This seems like a bit misguided article. Filter is not the issue, it does recognize samples and whatnot. Issue is how YouTube allows the system to be abused. There are people making careers around just claiming videos. As article points out YT says they don't have anything to do with it but they give authors revenue to someone who claimed video without claimer needing to prove he owns the copyright.
I'm sure there's a lot of legal issues and such that directed YT to this path but on the other hand they don't show much interest to the community for making it more benevolent. They are dropping it like it's hot: "We made a system, we don't control it". Doesn't make much sense.
I'm not English native speaker, why is it abuse? There is also book "Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers of World War II" that uses the same term.
> For the rest, if we aren't eating them, something else is going to eat them. It's not a question of "taking an animal life"—the animal's life is going to get taken, in a messy, bloody, terrifying way.
Not necessarily, the amount of ocean inhabitants people consume surely tops what would be taken naturally. I don't see how getting scooped from the ocean, hauled in trucks in small boxes, than kept alive in some aquarium beats living in ocean until any kind of death.
Gorenje was founded while former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was in blooming, it was a thing to call factories by city names, so there's that.
I live in neighboring country, when you're starting a business you can't have city or state name in business name without permission. Also using domains that have city or state name included might get you in some trouble.
You might be misinterpreting the law. Not sure for that case, but it's pretty standard (in this part of the world) that you can't use city or state name in commercial purposes (as a part of the name of the business or a product) without entity permission.
edit: also pages/domains that could be seen as representing the city can get notices about name usage. Domains, iirc, can be claimed for this reason by city.
It's kinda common sense, using city name, for some people, might be seen as representing the city, so any posts made by the page might damage the city public image etc.

Adding: since both our countries still have a lot of laws from communist era, there's all kind of crazy ideas pushed through laws.
True, except knowledge about the game, which will be enormous asset once 1.0 hits.
Also, it will not be wiped as in deleted forever, devs are pondering ideas about making those [archived] planets public or including builds in some way into new planets.
I'm not sure this is explained well. Everything is still accessible, it's just put on different tab. Now there's "News Feed" as before and "Activity Feed", the tab just below "News Feed" tab.
It's really annoying from my experience, I just forget to check that other tab also. Basically your feed is now split to what your friends posted and what pages you follow posted.
The effect author describes might as well be attributed to people: a) not realizing there is another tab to check, b) people forget to check other tab (I'm one of those).
From UX standpoint it might be an improvement, but I'd rather see it implemented as filter you can switch on/off than hardcoded tab you have to remember to check.
For comments advising author not using Facebook, I don't see where that goes? It's just how media works in our country and Facebook is most common social network that all groups of people follow, and there is quite a lot (otherwise censored) political information floating around on it.
Specifically:
> You change the situation by making a choice. If your choice is to have Facebook account, then you are part of the problem, not the solution.
That's all nice and visionary, but in countries where you can cut yourself off of alternative news sources by not following Facebook I don't see how that's good advice.
Try to make lingo a bit simpler, I think most people won't get through all the complicated explanations:
> Catching up with Facebook friends has never been this easy or straight forward before.
This does not mean anything to me, does not deserve main spot.
> Download the app to see what all the fuss is about
Maybe go with "Download the app and start meeting friends for real", emphasize what is it actually about.
> Life's too short to sit around at home
This should be at the top of the page
> Skuuddle helps you be the most socially proactive version of yourself.
I can imagine people with blank expressions when they read this. I would re-word that to "Go out and meet people, a lot", ok, maybe not that simple, but you get what I mean.
> Skuuddle helps you turn your acquaintances into friends.
"Skuuddle helps you turn your virtual friends into real ones."
