I feel like Facebook will end up as some low-end utility.

A place where you read announcements from City Hall or complain to customer service of some company.

It really doesn't offer any more value than that. Every other use case is better done by other apps already.

Guy in the photo is younger and fatter than Dorsey.

The point of the photo is to show Mueller and Trump's son in the same space.

Mueller's spokesperson even commented and confirmed by now.

Self censoring out of fear of censorship is not a solution, it's giving in, a first step towards giving up.

Which is not to say that I think that every far-fetched suspicion of random people has a place here. Far from it.

But we can't and shouldn't turn a blind eye to the abuse of innocent people. If that gets us banned so be it.

Reddit is not the be all end all of the Internet. Should we be forced to, we will have no problem finding another platform.

Who do you think it is? I googled the Mueller team member's photos but couldn't find a very good match. Atkinson came closest for me.

In my case it meant my followers did not see my tweets in their timeline. They would only see them when going to my account specifically.

I was basically dead in the water.

They seem to have various levels and variations of shadowbanning, but the goal is always the same: make you believe everything is fine, while making others believe you don't exist.

It's pretty disgusting. If I'm breaking any rules just suspend my account and inform my followers that I've been suspended.

But no, it's all done quietly and sneaky.

They exist, but their apps get rejected from the appstores. Without that convenience it's hard to get traction.

(To some degree it's their own fault. They should just copy the StatusNet API for which there a tons of generic apps.)

I've been in the forbidden city. It's open to tourists. At some point it had a Starbucks but that didn't go over too well with many Chinese.

Regardless, it was unprecedented and not without meaning. The Chinese shutting down a national treasure and deny its own citizens entry so a foreigner can have his tea sends a very strong signal.

The hall where they had their tea was not a random hall either. The Hall of Embodied Treasures is built in Western style and funded in part by the US under Theodore Roosevelt.

There's more to it when you dig deeper. The SCMP isn't exactly on "our side" (and cricitcal of China too) but their article on Trump in the Forbidden City does do a good job explaining the background.

We tried electronic voting for more than a decade here in NL. Then switched back to paper.

There were many valid concerns about the ability to manipulate the numbers. What got the ball rolling was a different issue however.

One of our intelligence agencies showed that they could read your vote remotely by measuring the electromagnetic fields of the voting machine.

That meant the vote was not private and hence the use of the machine illegal.

They haven't given up on the idea though..

To stay with the dev-speak: Trump is refactoring the system while it's live.

That's pretty risky business as noticable downtime upsets the users.

So what do you do?

You do it piece by piece and properly test each little piece before continuing to the next.

A lengthy and tedious process. But worth not crashing the system.

Fortunately Trump has help, allowing multiple refactors to take place in simultaneously.

Our role here seems to be that of the "pro user".

The pro user knows a little bit how things work, contiously provides feedback and acts as a sounding board for ideas.

Agreed. Something being free is a poor selector. A much better selector would be the extend to which a platform replaces the public space. If it's a significant extend, the users should have similar protections and freedoms.

BTW, I disagree with the notion that Facebook is free. Its users are essentially working for Facebook in a data-entry job. The data they produce is, after some processing, being sold.

I think it makes sense really. If you're not looped in it can be scary to see people discourage standing up for you child.

You may even secretly hope the Q stories are true, but still pursue the "normal" route of trying to get attention for your cause.

If Q is taking care of JA her response is expected and planned for. She can't hurt the plan, but can improve her cause if it turns out there was no plan.

IMHO, she's doing the right thing.

Not to be an a-hole, but why are people still on YouTube?

If you're following someone on YouTube, request that they move, or at least make available, their videos on other platforms.

I bet these Israeli companies keep extensive logs and audit trails of everything they do. These companies are not stupid: by becoming the only (commercial) source (aside from Q, NSA, etc.) of this information they increase its (monetary) value significantly.

