If people weren't as stupid, they'd already be ignoring fox news.
The solution to misinformation isn't censorship, it's for people to be better educated. Are we supposed to ban every conspiracy theory website? If so, who gets to decide what is the truth and what is "misinformation"? The same type of government organization that is now banning books in florida? No thanks.

iOS now has a "Lockdown Mode" which is supposed to be more secure against pegasus, but can break some functionality, but then again, it's a closed source OS so you'll have to take their word for it.

What is this scene? I never watched Star Trek, but this image looks so funny out of context, but what's the scene about? I don't mind spoilers since it's so old anyways. I really want to watch Star Trek but not sure if it's really the type of stuff I'd like to watch. I mean, the only space themed shows/movies that I liked are: The Martian, Interstellar, The Expanse, and For All Mankind. Is this similar, or is it just gonna be too outdated for my liking? (I'm 19-22 years old)

What do you mean they're over? I've invested billions of dollars in them. I've even given up on owning a house just so I can become the next sucessful billionaire investor. Away with your nonsense. Y'all just isn't as smart as me. 🤓

If your comment (the top-level one) was supposed to be sarcasm, you need a /s tag because there are people actually being serious saying that "it's a conspiracy, couldn't be any other possible explanation" stuff.
But also, the "hostage" thing is not entirely false, just very exaggerated. They only take your family "hostage" if you are like a leader of a protest or something. But I doubt they care if you are just some forum user that has no followers and "protesting" online. They got too many dissidents within their jurisdiction to care about those abroad.

Well I, as a former citizen of China, do "speak out" against CCP as in family discussions, in online forums, and sometimes with classmates in school, but I don't "speak out" as in actually participate in protests. Demonstrations just isn't my thing. Protesting against CCP gets you labeled a "race traitor". I mean honestly, with all the racial problems in the US, and having to deal with my abusive family, I really don't have to energy care about CCP anymore. It's dead to me. I view China just like how an anti-fascist German view Nazi Germany. There's no point of protests. It's beyond anything a protest can fix. Like... why do I even care, it isn't even my country anymore.
Edit: Also, it isn't a conspiracy that ethnic Chinese (I'm gonna use the term "ethnic Chinese" because this applies regardless of citizenship status) people don't "speak out". People just value "Social Harmony" more than being correct. Like if you live abroad, why care about what happens back in China? Most ethnic Chinese people who lives abroad don't really feel welcome in their new country, so why be against your former country if you aren't even sure if you are actually safe in your new one? You don't end up in a situation where you have no safe harbor in the world. Ethnic Chinese people living abroad believe China will accept them again in-case their living situation abroad goes south, so they don't want to get on the bad side of the Chinese government. Like what happened with the Chinese Exclusion act in the US more than 100 years ago, and also the Japanese Internment Camps. Maybe you disagree with the thought process, but that is what most ethnic Chinese people think.

Honestly, our attention span is so fucked, most of us only read headlines.
Source: Me, I read headlines most of the time. Too depressed to read a full article.
I clicked on a link to the comment, then I keep pressing "show context" to see the comment one level higher, then I get hit with this screen... Kinda reminds me of that news story where one person accidentally shut down the internet of an entire country...

One of the major problems with TV that I've noticed is that you can have a great premise and great starting season, then the show gets cancelled for some stupid reason. I often find movies to have higher quality than TV. What do you think?
You know those sci-fi teleporters like in Star Trek where you disappear from one location then instantaneously reappear in another location? Do you trust that they are safe to use? To fully understand my question, you need to understand the safety concerns regarding teleporters as explained in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQHBAdShgYI ::: spoiler spoiler I wouldn't, because the person that reappears aint me, its a fucking clone. Teleporters are murder machines. Star Trek is a silent massacre! :::
I was about to just ask "What are some of your favorite music?" but then I realized some of you are gonna start naming those popular celebrity-singer songs which isn't what I'm looking for. Because I find that songs that are part of other forms of media such as Movies and TV shows are really some of the highest of quality. My Favorite ones (that I can remember, I'm sure there are good ones that I forgot about): The Main Theme of The Expanse (TV) https://youtu.be/5Y4wuVfV5G4 The Main Theme of Interstellar (Movie) https://youtu.be/kpz8lpoLvrA The Main Theme of Terminator 2 (Movie) https://youtu.be/1XblVVbqIHU Baba Yetu - The Menu Theme of Sid Meier's Civilization IV (Video Game) https://youtu.be/IJiHDmyhE1A Sogno di Volare - The Menu Theme of Sid Meier's Civilization VI (Video Game) https://youtu.be/WQYN2P3E06s Main Theme of FTL: Faster than Light (Video Game) https://youtu.be/VJ817kvh_DM Field of Hope and Dreams - Deltarune (Video Game) https://youtu.be/PhhGEA_317w Megalovania - Undertale (Video Game) https://youtu.be/0FCvzsVlXpQ The Opening Credits of Detroit: Become Human (Video Game) https://youtu.be/eZTasD9YzAo The Main Theme of Game of Thrones (TV) https://youtu.be/s7L2PVdrb_8 (We don't talk about season 8 here :( The Main Theme of Sucession (TV) https://youtu.be/77PsqaWzwG0 (Honestly, I didn't even finish the first season and kinda got bored, but the theme music was memorable for some reason) That's my list of the music I can remember from the top of my head, what's on your list?

Before you tell me to touch grass, grass is kinda illegal here in the US (if you know what I mean by "grass" 😉).
Okay so for context: I've never really downloaded movies right after release, the movies that I've downloaded were all released at least few months before the time of download, so I don't know how movies releases work. So when a movie is released, how long does it take for there to be a high-quality pirated version of it? I can't seem to find the movie on an online platform even if I were to pay for it. Are movies exclusive to an actual theater when they first get released? Right now I'm searching for that movie that was just released and all I find is HDCAMs. Does this mean that someone just secretly recorded it in a theater? Oh btw, the movie I'm talking about is about a scientist that was involved in (at the time) a secret government weapons program during WW2. The movie was released very recently. (Hey, I didn't mentioned the name of the movie, I hope I'm not breaking the rules 😉)
Who determines who owns a domain name? International organization? Do unrecognized countries also get their own top-level domain? If someone or some organization wanted to register a website for highly illegal activities (terrorism, crime organizations, etc) who has the authority to shut them down? Does one government has the authority, or does it require a majority of the countries? What if, say, North Korea hosted a website advocating terrorism? Who can take that down?

I mean, a state that is forseeing a election which an opponent party will likely win, could just pass a law *before* the election that says "The state legislature shall have the sole authority of appointing electors to the electoral college for elections of president and vice president" and if they have an already gerrymandered state legislature, they could cling to power with like 40%, or maybe even less, of the votes and have a trifecta in the state, electoral votes are practically permanently voting for the party. They could even change how governors are selected by making them to also be appointed by legislature, further solidifying their power. Why haven't some states just gone full authoritarian? I mean, the federal government couldn't do anything about such states if this were to happen, due to federalism.
