this is what i did! it cost me less than 100 bucks in supplies and just under 2k in various gold (14k-18k) i bought on ebay. i mixed in enough 24k to bring it up to 42 grams of 18k. i cast two sets of rings (11g + 2g) and had some leftover gold to recast into grains to share with our parents and future children.
So who decides what is true/accurate? Is this action just related to the current election or will this extend to other "fake news" and elections in other countries? Covid news comes to mind.
The courts do? And so far they haven't produced any evidence and they get flung out of every court.
On COVID, every country on the planet agrees. The scientists have spoken. The guy who thinks the royal family are lizards should not be considered even remotely reliable.
Yep, just look at the recent series "Ourcry" about a kid who served 6 years and was then exonerated for wrongful conviction.
Or look at the Buck decision, a SCOTUS case that lead to forced sterilization.
Or look at the SCOTUS decision that led to Japanese internment camps.
Oh and both of those decisions .. based on Jacobson. Contrary to what the media tells you, in Jacobson, they never forced him to take the vaccination, only pay the $5 fine. But that decision led to Buck and Manzanar.
It has basically already been to court several times and been flung out repeatedly. With lawyers stating they have nothing to present. There is a certain point where we need to own up and remember saying Biden rigged the election is slander and YouTube is well within it's right not to host it.
You're looking at this through a lens of "fairness". It doesn't have to be fair. Google doesn't have to decide to either let no lies through, or let all lies through.
It's their platform, their property, they are allowed to do with it as they will. Just like a newspaper doesn't have to print every letter sent in by a reader, or every ad someone wants printed. (This later example is something I have experience with: I was the editor of a college newspaper targeted by a white-supremacist holocaust-denying group that wanted me to print their anti-Semitic ads. I didn't print them)
No one is entitled to the amplification of their views that these platforms make possible. They may be platforms that are publicly accessible, but they are privately owned & operated, and I think it would be a serious blow to the concept of private property to essentially impose forced speech on them.
There are plenty of other platforms that will let someone run anything they want through them. Sure, they're not as big and don't have the audience that Google does, but again: no one is entitled to that Freedom of speech doesn't require anyone to force others to repeat that speech.
No, you're allowed to talk about whatever but people think YouTube has a responsibility to stop the spread of things that have been shown to be false and of which there is zero evidence dispite lots of searching for evidence.
Remember the controversy around "YouTube Heroes"? The arbiters of truth are going to be volunteers and activists. And, the process is going to be completely opaque with no appeals process. I guarantee it.
I doubt that it would help; I don’t think failing in court will be YouTube’s standard. As so many comments remind us, they’re a private company. They don’t have to wait for a court’s opinion.
I also think no left-of-center conspiracy theory would be thrown off YouTube, even if it failed in court.
Maybe this is great, I don’t make any value judgment. It’s just a bet. Take my money if I’m wrong.
Youtube does. They pay for the servers, and thus any sensible person who believes in capitalism and freedom of speech would support that they get to decide what content goes on their servers.
reviewing profiles one a time allowed them to jam more ads down your throat. it ruined the experience and made it way more time consuming to use their app
The prep juice tastes so nasty but you are right about feeling refreshed. After the colonoscopy I had intense cravings for a cheeseburger and milkshake, but let me tell you that was a mistake! It gave me the worst acid reflux. Keep in mind your insides are virgin again after the prep juice. It causes you to shed the lining of your stomach, I'll be smarter next time.
Even if zero hedge has an extreme right bias, does that mean everything they report is fake news? Was seth rich really shot twice in the back and not robbed despite the official story saying he's a robbery victim? He certainly had access to the DNC emails and was a devote bernie sanders supporter. It's a low barrier to connect those dots and it becomes even more suspicious when left wing media and "fact checking" websites jump to calling it a conspiracy theory. It seems a lot more likely than the russian story which is falling apart every day with official memos saying hillary pushed the russian narrative to distract from her email server. I'd love to believe we live in a fair and just society, but maybe we dont.
