Kinda like the Imperial measurement system, if you are being compared to Myanmar then perhaps stop?

There's a reason the average black male spends 1/3 of their life in prison in America.
And then has the right to vote taken away when they get out....
Same thing that happens when other slaves are hurt or killed on the job.
Not a hell of a lot.
carbon capture facilities
These are a known scam, by the way. It's just repackaging a technique oil companies already use to squeeze more oil out of the same fields and charge the government and consumers for the pleasure of feeling like they've done something.
Are those labels really needed?
Fascist and populist are not mutually exclusive.
"Google never specified which of her 222,000 words was inappropriate. There were no highlighted sections, no indicators of what had rendered her documents unshareable. Had one of her readers flagged the content without discussing it with her first? "
So much of her work could have broken the T&Cs that she can't identify what it could be without highlights.
Original Wired article says later in it that Google thought she was spamming
Different author, but if that's the case (and it seems this author shares files to over 80 people in one go) then it's a spam filter issue? Again, non story.
The headline is a complete lie.
"Romance" is such a crap term! She was writing porn. Likely with minors. I'm involved with a lot of authors, some also write porn ~~open-door spice~~, and the only things that get Google bans (from what I've been told) are kiddie porn and extreme gore.
While the dangers of handing your documents to Google can't be overstated, don't sympathise too much with this person.
EDIT: y'all know she was only blocked from sharing, right? She did not lose access to any of her work and no one has the right to demand a middle man for their content.
Scenario: Jack draws some heinous CP cartoon. He wants to share it with Alice. He asks Jill to hand it to Alice. Jill says "I am not handing this to anybody." Should Jill be on blast for censoring Jack?
Scenario 2: Jack draws some middling soft-core porn. He wants to share it with Alice. He asks Jill to hand it to Alice. Jill says "I am not handing this to anybody." Should Jill be on blast for censoring Jack?
You don't have to give either money and there is the option to give both money.
You literally sent that from a FOSS platform...
I don't think this is a great "guide".
It's overly simplistic: a lot happened between the launch of the internet and the dotcom bubble bursting (like the dotcom bubble itself). It doesn't mention the blog explosion of the late 90s. It doesn't mention the rise of personal/family websites. It talks about search engines, but the 90s were defined by the browser wars.
It's wrong: Dropbox was launched in 2007. Tim Berners-Lee didn't just propose the internet, he created the first web browser, the first web server, and invented HTML.
Going to go away and read about this. As a Brit living in Spain, I know very little about the ins and outs of what's going on there.
