“[I]t is impossible or impracticable for an Internet service provider offering [broadband] to distinguish traffic that moves only within California from traffic that crosses state borders”, the lobby groups' complaint said.

Your employers’ incompetence isn’t a valid defense.

remember how Facebook was going to put more effort into blocking and regulating political ads because of concern about RUSSIA? it's going great so far




the root of the problem seems to be that Facebook are flagging any ad which mentions minorities or LGBT in any way as a "civil rights" ad. and they categorize "civil rights" as a political issue, which means that the ads are subject to extra rules and special registration requirements

this means that you can't even run an ad about Taco Tuesday without sending Facebook a photo of your driver's license. not like Facebook has recently had a high-profile leak of user information due to hacker activity, or anything!

Every social media platform is doomed because the metrics they use to sell ad space about user engagement and session time is skewed by the impossibly online old people who have graduated from email forwards to q memes. It's suicide to alienate them because they'll click any loving ad you put in front of them and you need those numbers to maintain profitability in our bullshit nightmare world where every large company is an advertiser.

i wonder how much of google and facebook and twitter's ad revenue comes from the 18,000 spyware toolbars that every old person has installed on their windows xp internet explorer

It will get replaced with something much worse like that tv you have to yell "I love McDonalds!" at to turn it on. They'll give it some cute name too like "funvertisments". Most people will shrug their shoulders and go along with it.

I think he's alluding to a part of the newest Adam Curtis movie where there was some kind of manifesto about the liberation of virtual reality?
