Conservatives Bombarded With Facebook Misinformation Far More Than Liberals In 2020 Election, Study Suggests

  • "Misinformation."

    No, call it what it is: propaganda.

    • What can we do to keep the web open?

    Jump

  • And an alternate email service like ProtonMail.

    They also have ProtonDrive as an alternative to Google Drive. Apple's iCloud is also end-to-end encrypted now. pCloud is another popular option. There are a number of choices for secure cloud storage these days.

    Web search is a bit more difficult. DuckDuckGo is heavily integrated with Bing. Brave Search is hit-or-miss. Yahoo is just a front-end for Bing.

    If you need live document collaboration, you're probably already in a setting where either Sharepoint or GSuite are mandated. If you're not, BitAI may be worth looking into.

    • Amazon faces potential break-up as FTC finalizes antitrust lawsuit | The FTC is getting ready for the big one

  • More than half of Amazon's sales come from third-party merchants who this year started paying an average of over 50% commission on every sale, up from 35.2% in 2016, the result of it raising Fulfillment by Amazon fees every year and increasing storage fees.

    While paying for Amazon's logistics and advertising services is optional, most merchants consider these, especially advertising, a necessary part of doing business. Moreover, the FTC has reportedly amassed evidence that Amazon disadvantages merchants who don't use the services by giving them lower placements.

    Capitalism at its finest... I still remember when Amazon was just a humble online bookstore. How times have changed.

    • Elon Musk and company take @x handle from its original user. He got zero dollars for it.

  • I've had the impression for a while that Twitter upper management wanted monthly active users on the level of Facebook, Tiktok and other social media. To enrich themselves by way of ad revenue, rather than to create opportunities and experiences for the platform and its users. Then when it became apparent that such a potential opportunity had come and gone (if it was ever there in the first place), they did what was in their minds the next-best thing: They cashed out while they could still find a buyer. Elon's idiotically freewheeling but nevertheless binding offer was basically their winning lottery ticket, so they held his feet to the fire instead of treating it like the thoughtless shitpost it was.

    • Kevin Spacey found not guilty in sex offences trial - BBC News

    Jump

  • While I agree there should be severe and swift punishment for sexual offences, there should be some punishment for false accusations. I know that sometimes is just not prooved and sometimes it is in legally gray area, so not automatic, but if it can be prooven that someone was intentional lying - then there should be consequences.

    But we actually have pretty clearly defined legal systems for slander, libel and defamation?
