As a New Yorker, whenever I visit Paris or other cities with metros that have upholstered seats, I always have a sense of disgust and fear I'm going to get bed bugs sitting on a seat. I don't understand why they don't have plastic seats like we do in the MTA for sanitary reasons.

Different sphere. Google doesn't own the consumer relationship or point of transaction to buy any or all goods.

Google does a lot of things worth scrutiny to break up, but it's not the same sphere.

So what makes it new? Is it just bringing in digital pure plays like Netflix and Amazon into the fold of TV industry stalwarts like NBC, Disney, and Disco/Warner? Is it new working groups that focus exclusively on digital regulation as opposed to legacy over the air and cable TV?

That's more responsible journalism with due diligence. Weird thing is both social media links are basically the same post. The X comment is just someone reposing a screenshot from the Black Vancouver instagram.

On one hand: "CBC News located some of the signs, which had been partially removed, at the Coquitlam Centre, a shopping mall in the Vancouver suburb of Coquitlam, B.C."

On the other: "As soon as it was brought to our attention, bylaw officers immediately searched the area and all bus stops, but no signs were present. Perhaps being removed by someone else," said a joint statement from the city and Mayor Brad West."

The article does have a pic of a difference poster than the black vancouver instagram though. Curious if there's CTV footage to figure out who did this if it was at a shopping mall basically.

I wish I could get there. It works 90% of the time. I can't figure out what is going on between Zigbee2MQTT and actually updating state. One every week or two I need to reboot the Raspberry Pi to resolve issues. Definitely more reliable than the cloud, but I am not sure what is going on.

looks like the instagram had screen caps: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxl2k7lsGgX/?img_index=1

looks like the telegram preview is updated with a more unabashed white supremacist forum link.

Reports that don't corroborate the social media with verification from other interviews, other social media with similar reporting, etc. are pretty bad. This thread has a pretty good break down of why it seems pretty sus that this is a legit flyer: https://lemmy.world/comment/376517

because it's from a screenshot on the link from the flyer. They are quoting that. https://t.me/s/whitetricitiesparentsandtots but now that quote has been taken down and linking to a white supremacist website unabashedly. Do you think this is still a legit flyer of someone trying to start a whites only daycare, or someone just trolling?

I'm a progressive that knows when liberal outrage media is pandering towards me. It's pretty clear this isn't pandering towards conservatives.

Also curious if there have been other sightings of this flyer, or if it was the only one? If you only post one flyer in an obscure place, it's a lot easier to be the main source of documenting a flyer was posted on social media.

There's something about it that makes me think it a "to catch a predator" type meeting to out a bunch of white supremacists. Are they really trying to fish for contact information or get them to actually meet in a room? On the telegram link: "Hello everybody, we are encouraged by the response already and hope you can hang in there until we are all comfortable going in person."

I think that's the question. If trolling, was it someone on the right trying to spout some vitriol to make people of color of leftists uncomfortable? Or was it someone on the left trying to stir up outrage among like minded people.

What does that even mean. I'm not sure why recognizing local news click bait meant to trigger my liberal sensibilities outs me as a conservative somehow. This headline and post isn't meant to trigger conservative outrage, it's liberal outrage. (Also the OP tagline says the news is about sparking outrage.)

Did you read the "article"? There was no research or investigation. It was literally describing a social media post with no investigation to corroborate anything. This is the news community. There should be quality standards for news posts. This is a pretty clear low effort "article" to capitalize a upward trending controversial social media post to grab clicks and ad views.

Where's the evidence this group really exists? This article is basically fluff around a social media post with little investigation

Daily Hive has reached out to Coquitlam RCMP and the City for comment.

So the journalist reached out to the city, but not the telegram account for comment?

We can hate racism and still call bullshit on liberal upvote and outrage pandering.

It was always a vacuous ambiguous way to say someone was liberally enlightened without having to justify the claim with anything specific. That is true for both the positive and pejorative use of woke. I enjoy the song "Wide Awake" by Parquet Courts that made fun of the term in it's original use.

I'm guessing the challenge is advertisers. Advertisers buy ad space next to or in video content. No advertiser wants to buy ad space that is adjacent to or makes it look like they are supporting someone under public scrutiny for sexual assault allegations. So as Google, where you need to sell good ad space to paying advertisers, bother with running ads next to Russel Brand or just say no and make that clear to advertisers to build confidence?
