Speaking from personal experience working with these reputation warehouses and with handling a good deal of incoming and outgoing email volume, they aren't any more effective than other IP-based spam heuristics and if everyone configured their DKIM correctly these warehouses would be largely obsolete. I don't see a problem with crowdsourcing heuristic data per se, but email is a much narrower field than internet traffic at large and I can see a lot of the ways that poorly configured fail2ban type software could accidentally ban a lot of valid traffic.

I'm actually a big fan of Netflix exactly as you articulated you don't like it—if I have an empty head, I sit down and click through to find something to watch. Not currently subscribed, though, and I wish it came at a slightly lower price point as I don't watch the vast majority of netflix content.

Also—I just found this out a month ago—a "nutritionist" is not the same thing as a dietitian, which is licensed. I had assumed these were one and the same.

Reminds me of the joke "a man was selling books on the corner entitled 'how to become a millionaire'. Naturally, I bought one—turns out the trick is to sell a million books for a dollar."

Am I missing something? FAANG obviously omits a bunch of relevant large tech companies and it's rather disingenuous to be confused at its omission when the acronym obviously doesn't have an M in it. Feigning stupidity to make a point against a straw man is both juvenile behavior and evidently derailed the thread from civil or productive conversation. That's a successful troll, my friend, not any kind of behavior that aligns with the community guidelines.

There's nothing precluding the legal analysis you've outlined from stemming from a poor understanding of the underlying technology. Just because the legal reasoning is internally sound doesn't mean the resulting narrative makes any sense when applied to reality, and it hardly is the only possible internally sound judgement. There is plenty of room for arbitrary semantics (and I would argue actively harmful and ignorant semantics) to dominate the resulting judgement.
