No doubt this is bad.

I wonder how it compares to the rate of growth of false information in traditional news?

I feel like false information masquarading as "news" on social is rapidly increasing (and that rate is accelerating)

Its the same as all the "we are a blockchain company" startups that popped up looking for a problem to solve with their tech rather than the right way round.

However, a lot of those got a bunch of investment or made some decent money in the short term. Very few are still around. We will see the same pattern here.

Ticketek != Ticketmaster.

Tickettek is Australia's largest ticketing company and a competitor to Ticketmaster

Pretty sure they just use Yoti to provide the digital government identity verification. Which is also a reason this is being rolled out in Aus/NZ first where Yoti has a bigger footprint here / working with the govs here.

If google started doing half of what's highlighted here, everyone would be up in arms about them stealing more traffic from the underlying sites.

In Aus there are basically 2 media companies that control the majority of distibutions (News Corp and Nine Entertainment/Fairfax) and with that, they exert a worrying high level of influence on local politics. So this isn't really a fight between our government and google, our government is just being used as a tool. I think there's probably a middle ground that would make both sides happy but unfortunately the media here are able to push the government much harder than they should.

Says a paper owned by Rupert Murdoch's New Corp.... He has been manipulating media longer than any Big Tech.

How is requiring an address equal to extortion? Ultimately any legitimate business SHOULD have a contactable mailing address.

I don't think atom is targeted towards those that are very happy with vim or similar. I'm thinking it's more aimed towards those using sublime or notepad++ or textmate or netbeans or some eclipse based ide.

What I want/need is a more robust system to handle spam/server side validation. i.e. filtering out known bad email addresses or domains, blocking IPs, blocking known spam phrases from text fields, validating selected dates between ranges etc. Any plans for things like that? Also what about email alerts for submissions etc?
