Facebook bans QAnon representing accounts across all platforms
goretsky and 11 others reacted to wakjak for a topic
So selective banning of people you disagree with is fine? Banning someone who just has a legitimately different opinion, based on the same set of facts, is not what we are talking about here. They are banning Putin's active disinformation agents, the Qanon conspiracy scammers, and the ignorant, gullible, cowardly fools who are falling for (and spreading) their lies on a daily basis -- simply because it takes more work to learn the truth based on facts as supported by evidence. Banning lies told by liars to fools is fair game on a platform they own, mate. Even if everything you said is true, why should Facebook or any other company have the power to determine what the "ignorant" masses can and cannot hear? Are they not smart enough to figure out on their own what's information and what's misinformation? Just because it's a silly group propagating conspiracies doesn't make Facebook's actions any more right. Because Facebook is a private company and they can do whatever they like with regards to banning.12 points -

Just because it's a silly group propagating conspiracies doesn't make Facebook's actions any more right. People are clearly not smart enough to figure things out on their own, using this particular theory’s rate of propagation as clear evidence of this. The distorted realities such “ideas” conjure are harmful to society as a whole. Democratic processes become subverted and ineffective, in part due to an increasingly uninformed and corrupted electorate. People have also been murdered, harassed and taken from their own purposeful lives, instead of otherwise being productive members of society collectively working towards a higher form of society, all because some idiot on 4chan was bored. Misinformation is serious business. It has led to the unnecessary economic and political catastrophe that is Brexit in the U.K., the rise of popularism to devastating and tragic results in the US, oh, and the rise of Hitler and the resulting second World War. This is not an exhaustive list. The world is not flat, Chrissy Teigen doesn’t eat children, and corrupt administrations are not saviours of anything but themselves. To suggest otherwise is not just another opinion of equal merit, it’s the fuel that ends us all. There is a reason why we don’t teach kids 2+2=5.7 points -

If you don't agree with the bans, OK, but FB can ban them if they want to. It's as simple as that. But that's just it, it's not that simple. If you listen to the legal arguments that some make, Facebook, Youtube, etc. are public forums, so they can't censor like this. The protection they have of being a public forum is you can't sue them for some stupid junk posted on their site. However, the tech companies pick and choose what they want to censor and what not, it's this very behavior that gets them summoned before Congress, over their perceived bias in censorship. The problem is all of the tech companies are trying to have it both ways. They want to censor what they don't like and say it's our platform, but then if someone tries to sue them they'll turn around and say we're a public forum so we can't be sued. It's not so simple because websites/social networks and their forums aren't labeled as being a public forum or publisher, it's a gray zone. The law, for now, doesn't give you, or anyone the right to be on someone else's website. You're agreeing to follow the rules they have set, and they can ban you for a good reason or no reason at all. We ban people on neowin all the time, mostly for posting spam, do you consider Neowin different from Facebook or Twitter in some way? Because at the heart of it, it's not any different at all. The fact of the matter is that, as of now, you have no legal right to be on here, you're not protected by free speech either, not by a long shot. That's the cut and dry of it.3 points -

Global Privacy Control is a new initiative to help people enforce their rights
Xenon and one other reacted to Mobius Enigma for a topic
This helps, but without more comprehensive laws, a huge chunk of user data is not included. It is like with Google, they show users the data they have on them, and allow them to delete and manage that data. HOWEVER, that is the data the user directly authorized Google to obtain and use. Google keeps private user data file on everyone, that is considered 'anonymized' - even though Google tags these records to users, and even in cases when it doesn't contain information like the user name (collected from Google searches and Ads for example) - a simple lookup with Google data or public records can identify the person the data belongs. Like anonymous location data, there are only a few people that live in your house and go to your work. Google does not allow users to access or manage this data, and they also don't delete it no matter what the user does.2 points -

Because they're too stupid to think for themselves, are spoon-fed nonsense from other idiots, spreading misinformation like wildfire. Facebook has gained a reputation of being a mass disinformation provider. They're probably trying to clean up their image... and as a private entity, they're more than in their rights to do so. It's amazing that within 10 years, the network went from a hip, leftist college orientated network designed to keep in touch with high school/current college friends and manage college social events, to where we are now, infested with 50-65 year olds spewing falsehoods and attacks left and right. And before you go and spout about them picking only on conservatives, they've moderated plenty of liberal materials too.2 points -

For example, agreeing with strict measures in one country, while allowing to be lax in other. The management of coronavirus was a mess, and WHO was created mainly to avoid that. Casebook deflection. Nobody is talking about WHO. We’re talking about Trumps outright dangerous tweets about COVID.2 points -

Time for a new router - wireless device migration
Brandon H and one other reacted to +Biscuits Brown for a topic
My process has been I plug a laptop into the new router, completely set it up and set the SSID to the same as the old. I then shut the old one off, pull the WAN connection and reconnect to the new device (if you have any other hard wired devices, you need to move them over of course). I do a restart on the device and that's it. I always do these things on a Saturday morning (usually about 05:30) before anyone is awake so the minimal downtime has no impact. Assuming you don't change the wifi password, the downtime is usually limited to the amount of time it takes to reboot the device. Note, I'd never do this wirelessly. I always do configuration hardwired.2 points -

