Can you point me to a source on how Giuliani "meaningfully facilitated illegal insurrection against a peaceful transition"?

I can't name democrats who facilitated ilegal insurrection in regards to this past election, but I can name democrats who facilitated illegal insurrection against their own communities after the George Floyd incident. The democrats who refused to call out rioting and looting (as a separate incident from the peaceful protesting), those who called for the short-sighted defunding of police departments in cities with high crime (look up the uptick in shootings and murder in NYC after the city removed $1 billion from the police department) have meaningfully facilitated illegal insurrection in their own communities, in my opinion.

I agree that Bannon does make egregious comments, but I tend to think the media blows his comments out of proportion. Due to his military background, he often uses war analogies, which make for the detestable quotes you mention. For example, in the Fauci "head-on-a-pike" comment that he made, it was clear to me that he was not suggesting for folks to literally murder Fauci. He was suggesting for an example to be made out of Fauci by removing him from power. It's similar to when athletes say they want to "kill" the opposing teams. Regardless of this, I agree with you that comments such as the one I mentioned are in bad taste.

On the other hand, left-leaning celebrities who posted picture depicting Trunp's dead body (e.g. Snoop Dogg) did not seem to face similar consequences from big tech.

I'm not in the US, and I haven't visited the country in a very long time. But I'm casually curious about all of this, and have looked at US media.

You are absolutely right that CNN is biased. They clearly are not trying to make it seem as though they aren't. The same with Fox, who are equally biased. However, only only of those outlets lets their reporters outright lie.

Now, it may be that I'm looking in the wrong places, but if I were to see lies on CNN in the same way as I see it on Fox, I'll be happy to change my mind, but right now I think it's pretty clear which one needs to be curbed.

Fox also allows comments on their stories. A lot of the real hateful stuff can be found there, and section 230 allows Fox to wash their hands of that. Perhaps Trump was on to something when he was campaigning to have it revoked? (the last part is sarcasm, of course).

Edit note: (this post has been downvoted into oblivion. I honestly have no idea which "side" have been doing the downvoting. I wonder if it's because the downvoters misunderstood what I was saying, or if they did understand and simply disagree)
What about wide adoption of "social recovery digital identities"? It should be possible to create an online identity that is vouched for by other users in the (decentralised) system. You could then tie your digital wallet to this, but also other less critical online assets like your Twitter account.

Most attacks against this system could be mitigated by having time-locks on the various assets which begin when the recovery process is started. In particular, if some of your friends are tricked into starting the recovery process, that should be published somewhere (in a pseudonymised form) so you can intervene and get them to stop before the time-lock opens.

It's even worse than that: At least one analysis has shown that Fox News viewers were worse informed than people who don't consume any news at all.

IOW, Fox (and to a lesser extent, MSNBC) has negative information value.
The reasons behind the creation of Scrum and the reasons behind the adoption of Scrum are different.

Plus, most implementations of Scrum are bullshit. Scrum does not recognize the role of a "project manager". There's the product owner, the scrum master and the development team. That's all.

The scrum master only exists to guarantee the process is followed. The scrum master is just a scrum evangelist, not a real leader.
That is a company problem, not a Jira problem. (A very common company problem, and quite likely the underlying cause of a lot of people's Jira problems.)
Are you seriously suggesting that Trump & co are in that league??

If so, can you lay out the case for me? Even just a few links for me to check out would be good. Comments like yours, here on HN, would lead me to the conclusion that Trump is the most dangerous leader to come along since the bad old days of the 20th century. And I just don't see it.

But you can't compare people committing act of violence to perpatuate a lie at the greater expense of society to people protesting for civil rights.

Sometimes it goes even better: "it's not our fault that we have to do more political persecution and violence than in the Western countries. it's just that Russians are a lot smarter than Westerners so what can be easily done in the West by simple brainwashing through media, doesn't quite work here and has to be augmented by force"
We've run into the same problem. What's made this a particularly hard problem for us to address is that the intentions of involved parties are usually aligned with the best interests of the business in the short term despite being misaligned (and detrimental) over the medium and long term. In discussion it's clear that both parties are doing what they believe is right for the company, but their level and responsibilities might inadvertently encourage them to optimize for the short term. The ensuing conversation is usually a tight rope walk between trying to get both parties to understand short term vs long term outcomes and consequences while encouraging them to continue to execute on what they believe is right for the company.

What's worked for us is to not restrict communication, but to hold our engineers accountable to what they say they'll get done and when. If something slips and it's not for a technical or personal reason (i.e. some risk materializing or needing to take unplanned time off), but rather because someone floated in and asked for something that wasn't scoped in, that comes up in a review and reflects poorly on the engineer and the asking party. On the other hand, if the engineer is able to get all of their scoped work done and also get the unplanned work done, that reflects well on the engineer and potentially the asking party. In our experience, approaching these situations in this way also has the benefit of preserving and encouraging individual autonomy.

> we cant let media/twitter/social media/ state actors amplify this.

I'd strongly suggest taking a harder look at the systems like HN, and consider how-- for example-- the posting speed it encourages works against you in this respect.

E.g., what made you write "equivalent person on the left" since that turns out not to be a relevant detail to you?

