  Not every power imbalance is automatically coercive.

  The problem is that power imbalances make it impossible to establish consent:

  • The underling has no guarantee that refusing will not result in retribution.
  • The superior has no way to know if the underling’s agreement is true consent or if it was out of fear of retribution.

  If you are American, you should buy Chinese tech because the Chinese government is more interested in spying on and controlling its own people than you.

  Why are you approaching other people’s kids and take away their ipads?

  Funny - I assume on one here was actually involved in creating the law that requires identification when buying pornography (or alcohol. Or tobacco) at stores, but we are all considered responsible for it to the point we are hypocrite if we object a similar law?

  If someone says they are against that law now, years after it’s already established and spread, it won’t be taken as “I’m generally against the government limiting our freedom to consume what we want” but as “I want to push children to consume porn/alcohol/tobacco”. So no one argues against these laws. But it’s much more feasible to argue against the new laws - a ship that’s still in the port.

  30 years from now, when they make the law that neural implants must detect illegal thoughts in the users’ biological brains and block them, you’d make the argument that it’s not fundamentally different than blocking the same topics on the internet - a practice that, by that time, will already be accepted by the general populace.

  They have seatbelts, but for the most of the flight they are unused - you only need to buckle in during takeoff, landing, and if when encountering turbulence.

  I guess there wasn’t enough time to get all the passengers to fasten their seatbelts before the collision?

  “The growth of dark traffic undermines the ability of publishers to fund the production of quality content, or even operate as a business. We must recognise users are not the main driver causing this.”

  And Scott Messer, founder of publishing adtech consultancy Messer Media, added: “Dark traffic is unlike anything we have seen before. It’s demonetising publisher content at scale without user consent.

  I also didn’t mind the two extra buttons, and was a little sad when they went away, because they were largely replaced by the joystick buttons, which I think are hard to use properly.

  Weren’t the black and white buttons replaced by triggers? The joystick buttons already existed in the first XBox.
