Apple says it will kick Parler off the App Store in 24 hours unless content is moderated

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
No because that's retarded. Look up what protected classes are in the law.


Do you ever tire of simping for a 75 year old grifter?


Look up protected classes. You can't not hire someone simply because they're a tranny, but you can for any non-protected class
Protected classes are state sanctioned discrimination because the government views some races, sexes, or groups as better than another. Do you support Yaniv because the state does?
Race is a protected class. Not black people. Sex is a protected class. Not women.
Wrong in practice and in legal theory.

What? Protected classes aren't specific instances of those classes, but the classes itself. You cannot refuse to hire someone just because they're straight, gay, bi, tranny, etc...
 
Twitter is retarded.
Parler is retarded.
Gab is retarded.
Goolge is retarded.
Apple is retarded.
Amazon is retarded.

None of these organisations strike me as particularly trustworthy. Anyone who stands to gain monetarily form exploiting you is not your friend and you should not form emotional attachments to them nor trust them.
 
The theory:

The reality:

Wrong based on legal definitions, precedent, and theory around of protected classes, disparate impact and treatment, and subject classifications,
Nope. They can decide not to hire you for any reason that isn't a protected class (age, gender, sexual preference, etc) except in a few cases where it would not allow you to do the job. You can be fired or not hired for pretty much any other reason.
 
Lawsuits about employment discrimination against men regularly succeed. They're rarer, but not at all fruitless.

The EEOC does pursue those cases pretty effectively.
"Men sometimes aren't treated like second-class citizens" isn't what I'd call a huge win. (Hard mode: now do white people.)
 
Here’s a new idea for a Signal/Parler/Telegram styled app:

>distributed through secondhand sources (like direct APK downloads for Android or even ones for iOS)
>VPS servers are hosted in Transnistria
>don’t use soy DBs or cloudshit
>use P2P for infrastructure
>don’t use mainstream payment processors, stick to Bitcoin + Monero. Don’t use Coinbase.

Am I getting anything wrong or missing anything?
