That's not the case.

So Microsoft lost the source code? Or maybe the engineer couldn't be bothered to set up the old toolchain used to build this executable?

I'm a Christian and I feel this is a cheap shot. I believe this to be malicious, especially coming from Google. Could even be some kind of inside joke.

So if they don't rectify it, it's because there's intent.

I would like to see a fair referendum about net neutrality. And by fair I mean to also see the good parts of not having net neutrality, like zero rating.

Tell people they can get zero rating on their favourite services, and the result of such a referendum will be uncomfortable for many.

I'm really tired of seeing people everywhere thinking net neutrality is "unquestionable", "universally good" and "the will of the people". Ever bothered to ask anyone outside the tech circles? Or you simply think you know what's best for everybody?

This would be really neat. Thing is, as far as I remember, notepad.exe uses a standard Windows control to display text, so that change would have to be system-wide as well, which could break backwards compatibility.

They are so big on net neutrality and whatever, they can't do that.

So what? We have hate speech laws in Europe. Try saying "the holocaust never happened" or "homosexuals are vile creatures" and you will see what can happen to you. There's no free speech in Europe anyway.

We should abolish prisons then? It's a ridiculous argument. Abuses can happen with full backing of the courts, but I expect them to not happen.

In all the years that this system has been in place in Spain I have never seen it used for anything other than blocking websites that were in breach of the law.

>To give a recent example, independence-related websites were blocked in Catalunya just weeks ago.

That required judicial authorisation. Good way of beginning a post, with a lie.
