Following Google's smashing success at deleting videos cited in an AQ trial, the company now takes aim at pretty much anyone who may potentially be enabling others who may potentially do something bad.
I still feel like people havent figured out this internet thing.
If I want to report on a post by say some scrubby Islamic State propagandist I'm going to do it. They can ban me but it will just become part of the reporting. Then give me a few minutes and I'll be back on the site doing my thing again.
Terrible terms of service don't make a private garden. Neither does IP/phone number fingerprinting. I agree with you though, it is not that complicated.
>the trusted setup can only be used to create fake Zcash, not deanonymize transactions.
"I think we can successfully make Zcash too traceable for criminals like WannaCry, but still completely private & fungible"
"I _don't_ mean weakening security (https://z.cash/support/faq.html#backdoor …). I mean that a secure protocol layer is compatible with good law enforcement." -zooko
Not sure how your statements carry water in the face of that comment.
>I'd also like a concise description that indicates how the changes will roll the US back to the intense pollution problems that existed 30+ years ago.
Why would I alter my comment to be in tune with what you want when I was responding to this:
>Exactly what environmental protection is Trump rolling back?
No just pointing out you are creating a false narrative.
>There are many thousands of regulations. They don't all make sense. They're not all necessary.
"Soooo many regulations, we couldn't possibly need all of these. Ignore the specific few discussed here lets make it about allllll these redundant regulations."
>Bitcoin.org is controlled by the same people and should not be taken as any sort of an authority.
Not sure if many people here are aware, but r/Bitcoin mod Theymos and others in the Core/Blockstream circle proposed and supported editing Satoshi's bitcoin whitepaper[1].
They did this under the reasoning that they control the bitcoin.org domain where it has been historical hosted and want to treat it as a living document. Obviously people didn't like this but the issue has not been resolved, it was only put "On Hold."
Because it diverts the topic. It is literally introducing the fallacy seen in "And you are lynching Negroes[1]" to avoid the subject. Because of people like you we cannot discuss being victimized today because of deeds in the past made by unrelated entities.
The consensus for bitcoin is made within the network itself. Not on a mentally unstable person's poll.
Luke-jr, aka the Blockstream coder/troll who has used his pool to maliciously kill other cryptocoins[1], made that poll based on Coinbase KYC info. That polling platform only has use within a tiny segment of Bitcoin users that trust Luke after his abhorrent actions and those that are also on Coinbase with verified accounts.
That is not consensus at all. Bitcoin as it turns out has mechanics for building and signalling consensus but Blockstream & co have been pounding sand trying to subvert it for years now.
Here is an enlightening thread on the type of awful actions Blockstream/Core has been up to regarding 2x and signals to support it among the Bitcoin community. Matt, Drak and the other Blockstream/Core thugs spend their time screaming at people on reddit/twitter while inventing lies[2] that necessitate being called out by their victims[3].
>same can be said for US actions over the past decades
Is this really the best response? A deflection? Do you know how tiring it gets? How little it advances discussion?
My peers are being hunted for documenting war crimes but OK US did similar stuff some decades ago so I guess the topic is resolved for good. Wrapped up nicely with a bow for eternity.
