The problem is that their advertisers don't want their brands to show up on "Jim Bob's MAGA White People are the Best" Facebook page. So yes, they are fixing the problem. Were you trying to be sarcastic?
We need to get back in touch with freedom of the press and everyones right to their own soap box.
Is somebody stopping you from putting up a web site that says whatever you want it to say? Is that what's happening? Or is somebody saying that you can't say whatever YOU want on THEIR soap box?
It's not an instant gratification thing. Every time you DON'T use a credit card, you're NOT giving some money to Visa/Mastercard/Goldman Sachs, and all of those other wonderful companies, and you DO give more money to the merchant you're purchasing from. Is that so hard to understand?
We have millions of Americans who still cannot afford to go to the doctor, who cannot afford education, who cannot afford housing, and this asshat thinks we need to send people to the moon to do what, exactly?
The only product that Google continues to develop is their core product: targeted advertising and data mining.
I wonder why they're so intent on trying to create unrelated products. Why not be happy with the enormous profits from the data mining and advertising, and enjoy the profits? Pay huge dividends if they've got nothing else to invest in.
We all know how this will end. Google, Facebook et al are going to just drop all EU content and depending on how aggressive the individual laws are may even just block entire countries outright
Oh no. Some monopolies might take their toys and go home. That would be terrible.
Even if you think that Google doesn't actively read, harvest, and sell your email, why even take the chance? Awesome private, personal email is like $3/month.
If your life is so carefree that all of your email isn't worth $3/month, then congratulations to you. I have things like mortgages and bank accounts that I need to keep private, at the very least.
Hey, news flash, dumbass! Every customer paying credit gives the merchant more incentive to raise prices to include those merchant fees. Just another example of the brain-dead, selfish "I've got mine, fuck you!" American attitude that continues to grace us today.
Accepting cash is always less expensive than cards. It doesn't cost 3% to handle cash. And it doesn't require shitty, expensive hardware that has to be re-purchased with increasing regularity.
They do. Americans are so fucking stupid, it's unbelievable. They'll take a 1% discount on their cards, while paying an extra 3% to the card processors on the back end.
Hey, why not fuck over your local merchants a bit more, and use an Apple card! I bet it'll be white, and it'll charge your merchants one of the highest interchange rates on the market. Go ahead! As we say in the US, "I've got mine. Fuck you!"
Well, somebody has to try to do something. The US certainly won't. We can't just all stand around saying, "Well, somebody has to do something", with our thumbs up our butts.
This is a super smart way of starting to build out infrastructure. Geez, can we get some of this smart, forward thinking government that benefits people over here in the US, please?
Are Jared and Ivanka storing US state secrets on illegal external servers outside the control of the US intelligence agencies?
Us Intelligence agencies controls Whatsapp? I'm sure there are many people who'd like to know this little fact, including the US intelligence agencies. Have you told them, yet?

"Who decides what is allowed?"
The person who owns the computer it's on, that's who.
We could do without their money, believe me.
This just made me shoot water out my nose, I laughed so hard. Thanks for that.

I email tons of people and organizations that don't use GMail. It sounds like you probably don't need private email.
No, if you want to be an amoral dickhead, you'll have to do that without my help.
You might be right. Still, there's something to be said for doing one thing and doing it well.

That's a fucking steal. In the US, I pay 50%, and get no health care and no education.
I buy subscriptions and read actual magazines, thanks.

AC, go away. You wouldn't know science if it hit you in the face and started to wriggle.
Jared and Ivanka aren't dealing with state secrets
They're not? Then why do they have top level security clearance?
There's not an "opposition argument". It's a scientific study.
Are Jared and Ivanka storing US state secrets on illegal external servers outside the control of the US intelligence agencies?
Us Intelligence agencies controls Whatsapp? I'm sure there are many people who'd like to know this little fact, including the US intelligence agencies. Have you told them, yet?
Stop lying. Everything was investigated by a Republican Congress and it was found that she did nothing wrong.
