The bystander effect is mostly misunderstood and the way it’s depicted here is almost entirely myth.

You’re almost guaranteed to be helped by a bystander. Kitty Genovese was murdered where nobody could see after bystanders shouted at the guy from the building in his first attempt.
Hey thanks for the correction - my mistake!
It is dogshit compared to tiktok in the only functionality that matters - algorithmic matching of content to user.
Yeah ok it can stream a video cool. That’s not worth a can of beans in 2025 - can it give you content that you want to see when you want to see it?
The answer is a resounding no right now. Until it’s consistently serving up top notch pairings of content to user interest it wont stand a chance in the mainstream.
The proactive part is when they shut your account down and report it to the cops but yeah, the cooperating with interpol by providing data that they claimed they didn’t keep is damning.
They’ve been cooperating with law enforcement and handing data to the cops proactively since 2021.
Pay attention.
The writing was on the wall for proton for a while now
As of Salesforce didn’t suck enough as is
I mean the arguments themselves were fairly cogent, all things considered. The prosecution got grilled pretty damn hard too.
Truth ain’t bullshit and thee bullshitters don’t stop unless they’re told.
Increasingly sick of people amplifying bullshit mostly
Good thing they had the budget
When the two sides did reach an agreement in November, that money was moved over to the fire department’s pot, according to Mr. Blumenfield’s office, meaning this year’s fire budget is actually $53 million more than last year.
Weird way to cut a budget
Because the app store isn’t the only way to install an app. It is trivially easy to side load apps and it’s well within the technologic skillset of the average 12 year old.
They’ve set it up so it’s a legal mess. The platforms aren’t given any mechanism to actually perform verifications (no double blind id system, for example) but are legally on the hook for each and every under-16 on the platforms. A quote in the article suggests it should be the app stores verifying which is even more fucking stupid.
Because it wasn’t defunded you fell for bullshit.
Even more funnily it’s bullshit. People lie on the Internet
The budget was increased by 53 million.

Bill Maher is pretty damn conservative tbh
