If they removed a book because they didn't like it because it was antisemitic, then it's clear to me that they will most likely do so again in the future for antisemitism and, maybe, for other reasons.

That's what happens with having editorial control: either you play sides (by removing stuff you don't want and maybe pumping up stuff you like[]) or you don't play sides (by publishing the rank without modifying it). And Spiegel is playing sides here.

[]I'm not saying Spiegel has done or will do this, this is just an example.

I disagree that it's misleading, because the reason is not stated.

"Books" may not be correct in this context because it's been a single one thus far, but if another antisemitic book appears, they'd probably delete it too, so I'd argue it sounds more like a norm than a one-off event. By removing a book they didn't like, they opened a can of worms, so to say.

Hot take: I watch almost no HD video, and I practically don't download anything. Why should I have to pay the same money than someone who spends all day streaming 4K Netflix from 5 screens?

"Just buy a lower speed" is not feasible since ISPs keep pushing the lower speed that you can get higher and higher. Overselling. If all you get is fibre, here the minimum is usually 100 Mbps, which I evidently don't need. Same about data caps in mobile connections.

Both are correct. They removed a book they didn't like because they considered it to be anti-semitic. They are not exclusive.

Mass media feels like a direct impediment to democracy. When what they publish consist of the same crap all the time, it may seem as though that stuff carries more weight than it really does.

I wonder to what degree the mass media are responsible for the current political climate.

Also in Spain. Kevin, Joshua, etc automatically mark you as being a gypsy. No Chantal here though, but names like Jennifer or Yolanda are arguably used to that effect too. Very, very surprised though to see this as an international phenomenon.

4 year sentence for weed, I assume it's a huge quantity

The correct answer in SO questions is always the most voted one, not the accepted one. I always check for that. I think I've seen SO recently sort the answers of a certain question by number of votes by default but I might be wrong

I think Xi is not well prepared for urban guerrilla. He'll probably wait this out, get prepared for it, and shut up the protestors once and for all the next time they decide to make noise (maybe in 2-3 years?).

Not everybody agrees with your politics. And not everybody who disagrees with the Western, liberal view of the world has been brainwashed. Maybe those soldiers want one China.

As if a virus really needed administrator access for anything...

Maybe to fuck up your machine... but if they want to snoop on your passwords, encrypt your files, mine bitcoin, participate in a DoS attack... they can do that without elevating

What's your plan to wind down Tumblr?

I see your point, but in this case they are blacklisting domains by hand because of their content, which they don't agree with. And that is very bad. Maybe it was my mistake, thinking that their organic search was holy, which no longer is the case it seems.

So... Google is openly editorialising their results?

They were already doing it with the carousel (google "american inventors") but if they are doing it with what seemingly is the list of organic results this is very, very troubling.