I think the system here-- like Twitter et al-- encourages posting too quickly in this context. Sure, it works great if I'm just complaining from memory about the SVG spec or something. If I get it wrong, someone will call out the error and I can double-check the spec and confirm the mistake.

But it's a royally bad idea wrt large political issues like this one. Instead, the entire system should go slower in general, encouraging one to reflect on their current knowledge and current blind spots before finalizing a post. That process could even be piecemeal over the period of days. A UI could easily be designed that makes it an enjoyable process to slowly build a post out of more meaningful little "lego-like" blocks.

To me there's a frightening disconnect here on HN. A significant portion of the users know about or perhaps even work on dark patterns like recommendation algos where one can fairly accurately predict the number of users who will fall down into conspiracy rabbit holes. Yet with HN's opaque posting/sorting/scoring system that knowledge goes down the memory hole; for some reason "personal responsibility" always seems to stand in for any serious attempt at analyzing the system.

So hard to believe, or many it is totally likely this type of interactivity was lost in time: I was director of research at a dotcom era live video broadcaster named Rotor Communications. We were doing one to many live broadcasts with interactivity back in '99. Beyond chats independent of the video, there were interactive elements (surveys, choice selections) presented and their responses could be used by hosts, often the purpose of the shows. We had universities using it for online lectures back then, we had game shows and pop music talk shows on the general internet too. Then, of course the dotcom bust blew it all away.
Why after all these years is something like this not in every teleconference application? Why can't one give an interactive power point presentation with questions the participants privately answer, tabulated on the fly for the speaker?
Not from US but my opinion, we need more powerful communication tool than that exists today.

Usually it is recommended that for complex and emotional content email/text communication is not good. It should be done in person. In social media complex/emotional things are being discussed in text form which causes more rift. So we need better tools video/animation/pictures to discuss things that are being discussed in social media. These better tools should be easy to use for common person to use and communicate.

I think banning things temporarily to finish Biden take presidency seems OK to me. But banning permanently means we are failing with arguments to win over people.

Opposing violence permanently seems OK to me, but then a law should be made for it and not left for individual company.

It will be also good to have a tool, which for any argument gives all the assumption being made. Such a tool can also help in communicating better.

In short we need better communication tools and better laws.

We're entitled to an attorney when defending ourselves from criminal prosecution, but where does it say we're entitled to legal counsel at any other time?

At the end of the day Law Firms are businesses, and again these are just businesses protecting their own self interests.

If they end up needing legal counsel for a criminal trial they'll receive it. Otherwise they can just grab a phonebook and start calling ambulance chasers until they find one who will meet their other legal needs.

Guiliani said: "Believe me, Trump people were not scaling the wall. So there's nothing to it that he incited anything."

That's not an opinion, it's a statement of fact whose truth can be evaluated. About the only thing that is even slightly ambiguous is how you define "Trump people", but given that essentially every person that has been identified in the insurrection has been shown to have documented pro-Trump views, what else would you call them?

So what about this statement isn't provably false to you?

Right, so if you wanted to decimate Big Tech companies (or possibly the economic and cultural advantage of the US in general) this is actually a clever policy change with plausible deniability. Also, to use an analogy, it's a hook which is easy to bait in a way that a narcissistic national leader will be keen to swallow it.
Try google voice.
It's also worth pointing out that a lot of Nazi ideas about race and social organization came from America. Not all, but enough to make most modern Americans uncomfortable. America had a sizable Nazi party, and eugenics was a hugely popular movement before the Nazis really highlighted the severe downsides of that ideology.

America also turned away a lot of Jewish refugees for similar reasons. Most of the ended up victims of the Holocaust. It's only after the war that the "we had to fight this great, singular evil" emerged.

> According to what the companies say:

> - The President incited some people last week to engage in violent behavior at and towards Congress.

No, the actual words he said and tweeted did not suggest violence. "Going over to the Capitol" and "I won't attend the Jan. 20 ceremony" are not calls to violence.

> - There is evidence that further violence is being planned via a variety of platforms.

What evidence?

> - The platforms are attempting to limit their exposure to facilitating such actions.

Based on what facts?

> Some people think that the companies have ulterior motives. I will leave it to you to decide what you think the real reasons are.

SV tech giants spent around $1 billion on the 2020 election to elect Democrats. GA alone was over $200 million for 2 senators. It's not ulterior at all, it's very clear.
System programs can be in user space for instance a run time for another language.

Assuming he's still alive and mobile in 2024. Given his diet that's an assumption I'm not comfortable making.

> These companies like Twitter, FB, etc are finished if he runs in 2024 and wins.

I don't think he can EO his way into killing SV. Sometimes people need to be reminded that the USA is a democracy, not a monarchy, and any president doesn't have the power to unilaterally dead companies that prop up Wall Street earnings. Nor would they given the bloodbath that would occur on the markets as a result of a move like that.

> This economy is going down the shitter real quick.

Primarily due to the impact COVID has had on the US economy, right? Trump is still in office, right? I don't think you can blame Biden on Trump's economic woes due to his COVID response. If Trump would have shown some leadership in that space I expect he would have won the election. Thankfully that didn't occur.