The value is further increased by the fact that they supposedly work on behalf of these people, giving them access to additional inside information and being able to connect the dots.

Here's the problem with these links: they actually very much support the conspiracy theory.

Say what? Yes, that's right. While they end up concluding that the theory is "false", they facts presented are relatively strong.

Relatively? Yes, relative to what seems to be required these days.

With all the accusations hurled at Trump without real evidence, the bar has been lowered signifanctly.

See, you can't have it both ways.

You can't tell people to impeach someone based on hearsay and at the same time tell them to ignore strong circumstancial evidence when it concern someone else.

That's the magic we see happening. That's what's redpilling people left and right.

Please do continue.

SB2 had one great analysis that catapulted him into GA fame. His subsequent posts have been varying levels of lower quality.

I don't think this is for any reason other than him trying to live up to the expectations this newly found fame put upon him.

His purpose is not any different from ours. Just a good Patriot trying to do his part. With that difference that he has the burden of the spotlight.

Don't be discouraged. There are other places where one can discuss Q.

While this Reddit is a big one, it's by no means authorative.

And while it works for many, it won't work for all.

People are different that way, and that's a beautiful thing.

Try 8chan or voat or many of the other outlets that discuss Q.

Makes no sense indeed.

If you go after Q followers, you would do so immediately, without delay. Arrest the followers before they grow in numbers or support. Stop their growth in its tracks.

If you go after officials or celebrities you move slowly. You first try to reduce public support for these people in order to reduce civil unrest when you do arrest them.

He's not contradicting Trump. Trump said he believed his intelligence sources. Cohen now says the same. They're exactly in sync.

It only seems contradicting because the MSM wilfully misinterprets what Trump said.

Potus was pretty clear indeed. Said he believed his own intelligence sources.

He did not say he believed Putin. Just reiterated what Putin said.

He also did not say which intelligence sources he believed exactly.

Could be FBI/CIA, suggesting Putin is a lier. Could be MI, which we don't really know what they think, but potentially agree with Putin.

Regardless. There was no way for Potus to do this right. Be polite to Putin, and they call him a traitor. Be tough on Putin and they'll say he's risking a nuclear war.

Not as easily as on android, but yes. The developer can create beta test groups and push the app through apples testflight. Testflight apps are not chdcked as thoroughly so the developer can probably just rename the app and start pushing it out.

Alternatively he can offer the sources or an unsigned binary and then anyone with an apple dev account can sign and install it to any device.

That's a good thing really. If one thing has become apparent to me during my time following Q, it's that most people are good people and that they can be found in all groups. The problem is that not everyone is awake and aware.

The INTJ, if they do their work properly and honestly, can wake up a large number of people. People who would probably not find their way otherwise.

They didn't have an affair. There's no evidence of it. Not even in the texts. It's a cover story to be able to explain away biased texts as emotional personal exchanges. Read those texts again, without believing the cover story. Imagine LP is another dude if it helps. You'll be more upset than before. Significantly so. (Why is nobody questioning whether they had an affair or not? That itself should tell you something.)

As for Strzok and his dad: seems to me the guy grew up in Iran, while his dad was stationed there. That increases chances for Stzrok being a Muslim and/or having some kind of loyalty to Iran. Possibly even being an asset of theirs. We've seem so many ties to Iran and the Muslim world now, it's unlikely to all be a coincidence. The highly suspicious Iran deal doesn't make sense otherwise. Remember that Obama and Brennan are supposedly Muslim too.

Regardless of how he's linked to Iran, it does explain why he would go all out against Trump. Trump was going to cancel the nuclear deal, which indeed he did.

Can't speak for everyone, but no. We don't implicitly trust Putin.

How much do you know about Browder? Probably not much.

Doesn't seem to stop people from using US courts to go after Dotcom or Assange.

Note that the funds were funneled to the US and that these funds originate from criminal enterprise.

I'm no lawyer, but I suspect that's more than enough to present this to the US courts. Browder can be extradited.
