TL;DR Google is trying to fully understand the topic in order to make better decision. Brietbart tried to shut down the conversation and censor all discussion by screaming "censorship!!".
Again, maybe it's a group of people tired of comic book movies trying to make their voice heard.
Possible, but then why complain that the character is female, or even more hilariously go to great lengths to point out how they definitely don't care about the character being female and are in no way a misogynist but just hate it for purely unrelated reasons?
The fact that there was a sudden surge of extremely similar comments right after posts on 4chan and Reddit instructing people to go post negative comments is a bit of a give-away.
You seriously don't understand what Sargon said was racist?
He told some white people stop acting like black people. He then went on to explain why the kind of bad behaviour they were exhibiting was the kind of thing that black people would do. Except he didn't say black people.
If you can't see that UKIP are on the far right then I can't really help you. Just having a few socialist policies that you know you will never actually have to deliver on doesn't make you left of centre, when the rest of your manifesto is hard right.
Look at it another way, why does UKIP attract so many neo-Nazis and other extremists?
Robinson used to run the far right EDL, and is now working for UKIP.
He hangs around with lots of other far right figures, is praised by them, and is supported by them. His strong anti-Islam stance is also associated with the far right.
One of the challenges Nike faces is that older people keep buying them. They could end up like denim jeans, associated with middle aged men. That's why the current fashion is skinny jeans, that older guys don't buy.
That's a different problem, to do with their broken copyright strike system and failure to properly investigate complaints. Classic example is trans women getting strikes for videos of them topless made back when they were male.
Just to be clear, the "perpetually offended" here are Patron, Visa and MasterCard being fine with a decade of his shit including harassing people, but who drew the line at using the N word repeatedly in an unironic way that clearly implied black people were inferior.
This kind of outrage will help the movie, not hurt it.
Look at Nike. Did the ad with Colin Kaepernick, outrage, videos of people burning their trainers... And Nike's value increased by six billion dollars. The best part is that most people who boycott brands end up buying them again anyway.
What would have been a 24 hour news event at best turned into a days, even weeks long saga due to the outrage and the counter-outrage.
Now everyone is getting in on this new form of viral marketing, e.g. Gillette with their recent toxic masculinity ad. Marvel presumably didn't even plan this, and are now enjoying masses of free publicity and interest generated by the people who think they are sinking the movie.
Indeed, but that's a distraction from the issue here. Sites like RT that allow user ratings are easily gamed and apparently there is nothing we can do about it. No-one has managed to filter this kind of thing, the best tools we have are manual intervention or disabling user ratings.
Ironically it almost always backfires. Brands caught on to that when Nike's commercial resulted in immolated trainers but added billions to the company's share price. The backlash to the backlash tends to result in a big net positive.
I'm sure Captain Marvel will do well at the box office, especially now it's generated this type of controversy.
That's not how FIDO works. It uses public key crypto, so you secret never leaves the phone. In contrast with a password the secret (i.e. the password) has to be both transmitted to the server and stored in some fashion (hopefully one-way hashed with salt).
Of course Chrome also supports auto-fill for passwords, which you can use if for some reason you don't understand what FIDO is.
Most of the problems with people being harassed by criticism are to do with monetization, which is not a free speech issue. They aren't being silenced, they are just not being paid to speak.
I can't see any way to force people to pay for stuff they don't want, that isn't ridiculously evil. Do we really want a Sargon tax?
Wrong. The browser does require you to explicitly consent to seamless login credentials. There is an on-screen prompt every time, unless you explicitly tick the "don't ask again for this site" box.
This is a big win for most people. It can be used in addition to a username and password, or with just a username, if desired.

Come on, no one else is falling for it.

Middle age starts at around 50. Maybe the early gen Xers.

That's textbook dude. That's 1930s cartoon racism.

If he was correct you would think that there would be a better source for basically the same thing.
To be honest anyone who rants about "leftists" is probably a crank.
That's your theory, but do you have actual examples of it happening so we can observe the results? Or is it purely hypothetical?
You said it was already the case, right?

The left protests against him regularly.
Did you even read his wiki entry?

Nike is a major global brand.
Do you have an example of corporate censorship through demonetization is equivalent to government censorship?
Are you saying that Patreon and payment processors should be forced to provide services to him? It's not like being a racist is a protected class.

Just to give some context.
You think Nike are a niche brand?
Did you just unironically quote the Unabomber in an attempt to make a credible point?
The physical limitation is that it's not loud enough in this phone.

Did you request a refund? Anyone who had a lifetime account can request a refund now they have moved to subscription.
It /could/ be used as a speaker eventually, but in this specific product LG has limited it to phone calls and designed it solely for bone conduction.

Here's the standard, as you can see it requires user interaction before authentication can take place:
