UK ISPs block around 1500+ domains through High Court orders and police make 12k+ arrests a year for online speech. You don’t need a formal firewall when the effect is the same in practice.

So at first you're sympathising with discriminating against those that you see as suffering less and then your big idea is treating people equally and that's a 'hard sell'. That is like being a basic good fucking human, it's not a novel idea.

Mmhmm 6 years ago

I actually thought it was a well made parody site, funner zooming/mmhmm, the bs marketing speak. On further inspection it actually looks like it could be useful in presenting slides, like a corporate obs or something.

Poaching has a much broader meaning than the one you describe. It's simply taking someone's property without permission. With modern employment contracts (non-competes/no outside work/drug tests...) I believe the comparison to property is quite apt.

Knowing how many read a comment would help with comment assessment but how do you get that information. I suppose we could track scroll positions, I'm not sure how reliable it would be.

It'd be cool if websites could use eye tracking, then we could easily tell what got read. Maybe in the future.

The fact that YOU want to discriminate based on skin color today means you are the only racist. Multiple races have faced systematic oppression eg. Chinese/Japanese/Jewish and are now some of the most successful in society. They didn't need affirmative action to get there.
