from what I’ve seen the majority of enforcement actions occur in the least fair way possible and have more in common with dictatorship kangaroo courts than those we are accustomed to in the western world.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
