Thank you for sharing this. I work in telehealth and in the U.S. at least, most patients using these devices have no idea what data they're sharing and who they're sharing the data with.
Also ambiguous would be sympathy for this but not for the many private citizens called out publicly on social media by platform owners and government officials for the express purpose of risking those citizens' safety, especially since most citizens don't have the secret service and endless taxpayer money to protect them.
Other than comparing the sales records of two bands, concert attendance, or other numerical measures, it's hard to imagine your comment makes any sense. The Stones and REM weren't contemporaries.
Is that really analogous to one of the world's largest social media sites, especially one with AI that knows exactly what ads to serve you and your friends but not that you're dead?
The AI could probably tell you are dead (with some false positives) but it would be pretty insensitive to have an AI announce the passing of a human, so I imagine they'd keep the AI hands off when it comes to death.
Rupert Murdoch popularized tabloid news as we know it today and Fox News is a reflection of that. They were always concerned more with ratings than facts, and whoever wrote this article is full of shit because the Rupert-Fox-tabloid connection started in the 70s.
Happy for the author and some good points to consider as food for thought (however lacking in research on key points.) But reading between the lines, if the worst addiction did to him/her was dropping to 85lbs and getting kicked out of college for selling drugs, that pretty much indicates a pampered college kid who never truly worked for a habit and it gets SO much worse than that.
Thank you for this comment. The only possible negative here is "Kiwifarms itself will most likely find other infrastructure that allows them to come back online." Cloudflare supposedly being "concerned that our action may only fan the flames of this emergency" is disingenuous at best.
It's also easy to dehumanize by assuming there are 'archetypes' that can be reasonably applied to people just because they're poor or living on the street.
Most food banks in the U.S. use tolerances that go months beyond the dates on packaged and canned foods and also take into account the integrity of the cans/packages. Fresh prepared foods like bakery items are repackaged for quick redistribution. Fruits/veggies (which are a very small portion of what food banks get) are distributed according to their condition but otherwise spoil the same there as anywhere else. And larger foodbank systems distribute things to the agencies - where people who need food actually go - using these guidelines and sometimes have the same food storage methods as grocery distribution centers might. Liability is a concern, but more in the sense of distributing healthy, useful food vs lawsuits.
