You say that like things rushed through for non-scientific reasons have a risk of bad side effects. How absurd!

I don't know about you, but I was really expecting he/him after that.
My own view on most of this sort of extremist things as well as fake news in general is that it’s essentially a ranking problem. We’re very good at detecting what’s the most relevant and what’s the least relevant. It should be possible for computers to detect malicious, misleading and incorrect information and essentially have you not see it. We’re not arguing for censorship, we’re arguing just take it off the page, put it somewhere else.

whose views have been described as
Didn't Wikipedia used to have some sort of weasel wording tag for that kind of phrasing?
Besides that, shall we make a list of what ol' Jimbo "has been described as"?
Boardgaming, specifically Gloomhaven. Base game was great, Jaws of the Lion was wonderful, Forgotten Circles was terrible. Fortunately we're one dumbass boss fight away from putting that expansion away forever.
Damn, back when DC used to recycle their old plots like "Superboy joins a wolfpack" at least they had the sense to wait for their juvenile audience to age out of comics and even then do some new art.
Trypophobia is not included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,
but it’s estimated that 16% of people suffer from it.
Those two statements cannot both be true, at least if the estimate is assumed valid. Even counting DSM politics, if one out of every SIX people had an irrational fear of something EVERYONE WOULD KNOW IT.
Of course, the two can be true if the estimate is total bullshit. Most people are unsettled by holes, such as this photo of a robbery victim with a through-and-through gunshot wound.
You can't have free speech but also arrest people for saying mean things.
So I was telling my friend that we have as much free speech in the EU as America. To prove it I walked to a street by the White House and yelled "FUCK TRUMP! DOWN WITH AMERICA!" and I wasn't arrested. Then we went to Berlin and I walked to a street by the Chancellery and yelled "FUCK TRUMP! DOWN WITH AMERICA!" and I wasn't arrested either.
(Yes, I just repurposed an old Cold War joke.)
Until he gets purged next week because of something he said on Twitter eight years ago.
Oh, that's adorable, you think a raving mob care who you voted for.
I imagine someone lying in the gutter on the 9th November 1938 and bleeding out muttering "But I voted for the Chancellor's party...."
Didn't you know? Canada is comprised entirely of Ontario, Quebec, and some vestigial organs.
AMERICANS: There are apparently 37.6 million Canadians standing by to help with your anxiety.
My help will involve telling you to grow the fuck up. You're welcome.
You put a teacher in charge, the place starts looking like a classroom.

What'll they think of next? Wet water? The name of the religion literally means "Submission"!
the foundation of policing is racist
What is this, more "cops were created to track down escaped slaves" bullshit? Obviously that was a major concern in a Canadian cattle town.
there will likely be a civil war rather than submission
Speaking of someone being more optimistic....
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?
After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you'd be cracking the skull of a cutthroat. Or what about the Black Maria sitting out there on the street with one lonely chauffeur - what if it had been driven off or its tires spiked? The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!
If . . . if . . . We didn't love freedom enough. And even more - we had no awareness of the real situation. We spent ourselves in one unrestrained outburst in 1917, and then we hurried to submit. We submitted with pleasure!
So much for sisterhood.
It's more socially acceptable to be a Marxist than to be a Trump supporter.
TBH I think you could change that to "Stalinist" and it'd still be valid.
There are always people in the gulags who think they're the one massive clerical error. Everyone else deserves to be there.
Hey guys in the media, remember how evil "There ought to be limits on freedom" was?
Guys?
Guys?
So is ACB going to turn into godzilla and destroy a city or something?
According to reports ACBzilla is peacefully rampaging through one end of the city, the destruction is all at the other end.
Couldn't even dry off before running off to the internet to put on a show.
Am I secretly a woman?
Oh, only one thing for that.
(Gets out the hedge clippers.)
The PRC refers to itself as a "Democratic Dictatorship"
Well, that's good enough for me, then.
(Democratically tosses bodies into the incinerator.)
At this point I'd take a sentence starting with "According to multiple crackwhores" as a more accurate representation of reality.
