I have this online female friend and we have been friends for almost 4 years now. We met in an online game. She's the one who asked my social media ID so we can play together. And she seems to have done to a lot of people as well. So she was kinda collecting a lot of friends. Have seen people get nto her lobbies and say "Thank you so much for listening to me the other day," "You are really a kind person" and so on. There was this one guy used to address her as his "bi*ch". At this I thought they were a couple but apparently they met on the game and known eachother for only a few months and were just friends.

She used to text me first whenever she was about to play. And used to check on me if I hadn't appeared on the game for a week or two.

Later we got close. I stopped gaming but she still plays other games. But after I got close, she stopped texting me first. Only would chat with me if I texted her first. I asked her why she never texts me about anything. She goes "Uhh I am not that type to text people first" "I never do that to anyone" "I think you're just busy" and so on.

So all this weird behaviour had me thinking why she is doing all this? What are her motives? What kind of person is she?

I did ask her these questions many times but only got vague answers. She also never gives anything about her other online friends and usually becomes defensive when I bring them up in a conversation.

Chinese buyers booked at least 10 cargoes of Argentine soybeans after Buenos Aires scrapped grain export taxes, three traders said on Tuesday, dealing another setback to U.S. farmers already shut out of their top market and hit by low prices.

[In my opinion, this is an outstanding article, even if a bit long.]

No matter how odious one’s ideas, eliminating an opponent in an act of violence does nothing to advance the cause of justice. It sets back every effort to win public opinion to defend democracy, which is preferable to any kind of dictatorial rule. Those who celebrate Kirk’s death play straight into the hands of the forces of reaction who are doing everything in their power to strip working people of our right to express ourselves freely and to organize to defend our interests.

I am out of the loop. How did today become rapture day? I am having family members being silly about this. How did this even start?

The Wikipedia article says Cloudflare has been used to host hate speech, websites with illegal content and forums connected to all sorts of illegal activities. And I see them being used by a lot of decent webservices but shady ones as well.

So my question, can Cloudflare be used for something alike "bulletproof hosting"? Does anyone know if they collaborate with law enforcement or care once someone sends a mail to the abuse contact? Or if there's a way to find information about a Cloudflare protected server for the public?

Hypothetical question, I'm just curious and I thought maybe someone here has first-hand experience with getting their account terminated or reporting content or doing piracy via them or whatever...

Full Letter.

Google also admitted the following to the House Judiciary Committee:

  1. The Biden Administration pressured Google to censor Americans and remove content that did not violate YouTube's policies.
  2. The Biden Administration censorship pressure was "unacceptable and wrong."
  3. Public debate should never come at the expense of relying "authorities."
  4. The company will never use third-party "fact-checkers."
  5. Europe's censorship laws target American companies and threaten American speech, including the removal of "lawful content."
