Take down requests indeed. Especially for individuals, and especially with GDPR(right to be forgotten), CA privacy law(dont sell my data), etc. If someone else writes on DIRT that I'm an alien from an alien planet bringing a virus to earth (when in fact I'm a human from SF with no viruses), do I need to 1) PAY to get a token to challenge this and also 2) correct inaccurate information with correct information with no option to totally remove the entry (however "ridiculous" the entry)?

Applied to the case of getting accurate VC listings, DIRT has a ploy to get VCs to PAY to get tokens to challenge incorrect entries. Consumers also have an interest in the quality of information, but a primary concern lies with the subject of an entry.

DIRT -If I may, my request to you is to document the heck out of your policies and expected behaviors. The grey line of "ridiculous" that I point out is something that you've mentioned in another response, that you're not in the business of fake news. At some point, you'll need to be making decisions and providing ethical guidelines.

"Premium" sites (like the ones with engineering resources to build to AMP spec) e.g. NYTimes, WA Post, WSJ, are not really prime concern - they can afford to move to AMP and do whatever kind of ad sales they want (direct/programmatic).

It's the smaller websites (Bob's Blog) who can't afford eng resources to build to AMP, and to build fast ads, who are "suffering" a loss of search results prioritistion. (These smaller sites may turn to shady ad networks, and suffer further with shitty ad payload, further lowering search preferences if based on page load).

Does that mean smaller websites are stifled? Not sure...

Its not like she's talking about polishing silver or some martha-stewart level domesticity. The standards of living the author describes are pretty basic.

Dirty clothes on the floor? What is this, your college dorm!? It is an unlikely option that the man/husband could also raise his standards.

MZ- woman to woman, thank you for representing.

Taking a specific example to the next step... If wife places a hamper where dirty clothes have been placed previously, now she is tripping over the hamper instead of the dirty clothes.

In concept, your environmental adjustment makes a lot of sense, and probably works well for many (not all) use cases.

But again, here we are, where the WIFE takes the 'burden' of solving that problem. She has to put a plan together of how to change the environment, that requires time/effort.

Other comments elsewhere on this thread mention that the wife/woman should relax her standards. Not related to the above, but I'd like to just call out, why are we not asking the man/husband to raise his standards!?

Additionally, I send phishing emails to [email protected] which alerts the Anti-Phishing working group... Not sure what happens once they get my forwarded emails...

"But then what does it mean to be understood?"

Great epistemological question for the ages. Vectors for the response include audience type, previous knowledge context, goal for how much needs to be conveyed...

Could also be argued that Google AMP (Accelerated mobile pages) enables publishers to get SOME ad revenue in spite of rise of ad blockers. Thus mitigating, and dare I say using monopoly for some-what good-ish intentions?

Those who aren't savvy (or rich/powerful) enough are those who would be impacted more by lack of privacy - even if the mechanism for lack of privacy is the user's own lack of understanding of what not to post online or how to control apps' privacy settings. COPPA Restrictions are a good example of important functional control of data privacy for those who aren't full-on techies (like children).

A specific example of potential 'personal harm' due to highly detailed targeting is when Facebook identifies an individual who likely suffers from depression based on posts and preferences, and then targets advertisements that perpetuate an environment of depression.

Well done! With GDPR privacy law in the EU and new ISP data collection legal status, I expect we will have much more work to be done in this area, across the country. Hopefully lawmakers will decide to protect consumers. Thanks for getting the ball rolling in Montana!
