So that you can leave ads running on your computer while you go do other stuff? Doesn't seem like a good deal for Google.

I have pixel and it does that.

A lot of sites have weight. Twitter sheds users every day but the large user count makes it attractive to public figures and if you want to follow that public figure you need to have twitter.

If it's a private company that con do what it wants, like blocking political opponents, it should not be under safe harbor protections.

That's the point in yelling about this. If Elon wants a private forum for him and his mates, he should also be fully responsible when his mates posts child porn on his servers.

the tank shell probably wouldn't notice the buss but I would notice the shell when it goes trough me and 3 other passengers.

There must be some kind of rule violation here right? There are tons of rules about only pointing your gun at people you are prepared to kill and acting as if guns are loaded at all times. Swinging a tank turret across the broad side of a civilian buss feels way worse.

I don't know if this is the same but Sweden have a thing where you pay into a fund that helps victims of crimes.

If they did the work required to lift the poor regions out of poverty, and sometimes just straight up feudalism, the country would become a proper superpower with far reaching cultural impact but right now India seem to slide further into Hindu nationalism so now it's more of a worry for everyone else if India became another dictatorship like china.

It feels like one of those where the people that have expertise enough to name new things are not experts in naming things.
