>Alleged defects not barred by Section 230 include: not providing effective parental controls; not providing options for young users to self-restrict time used on the platform; [...]
It seems excessively burdensome to require websites to provide "effective" (interpret that as you will) parental controls. There is only so much you can do as a website owner to restrict children from misusing your platform without resorting to extremely intrusive methods (i.e. requesting some form of ID). Because at the end of the day, anyone can create a gmail account and sign up for Facebook while pretending they're 21.
Did they realize that deleting the letter would only cause more people to take interest in reading it?

In certain closed-source implementations.
>"The researchers traced the keys they compromised to devices that used custom, closed-source SSH implementations that didn’t implement the countermeasures found in OpenSSH and other widely used open source code libraries. The devices came from four manufacturers: Cisco, Zyxel, Hillstone Networks, and Mocana. Both Cisco and Zyxel responded to the researchers’ notification of the test results before the completion of the study. Hillstone responded afterward."

And one GCHQ spook, no less.
AFAIK that only applies to healthcare providers.

15/24, so only slightly better than a coin flip.
The names with tildes in them were giveaways, though.
One thing (perhaps
the thing) that makes Wikipedia great is that it doesn't seek the truth. Instead, it seeks verifiability. This means that editors don't have to be experts to write articles, which is the main reason the site is useful at all.
The truth can be very elusive. So it makes sense to move that burden to the sources.

Yes, but running a Snowflake doesn't expose your IP to the website being visited, and therefore you're safe from abuse complaints/prosecution, unlike the people who run the exit nodes.
It's a shame it took this long to go after such a blatant Ponzi.
There is even an ad for this scheme painted on a wall near my home (in Mexico), so one would hope that the US will not be the only country where he will face charges.
