I've seen a lot less engagement with my Facebook posts in the last couple years, and been shown a lot fewer posts from my friends compared to groups, ads, and "suggested" posts. I used to wonder if it was primarily because Fa

I wasn't trying to be cute or anything -- I wasn't sure whether incitement legally has to be a direct suggestion like "You should call in a bomb threat against this library", or whether something like "This library

I figured the difference is that the KKK rally was "just" a rally with no other immediate actions associated to it, while in this case, there is a pattern of callout videos or tweets that immediately inspire someone to call in a

That's my core question, and I am honestly curious about it: Aside from whether someone is intending to incite action (although I think a lot of these accounts are), at what point are they obligated to limit their free speech because

It's easy to say that someone should "go where you're treated best", but I have done that, and besides the cost and logistics, I still grieve that I don't feel safe in the city where I grew up, where friends and fam

I think that J.K. Rowling's public statements show that at the very least, she has a strawman conception of what most trans people are like and what our motives are, that a much greater proportion of us are dangerous predators than act

I find that the people who want to restrict one usually want to restrict the other, and more or less conflate them. Regardless, the articles I referenced above, and the campaigns and polling they discuss, cover the gamut from drag to books

Hi, trans person here. My main concerns in life are having a job, a home, health, family, and friends. When I go out in public, I have the same hopes and fears as anyone else I know, except I also worry about being accosted on the street or

Actually, the anti-trans candidates have lost most of the recent elections where they made trans rights the main focus, and most people polled either do not care or object to restricting those rights. 1. https://www.ettingermentu

At what point do outlets like Libs of TikTok become guilty of incitement? There's a documented history of that and other outlets turning the spotlight on a person, school, or hospital, consistently followed shortly after by bomb threat

I agree with you. If you have some time, consider writing a comment to your national or state/provincial consumer protection regulator. In the US, you can file an antitrust complaint with the FTC here: https://www.ftc.gov&#x

Basically, this is because web authentication has been very weak for far too long, and it's gotten to the point where attackers literally operate as a business, with human resource departments, call centers, and all. Unfortunately, the

If you're looking for a typewriter with a light touch, the Olivetti Lettera 32 and Underwood Universal are some of my favorites. I love my Remingtons, but all of mine (all of which are 1940s models) are pretty heavy.

This sounds like it would require a lot more people to perform moderation -- an emotionally taxing and thankless task -- to come up with a community that everyone enjoys their own facet of. I also think it will lead to the Nazi bar problem:
