Oh, I'm sure they wouldn't be. But make them grow up and get a clue through knowledge and education - not through silencing.
I'm sure many of the groups first removed in the 1930s were not missed by many, either. That was the whole point.
Who will be next, though? That's what you always need to consider; not what happens now, but what the next step is. As someone else listed, will the next group be anti-abortion sites? Or pro-abortion sites? Both? When will some group you sympathize with be the ones being deemed to not be missed and thus eradicated from existing online? And yes, I realize they can 'just' go somewhere else, until ALL the providers get a "Wink wink, nudge nudge" informal letter about whom we play with and whom we do not.
It feels really odd to be typing the sentence, "First they came for the Nazis, and I did not speak out because I was not a Nazi..." but there you have it.
But we don't really understand why WE developed intelligent life.
Why didn't the dinosaurs? There could have been intelligent life (in the sense of tool use, construction etc.) a quarter billion years ago, but as far as we can tell there wasn't. There was only semi-intelligent life (in the sense of mobility, family structures etc. compared to plant and microbe life, ie. animals).
Because life, at least from the baseline we have on our planet, tends to expand exponentially. It's the only way for a species to grow and safe-guard its numbers. If two parents have exactly two children, never more and never less, that's stagnation and it only takes one OOPS! before the numbers drop.
As life expands, space requirements increase. Therefore you inevitably end up having to build bigger. YOU try fitting the world's population across the globe in huts, one per person or family, and still have room and infrastructure to provide just food for everyone.
Are Apple concerned that throwing an open-source protocol into the mix makes them contractually obligated to release the source code for their entire iOS?
Are you absolutely sure you didn't watch Disney stuff? Disney is more than their animated movies today - it's Star Wars, it's Pirates of the Caribbean, it's Marvel and all their shows. The list goes on. Disney is essentially an umbrella corporation today.
There was this dungeon crawler game back in the late 90s, early 2000. Mordor II, later Demise. Its map wasn't fluid but divided into squares, 45x45 I think, and then of course a ridiculous number of levels deep.
By the time I grew bored of it, I was walking down to level 14 from the city just by remembering the number of keystrokes on the arrow keys. So yeah, it could be done - but I wouldn't really use it in any modern 3D game. Landmarks are the way to go - head under the outcrop and continue ahead to the three burned trees.
No, virtue signalling is a kindergarten-level activity of stumbling over each other to be the first to lick the boots of whoever is considered 'right and true', as evidenced by the way an internal message board had people promising never to work with him again - AKA, "I don't wanna play with you EVER AGAIN because you were a meanie to my bestiest friend's sister's boyfriend's cousin's puppy!"
All the Canadians created the Social Justice Tribunals (is that a thing? Need to look it up) in the same way all the Americans voted for Trump, all the Muslims are suicide bombers, and all the Chinese are communists. And the same way all men are rapist misogynists.

Then what?

If filming horses mating is illegal we've got a whole other set of problems to deal with ...
Who says they'd put up a way for the victims to unlock their machines?
It becomes ransomware when the distributor wants to make money. It becomes a cyberweapon when the distributor wants to take someone down hard.

A hammer and chisel, crowbar etc. will always be a vulnerability.
Remember, no lock is stronger than the door in which it sits.

Oh, the topic is quite simple.
"This MAN wrote something that my CHILD saw and my CHILD was made SAD by what this MAN said! Burn him at the stake!"
That is ... I'm sorry, but how often do men bring up the effect something had on their children's emotions?
If you're causing interference to the GPS system the black helicopters are already on their way to check out what's going on.
Not if the only ones that can ever get promoted out of entry-level positions are minorities.
I'm more concerned about downloading a 1 GB OS Update on a data plan that only has 500 MB per month.

And then goes in the opposite direction because no man tells her what to do.
Things went fine once he got into the interstate, it seems. It was navigating the city to get there that was the biggest hurdle.
Solution: Work on speed so you can get more power out of a smaller engine.
Unperson.
Holy shit that word sends a chill down my spine.

And one billion dollars revenue. What is that, like 0.01% of their expected income. Yep, they should be grovelling at their knees...
Are you saying they have a projected yearly income of 10 trillion dollars?
Maybe if they cashed in on ALL the lost sales of ALL pirated music ever.
You have just reduced any and all gambling to flipping a coin.
Poker? Nah, flip a coin. Roulette? Nope, flip that coin. Blackjack? Hell no, flipping a coin is easier than counting cards.
And not even that, because flipping a coin there's a tiny, minuscule chance it'll land on the edge.
I'm not sure what gambling ever did to you, but to the rest of the world, gambling includes known odds and risk-taking.
The source of your paycheck should always be considered a security critical application.
With the search warrant rendered null and void, how is it not considered theft of property at this point?
Because Germany, of all countries, has never seen laws change little by little from reasonable to unreasonable.
