The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

SPLC A Hate Organization?


For John, BLUFSomeone suggested they are a money skimming scam.  Nothing to see here; just move along.




From The Washington Examiner, by Reporter Becket Adams, 28 February 2018.

Here is the lede plus one:

YouTube has tapped the Southern Poverty Law Center to help it police objectionable content, according to the Daily Caller.

Hopefully, this isn't true.  But if it is, it's a disaster.  YouTube couldn't have chosen a worse or less trustworthy partner.

The SPLC is a dishonest, irresponsible and obnoxiously partisan organization.  Trusting them to decide what constitutes objectionable and “extremist” content, as YouTube’s more than 100 “Trusted Flaggers” have been asked to do, is like asking the inmates to run the asylum.

Here is an important and SPLC condemning paragraph from the article.  Anyone who would condemn Ms Ayaan Hirsi Ali is clueless.  They are especially clueless if they don't mention that her partner in a filming project, Mr Theo van Gogh was brutally murdered on a public street in the Netherlands, by a run amok Muslim.

In 2015, for example. the group caught well-deserved criticism after it put Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson on its “extremist watch list,” citing the one-time presidential candidate’s “anti-LGBT views.”  Later, in 2016, the SPLC labeled women’s rights activist, female genital mutilation victim, atheist, and ex-Muslim Ayaan Hirsi Ali an “anti-Muslim extremist” because she opposes Islamic extremism.  The British activist and extremist-turned-counter-extremist Maajid Nawaz was placed in the same category.
The SPLC is an ugly institution, honored by the mainstream media.  Disgusting.
