Reminds of Daniel Everett's work with the Pirahã, who have non-existent recursion in language. Unfortunately one exception in biology is not evidence of generality. Proof by contradiction works in math, doesn't work very well in biology. Doesn't even work well in physics e.g. room temperature super conductors are extremely rare even if they exist.

Physically you can make people do anything, but what they want internally is a completely different matter and there is no way today to probe that.

Let's assume there is a large section of people who can only love their direct off springs, the author could perhaps claim that that would be immoral - is this gaslighting or what. What's the end game for this kind of stuff - it's to eliminate all preferences - quite akin to slavery.

The writers better be vegan if they're worried about wildlife impact from the launch.

Also, not just emojis, your innocuous comments on a random forum (like this one) could probably also be considered contacts.

Retroactively everyone should look through all the emoji contracts they've signed.

Give me a million dollars. Thumbs up emoji.

Now you're in for a million dollars.

Edit - frequent, not existing users. I'm an infrequent user, do not find it unsettling at all. It'll get fixed soon.

Just experimentation. He bought the company at the top of the market and has a large debt bill, likely that is all there is to the frequent changes.

It's obvious that existing users will find this unsettling.

Its a term for manufactured moral conformity.

Morality is good. Conformity is bad if it is in appearance. Manufactured moral conformity is problematic.

It'll be a whole lot better to debate than not, but have accepted rules of the debate - e.g. that it'll be evidence based.

Not everyone is a good debater. You'll not be able to logically convince everyone, but it is possible that you'll be able to move a percentage toward your side of the argument.

At the minimum good debating requires taking perspectives, it isn't sufficient to shoot down or simply argue against the other side.

Therein lies the difficulty - to allow yourself to take perspective of the other side opens you up to the possibility of losing because you do not have the skills to navigate the complexity of debating.

People who can take perspectives and then still choose their side, are naturally much more rational and that is evidence to those who are watching.

The more complex the languages for building web pages become, the more complex browsers become, the harder it is for someone to build or continue to build a Chrome alternative, the harder it becomes to challenge Google.

The more complex these languages are, the more SEO content gets generated ad nauseum.

Yet it is impossible to learn CSS from searching Google.
