This seems super dumb to me.
Admittedly I never had issues reading, so it's hard to put myself in their shoes. But even still...

So nudity and depictions of sex/etc, I get that they're annoying but think they should be effectively forced to allow once they're at a certain scale for similar reasons as anti-trust laws. (With KYC rules because trafficking and underage shit.)
Sex toys? Used shit with bodily fluids? I think they're perfectly justified not to want to deal with that. There are all sorts of ways that can blow up that they're not equipped to prevent.
I started to highlight bits to cut out and highlight as the key points, but it became pretty quickly that that link already is the executive summary. It's already basically in outline form, and a super quick read.
You don't need to rely on the headline.
I think implying it's the same book is still kind of an issue.
If you've read "Wishbone Presents Gullfur's Travels", you haven't read Gulliver's Travels, and you have some huge blind spots about what the actual work is.
It'd probably still need to say "ruminating ever since" to avoid losing sentiment. Ruminating doesn't inherently imply a super long term impact.
Is web of trust still a thing?
That was intended to be kind of a distributed way to determine who didn't suck.
To be fair, I don't think he's actually a bad dude either. Again, flawed, but reasonably well intentioned.
The "worst" thing they did was definitely developing feelings while she's engaged to Roy, but most of that was the nature of working in close proximity. It's inherently different than sneaking around to spend "platonic" time together for a bunch of hours by choice. He had feelings, but mostly didn't cross the line. I don't think he's a terrible person for laying his feelings on the line when she's engaged to someone he doesn't like either. Actually married is the line where it moves to completely not OK.
But yeah, the whole end thing really wasn't anyone being awful. He unilaterally made some decisions that should have been a partnership, and he was wrong to put that much stress on her without talking to her and hearing her. Because they had kids, primarily. But he did recognize that and came back and made the commitment to their family. Then, once she had time to actually breathe again, she was ready to take the leap with him.
That was longer than I meant it to be again lol. But I was surprised to hear the take (and that it was more popular than I'd guess) because it genuinely never occurred to me. She was in pretty deep and he was lashing out from the stress of the situation before she even vocalized her problems with it. (At least from what we see.)
For interaction? Pseudonyms with a ramp up into being able to interact fully is the middle ground. Your activity on that specific site will be monitored to kick you out if you behave inappropriately, but it shouldn't carry across sites unless you voluntarily use a third party identity provider (which is a good option to have).
Massive scale is a big part of the issue. It raises the barrier to entry for competing platforms (because being able to scale to rapid growth is a huge up front investment, and can easily cripple your platform if you don't do so), and brings the moderation responsibilities beyond anything actually manageable. Small to mid sized communities being the norm is much more manageable, much easier to develop for, and much healthier generally.
I didn't buy it, but I don't know how you can bash something clearly experimental like that that leveraged the hardware in unique and interesting ways.
So after all the people actually playing it came up for air lol?
It doesn't matter if the copy is all at once. Every bit of the file touching your computer involves multiple copies. It is fundamentally impossible to share any file without copies being made. The original digitization is already probably illegal because it's for the purpose of distribution and not one of the fair use exceptions. Again, this is exactly identical to the claim that pirate sites providing streaming is legal.
Libraries do not make copies. Legally, it's exactly that simple. There is no ambiguity in any way. It is copyright infringement under current law. It is not possible to defend this without throwing current law in the trash and starting over from scratch. If the judge did somehow rule in IA's favor the Supreme Court could overrule him in about 30 seconds with basically no deliberation. Courts do not have the authority to change the law.
Fair warning: This is complete nonsense:
