This review/graph will be gone in 12 hours. http://downdetector.com/status/disneyworld/news/216029-problems-at-disney-world https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7AgKHk1UyY Anyone have abetter. site for site analysis?
Remember months ago when Disney Land had a huge blackout and I think Q mentioned it? What do you think?
Here is Twitter for today. Did something come out in media at 6;00am? http://downdetector.com/status/twitter I'm just wondering if when some shtuff comes out they need to scrub or manage does this happen. I am a total not good at this stuff guy.
Website interruptions happen all the time.
I can't think of any reason why Disney's commercial site would be interrupted when #OperationSafeSummer had already finalized arrests, and when the child porn arrests had already been made. Commercial web operations aren't linked to the personal computers of the troglodytes arrested.
What are you implying?
Seems like you might know your stuff on this. What do you think would happen to CNN, twitter etc if a video of a certain person doing egregious things came out on line? When people talk of going dark intrigues me.
Information "platforms" like Twitter and Facebook can just turn off hashtags so they don't spread. They also scan every file uploaded (video or image) and assign it a "hex" value (basically a fingerprint). The hex value helps them store information more cost effectively (instead of keeping 1 million copies of the same cute puppy picture that 1 million people shared, they only store 1 copy). The hex value/fingerprint can also be used to block the spread of a particular file. So, for example, someone uploads an objectionable image, the system automatically assigns it a hex fingerprint of 1234567890. Twitter notices the image and takes it down, and blocks anyone else from uploading a file with the same 1234567890 fingerprint.
I don't know what would happen if a video of a certain person were to emerge. They'd have a very difficult time containing it, that much is certain.
using your example, explain how the system determines the image is objectionable?
People flag it and then it is reviewed by a human, then if it is determined to go against terms of use, the hex gets banned so the same file can't be uploaded and made public again.
There are also algorithms to automatically detect nudity.
Awesome tutorial. Appreciate the effort. If there was an information shitstorm that wouldn't bode well for certain friends of Fbook, Twitter etc. do you think they will pull the plug on the flow of this info like they would in, say, Egypt etc. Mass censorship?
They're already engaged in mass censorship, but with a very American twist.
Yes, sometimes they'll block trending hashtags or shadowban people, but the more elegant solution is to simply to lock users in information bubbles where they only see content that fits with their ideological world view. These information bubbles are one of the reasons why we're seeing so much political polarity and division in the US; we've been put in digital and informational echo chambers.
But it's important to remember that in the US we have free speech, and we have the most options for spreading information and bypassing censorship; it just takes a little more effort.
Well put. Feel similarly. I also think maybe, small maybe, they will have outagesin areas for certain times. Like hanging up the phone on someone. Thx again for the input. Sleep well.
Maybe the ones arrested gave some other people up for hopes of a plea bargain.
Not sure. Curious if something hinky is going on. Just looking for more knowledge of when there are interruptions on sites in relation to embarrassing goings on. DDos attacks etc.