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered announced, landing November 6
+InsaneNutter and one other reacted to ThaCrip for a topic
I completely agree as Most Wanted was clearly the all around peak of that series. for a non-sim racing game, that was pretty much the peak of racing games for me, especially over the last 10-20 years or or so. +1 the franchise absolutely peaked in 2005 with Most Wanted, I did quite enjoy Undercover in 2008, however Most Wanted (2005) is still by far my favourite in the series. I've long since got bored of EA milking the franchise year after year, I think the 5 games I truly enjoyed and put a lot of time in to are: Hot Pursuit 2 Underground Most Wanted Carbon Undercover I did play some of the earlier games on the PC, however I was more as fan of Screamer for an arcade racer at the time. Yeah, I seem to be similar as I clearly remember Most Wanted being the peak but I did play a fair amount of others around that general time frame as the ones you listed look familiar but never quite recaptured the heights of Most Wanted. I have not bothered with any of those NFS games for a while now. but I might still load up Most Wanted once in a while to play through it again as while I generally favor PC games (especially on shooter games, but racing games I have probably played more on a console), I originally played NFS: Most Wanted (2005) on original XBox (then I think I played it on XBox360 at some point to etc). I was playing it a little on Gamecube version through Wii a while ago but ill have to get back into it at some point to finish it etc.2 points -

I see that you don't keep up with the news: https://www.foxnews.com/politi...nnan-notes-cia-memo-clinton Fox news is not a legitimate news organisation, but simply a right wing propaganda machine. The individuals who own and fund it highlight this. All news organisations have general bias’s but Fox news is not in that category, it is just spin. Try and find an actual verified fact in that article that backs up your claim. Regarding your specific point. Nothing in the documents you mention suggests Clinton orchestrated anything or that Russian interference was a hoax. They were excerpts from the CIA directors notes reporting on a “claim” to President Obama (anyone can claim anything) that Clinton’s campaign sort to highlight the Trump campaigns ties to Russia. The word “orchestrated” just doesn’t fit into this scenario. (Claiming their has been a crime, which was proven true, is orchestrating nothing, accept perhaps the reveal of the truth). The documents are heavily redacted though making context impossible. But also, reporting on a claim is not the same as providing proof. Besides that, the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia have been evidenced time and time again, hence why during the 2016 election campaign the FBI were investigating Trump and his staff. Why is Clinton wanting to point that out to the electorate a bad thing? At worst it is self serving, and at best it is a patriotic duty. It can’t be a hoax when it has been proven real. Therefore you can’t say Clinton orchestrated a lie, because we know the alleged lie to be true. Besides, the fact that Trump himself cherry picked what notes to declassify highlights this is another baseless political hit job, designed to distract people from his horrific handling of the pandemic, and his own corrupt behaviour. You see, despite AG Barr’s complete misrepresentation of the Mueller report findings upon its release, there is a significant and substantial amount of verified proof by the FBI (if you actually read it, as opposed to Fox News’s spin on it) that the Trump campaign colluded with Russian operatives to get elected and Trump most certainly obstructed justice. This was further verified recently by Andrew Weismann (former General Council to the FBI). Read his book. You just have to look at the number of Trump campaign staff who were charged and sent to jail for their actions. Those were judges and juries that prosecuted theses men. Their credibility out ways right wing media who obviously have an agenda. Their prosecution is not a hoax. The problem has always been, the FBI were not able to properly investigate Trump, unable to dig into his finances, because if they did he would just fire whoever was in charge, making the whole thing pointless. Hence why Trump fired James Comey, because Comey refused to compromise the independence of the FBI. That makes investigating a sitting President almost impossible. Anyone who falls for these nonsense Clinton conspiracy theories and half truths are selling their own country down the river to Russia. That’s treasonous by definition. You’re only hope might be to claim mental incapacity. Seriously, when you say stuff like you just have, you’re doing Putin’s work for him. Wake up friend.1 point -

GeForce RTX 3080 and 3090 cards to face supply shortages till end of 2020, says Nvidia CEO
Nerd Rage reacted to Paul1979UK for a topic
Pretty much and it wasn't needed, Nvidia could have waited till AMD released their cards but I get the impression that Nvidia released early to capitalize on early reviews, they seem worried with what AMD have and the price point of the next gen consoles going on this paper launch, TDP, beefy fan and all that. Honestly, I'm not impressed at all with the 30 series of cards and it feels like Fermi 2.0, I mean, performance is about 30% higher but it's also using around 30% more juice, that doesn't look good considering the node shrink and new architecture, in fact it looks like poor progress over the 20 series and could be a massive opening for AMD to take advantage off.1 point -
China: U.S. ban on TikTok, WeChat is in violation of WTO rules
matthiew reacted to dead.cell for a topic
This. The conversation about China should've began and ended when they started openly detaining people of the wrong color and belief system into labor/detention camps. I don't believe the World Trade Organization should consist of slave labor, which is why all these big name companies should be using their weight to at least make a statement about what they will or will not support. Apple has begun moving manufacturing to China, albeit through the Chinese conduit of Foxconn, but it will take more companies to say enough is enough to make this apparent. Trump's ban on these apps is miniscule to what the real power of these corporations could be doing. Appeasing the red giant by censorship and all the other ways they continue to support them is NOT a good look.1 point
