No, they couldn't have silently hidden everything. There are archival links that people could (and did, IIRC) post.


I am not aware of anything resembling 'archival links' other than screenshots of only the most recent posts, and verbal reports from others as to past posts.

One single page of vileness. No 'likes' to his posts, so not very popular. Notable is the anti-Trump sentiment. Not enough to confirm that this profile actually belonged to Robert Brower since names and profile pictures can be misappropriated.

Meanwhile, Gab was able to provide a complete profile of this individual and confirmation of his identity to the authorities.

This repeatedly has been presented as an achievement. How on earth isn't that the absolute absolute basic thing? That ANY service is going to do?


Not just any service. For instance, Apple refused to assist the FBI in unlocking the iPhone belonging to one of the late prime suspects in the San Bernadino massacre. Wikileaks is refusing to co-operate with the CIA. Microsoft is resisting the FBIs demand to conduct so-called 'sneak and peek' searches on emails held on foreign servers.

Bowers also had profiles on Twitter and facebook which were probably just as nasty, but we are not hearing any calls to shut those services down.

Oh, for crying out loud. These are absolutely apples and oranges. Apple refusing to unlock - wasn't about disclosing readily available data; in this case we're talking about public and payments data. Microsoft v US has been mooted by a change of the relevant laws. Wikileaks, wait, what?

Yes. Their monitoring isn't great, but they do some. Not comparable.


You said:

>That ANY service is going to [provide the data on a suspect to law enforcement]?

Are the aforementioned not services?

>Apple refusing to unlock - wasn't about disclosing readily available data;

They refused to provide information required by the FBI to investigate an extremist attack. And there was data that was not readily available to the public in the Bowers' profile.

> Microsoft v US has been mooted by a change of the relevant laws

So what? It was still data that law enforcement wished to acquire in order to investigate criminal activity, in this case organized crime.

>Wikileaks, wait, what?

I am sure the authorities are very interested in who was responsible for leaking classified information. Something Wikileaks refuses to provide.

>Yes. Their monitoring isn't great, but they do some. Not comparable.

'Not comparable'? Louis Farrakhan's anti-Semitic rants are directly 'comparable' for one, and he is not alone. Twitter's 'monitors' appear to be more concerned with influencing elections than removing extremist content.

Also, try searching Youtube for 'six gorillion' or 'six million lies'. Reporting the content that is revealed appears to be completely ineffective. Again, such 'censorship' as is done is largely concerned with influencing elections.

Thank you! We will correct it.

It's responsive on my end, I think they changed it this year.


I recently read Wittgenstein's quote; "The limits of my language are the limits of my mind.". I keep coming back to it.


What are the limitations of the free version?


All the functions are presented in the free version. It only limits the number of active tabs/connections at a time (3 right now), and you can not change themes.


How do you see the chances of someone without a degree getting an entry-level, low-paid, remote job in this space? What would be things that could help out? Certifications? Nano-degrees like Udacitys? A portfolio of public work?


It's highly unlikely. There is a lot of competition for entry-level jobs and not many remote positions available. The barriers to entry are exactly academic qualifications over certifications and portfolios.


Remote job? Probably not without experience and/or connections.

Portfolio is going to be the most helpful, followed by certifications and nano degrees.


"Radio personnel were still free to make their own programming decisions, and the list was merely intended as helpful advisory information."

How does that make a "ban" partially true?
