The Trump Administration wishes to replace the Republican stepping down from the FCC with a purported "bias hawk" on Section 230 and Social Media named Nathan Simington.

Article said:
On October 15, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai revealed that he intended to move forward with a FCC rulemaking to clarify the meaning of Section 230.

It was something Republicans on Capitol Hill were clamoring for, after it became known two of the world’s biggest social media platforms blocked a New York Post article with accusatory claims regarding Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and Ukraine.

Literally minutes later, the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation revealed that it will hold a nomination hearing for O’Rielly’s suggested successor — one week after Election Day.

That November 10 hearing came as it became clear that Joe Biden had defeated President Trump, potentially putting Pai’s plan on ice.

With Jessica Rosenworcel being discussed by many as the next FCC Chair, Simington’s arrival on the Commission would pair him with the remaining Republican, Brendan Carr.

Twitch outlaws 'simp' and 'incel' as sexually disparaging insults

The words aren't banned, but won't be allowed when used to 'negatively refer to another person's sexual practices.'
www.pcgamer.com www.pcgamer.com

Twitch says they will be more stern in enforcing their rules. Terms such as 'incel' 'simp' and 'virgin' will no longer be allowed to be used in a disparaging manner towards another user.

These include
  • Alleging that a person is sexually immoral due to their attire or physical appearance
  • Stating that a person’s attire reflects negatively on their sexual practices
  • Suggesting that a person’s channel is only popular or has not been banned due to sexual favors
  • Repeatedly negatively targeting another person with sexually-focused terms, such as ‘whore’ or ‘virgin’
These rules are in addition to previous rules adopted in the prior week which banned the Confederate Flag, blackface and general disparaging comments about peoples sexual activity (or lack thereof).
 
Your Credit Score Should Be Based on Your Web History, IMF Says

Big tech and financial sector might team up, to make sure the right people get the loans.

In a new blog post for the International Monetary Fund, four researchers presented their findings from a working paper that examines the current relationship between finance and tech as well as its potential future. Gazing into their crystal ball, the researchers see the possibility of using the data from your browsing, search, and purchase history to create a more accurate mechanism for determining the credit rating of an individual or business. They believe that this approach could result in greater lending to borrowers who would potentially be denied by traditional financial institutions.

The IMF's job is to be the organization of last resort for loans to countries. They should not under any circumstances be involved with decisions for various banks, or get involved with national politics. They definatly have no right to influence who does and does not get loans on an individual level.

This is a gross over stepping of their bounds.

Don't worry. According to the paper it's being done to help and uplift those disenfranchised by "traditional" financial institutions so it's all good. Plus as a positive side effect said traditional paymasters can be better informed of toxic assets... I mean internet users and censor them until they're rehabilitated.

I judging from historical standards we have 20 to 30 more years of this shit before we get a full on civil war.

I mean in theory we get one last chance to reform the system peacefully when the next populist leader comes but I think these guys have gone full retard.
 
19 Insane Tidbits From Damore Suit About Google's Office Environment

And these are the people who would decide who can get employed and who can get loan and who can get a free speech...

Google manager Adam Fletcher wrote in 2015 he would never hire conservatives he deemed hold hostile views. “I will never, ever hire/transfer you onto my team,” he wrote. “Ever. I don’t care if you are perfect fit or technically excellent or whatever. I will actively not work with you, even to the point where your team or product is impacted by this decision. I’ll communicate why to your manager if it comes up.”


“You’re being blacklisted by people at companies outside of Google,” he added. “You might not have been aware of this, but people know, people talk. There are always social consequences.”

Your assuming that the democrats wont stab them in the back, the thing is the democrats know they cant allow any one to have that kind of power because there is every possibility that one day that power will be used against them.

Add to that pretty much every one who matters has a bone to pick with the tech industry.

The republicans just had a full on blood war declared on them during an election year and there is no way in fucking hell any ones forgiving that. But for the Progressive wing of the party there is the issue that algorythms dont pay taxes and they want that money.

I give them 2 years max before the conquences start hitting hard.
