Extremists? Is that what you call anyone who isn't a sexist like you? And what does SRS have to do with anything? I left reddit to get away from the r/mensrights freaks like you so you might want to keep your bullshit there.

Only because Medium hasn't accumulate‎d enough free content yet to disclose how they are planning on appropriating and monetizing it.

Don't forget Medium is brought to us from the makers of Twitter, with such classics as "Here's an API; get the fuck off of my API."

This already exists. It's called a taxi company.

If you're working as a company representative, either in retail or customer service or answering the NSA hotline, then listening to questions and complaints is exactly what you were hired to do. If you take those complaints personal then you should find another line of work.

Talk about smugness.

>Opinions are just that - opinions.

Except when they're not in line with yours apparently. wow.

>That Twitter would hand over your identifying information because they don't like the contents of your tweets?

Twitter refused to hand over the data until the French court forced them to.

>The idea that governments can prohibit the written expression of thoughts and ideas?

I have no problem with governments prohibiting hate speech. I have never felt suppressed by these laws because I have never felt the need to express hate speech online or offline.

> "But others who have just as much rights as you and do want to send out distasteful tweets DO feel suppressed."

Good. The majority of people in my country agree that living in a respectful society is more important than having the freedom to say things that you wouldn't want to say. You can find that overly restrictive but then so are traffic lights, queues at the supermarket, clothing, and doors.

>Or was it the distasteful tweets of some bigots (or perhaps more likely, just unfunny and immature people) about the jews?

That's just being willfully ignorant.

We switched from Linode to http://www.cloudvps.com last year because they are in my home town here in The Netherlands and the prices are almost half of Linode's. We have some high traffic websites running with them and have had no problems so far.

According to their latest tax returns Facebook and Apple have a net loss in the US so if anything they should pay the government a commission for sending customers to their more profitable offices in Ireland and the Caribbean.

I don't believe ideas are inherently good or bad. A lot also depends on timing and execution. Twitter turned out to be a great idea, but I don't think there are many people who could have pulled it off the way Jack Dorsey and his cohorts did.
