So….basically what Twitter is. This microblog is more like Tumblr than Twitter, IMO.

Facebook actively circumvents users’ “do not track” opt out by encrypting Facebook’s URLs
Dayyyummm, why’s Facebook gotta be so creepy?

Is this why people don’t take rape seriously anymore?
Also, I know this was about 5 years ago, but I was really hoping someone heard her and called the police. So when they show up and start questioning, the guy could show the video he took and they arrest this bitch instead. ?

SFPD put rape victims’ DNA into database used to find criminals, DA alleges
From the comments:
And this is why people (me at least) don’t want all encompassing data collection.
If the police have the data, absent some law protecting it (sometimes even if it does!) they WILL use it.
Hell, someone was probably just trying to make their job easier. “Well we got some DNA evidence from the crime scene. What DNA databases do we have other than criminals? Let’s run it through those, maybe we will get a hit.”
Doesn’t make it ethical or okay.

Spotify removes 70 Joe Rogan episodes as he faces heat over use of n-word
A couple things:
- They only removed these particular episodes, but he’s still on Spotify.
- While I definitely agree using the n-word is a major offense (at least if you’re not black), he has been broadcasting misinformation that’s getting hundreds of people killed and THIS is what makes Spotify remove a bunch of his episodes?

Spotify publicly posts content policy as Rogan responds
Spotify does not allow hatred and incitement of violence, deception, graphic depictions of violence, sexually explicit material, and illegal content. The streaming service also says it forbids “content that promotes dangerous false or dangerous deceptive medical information that may cause offline harm or poses a direct threat to public health.”
[…]
“What happens to rule breakers?” the policy says. “We take these decisions seriously and keep context in mind when making them. Breaking the rules may result in the violative content being removed from Spotify. Repeated or egregious violations may result in accounts being suspended and/or terminated.” In other words, Spotify may choose to ignore its own policies at its discretion.
Uh huh. ?
Well…when I cancelled Premium, I put “Extremely Unlikely” under “how likely are you to sign up again for Spotify Premium?” (paraphrasing–on their post-cancellation survey). At first, I thought “damn, that’s kinda nuclear. What if they realize they screwed up, apologize and remove Rogan and all is forgiven?” But it seems very unlikely this will actually happen, so not regretting my decision one bit.
Finally, toward the end, with a grin on his face, [Rogan] offered some words to those he later called “the haters,” saying, “If I pissed you off, I’m sorry.”
No you’re not. ?
