White House Goes Too Far In Asking Google To Pull Controversial Video

What they were answering

sophware · 1 points

I get that people think so. I'd like to understand more why (besides purely emotional reasons).

They have already condemned the video. It's good for them to look for stronger ways to do so. This isn't their only way and appears to be indirect censorship.

It doesn't seem to everyone that they have to ask for it to be taken down.

Well that's all this is about, purely emotional responses. They don't have to ask to take it down. However, Islamic leaders would be given more fuel to say that they were not serious with their condemnation if they didn't. Will it make a bit of difference in the extremist's eyes? Probably not. However, it's not hurting to ask. They know Google will just say no.

The White House has to at least ask for it to be taken down, so they look like they are condemning it. They are not going to force it to be taken down, but they have to at least ask. It's the responsible thing to do, eve

Instagram loses 25% of its users

Replying to entangledphysx · God I hate instagram. Everyone I know of facebook wants to put a stupid instagram filter on their pictures. Lo-fi, grainy, shitty colors. wtf. I hate it so bad.

I'll be honest, some of my friends on Facebook look much better through a filter. It softens the sometimes harsh genetic realities.

'Stop the bullshit' says T-Mobile CEO

Replying to GTDesperado · It's not even financed, really. At the end of the two years, your bill still stays the same.

Not anymore with T-Mobile. Also, they did subsidize part of my phone. I called them up and told them I wanted the Galaxy Note 2, but I was not going to pay full price. I've been a customer with them for 8 years, and I to

UK porn blocking

I am in Dubai right now, and they are blocking porn. They are also blocking atheism sites. I currently cannot view threads on /r/atheism either. It sucks!

Religious websites riskier than porn for online viruses: study

Replying to inpu · I agree. Many religious sites look like they're run by people who are not very tech savvy.

That's putting it very nicely. I'd say it looked like a half retarded monkey made it. Only half retarded though, so at a passing glance one might think it knew what it was doing; especially other half retarded monkeys.
