  • They admitted they were slowing users with ad blockers, but many Firefox users reported experiencing the slowdown regardless of whether they used an ad blocker.

    The article I linked, however, says that they couldn’t get the delay to happen at all, so it’s entirely possible it was just so poorly implemented that it was affecting people almost at random.


  • Except that they’ve already displayed that they won’t. Recently, Firefox users were targeted with an artificial delay on YouTube. When caught, they claimed it was about ad blockers… Except it didn’t affect chrome users with adblock and affected Firefox users without adblock.

    And this has happened multiple times over the years, where little headaches and inconveniences would crop up on Google services, all of which could be fixed by changing your user agent so the site thinks you’re running chrome.








  • Yeah, okay buddy. Not like there aren’t already three other comments here calling that initial comment as the bullshit that it is.

    Anyone ever told you that you have the reading comprehension of a carrot? Of course, that assumes you actually care about what you’re reading, rather than just blindly supporting totalitarianism and espousing racially-motivated attacks.

    Have they maybe said that you’re just genuinely fucking insane? I know that everyone is already telling you how racist you are, so I don’t have to ask that one.

    Oh, and btw, if you’re using easily disproven half-truths to (durr this movie even talks about Tiananmen Square!!) to try and lessen the reality of such heinous events, you can fuck yourself with broken glass, regardless of your skin color, you racist prick.

    Edit: Oh, you’re that Tankie piece of shit mod from the tech board that’s been recorded deleting everything you can that so much as implies China has ever done anything wrong! People like you don’t deserve even the smallest shadow of power, you fucking scumbag, and I hope your racist rant comes back to bite you.

    I mean, I take advantage of everything Prime offers. Movies, discounts, games, books, all of it, so I definitely get back more than the cost. I’ve also got a locker within walking distance of my house, and Walmart already did in all my local businesses, so I’m not worried about hurting their bottom line.


  • Should AI generated CSAM and CP be treated the same as a real person since it promotes the same issues?

    That’s where things get difficult. An episode of Law & Order: SVU tried to tackle this question a long time ago (but with Photoshopped fake CSAM) and the answer was a resounding “I dunno.”

    On the one hand, it’s disgusting, deplorable, etc. On the other, a fake image means no one was victimized for it.

    Does the content further radicalize these people, creating further risk of them victimizing a child, or does it sate their desires, helping to prevent them from victimizing a child? These questions are incredibly difficult to actually answer, and no answer can ever really be definitive, as you can’t really predict how any one person might react.
