New PayPal Policy Lets Company Pull $2,500 From Users’ Accounts If They Promote ‘Misinformation’
A new policy update from PayPal will permit the firm to sanction users who advance purported “misinformation” or present risks to user “wellbeing.”
Among the changes are prohibitions on “the sending, posting, or publication of any messages, content, or materials” that “promote misinformation” or “present a risk to user safety or wellbeing.”
Whatever motivation PayPal has for establishing these vague new categories of prohibited expression, they will almost certainly have a severe chilling effect on users’ speech.
The organization has defended clients such as actor and comedian Russell Brand, who recently moved his show from YouTube to Rumble in reaction to censorship from the former platform.
Roughly one-third of Free Speech Union members rely upon PayPal to process their membership dues — although the company gave no explanation to Young for the suspension beyond mentioning a breach of the acceptable use policy.
We’ve seen social media companies use similar policies to stifle free speech on their platforms.

Disclaimer: this may change at any time. This only happened very recently: last I checked months ago, it was still saying it's accessible in Russia. Also a Russian dramanaut said we aren't blocked, but multiple websites that check say we are blocked. He may be using a special setup. He may not. It may be location-specific. rdrama isn't on the Roskomnadzor blacklist.
for rdrama's russia bootlickers 
. That explains why I haven't seen as much Russian bootlicking or @Q recently.
Although rdrama.net isn't listed on the Roskomnadzor blacklist, rdrama's IP addresses are.

Elon Musk suggests making Taiwan a ‘special administrative zone’ similar to Hong Kong
Elon Musk has suggested tensions between China and Taiwan could be resolved by handing over some control of Taiwan to Beijing.
Musk made the suggestion when asked by the newspaper about China, where his Tesla electric car company operates a large factory in Shanghai.
The Shanghai factory accounted for about half of Tesla’s global deliveries last year.
Musk believed that conflict over Taiwan was inevitable, the FT report said, and warned of its potential impact on not only Tesla but also on iPhone maker Apple as well as the wider global economy, which he estimated would take a 30% hit.
Beijing, which says democratically ruled Taiwan is one of its provinces, has long vowed to bring Taiwan under its control and has not ruled out using force.

Papa John's sued for 'wiretap' spying
Papa John's is being sued by a customer – not for its pizza but for allegedly breaking the US Wiretap Act by snooping on the way he browsed the pie-slinger's website.
This software records and phones home everything a user does on the site, beyond what fetching pages and placing an order would submit, we're told.
The case against Papa John's was filed [PDF] this week in a federal district court in southern California.
Papa John's was accused of abusing the "soft opt-in" exemption in Blighty's Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, which states that companies who obtain customer data in the course of a sale can use that data to send marketing messages – but only if they're given an opt-out opportunity first.
As for session replay code, Papa John's would hardly be the first company to be accused in US courts of abusing it.
Could Papa John's have avoided this whole situation?

threadThe CTO of Azure (microsoft garbage) considers C++ deprecated
Joining the club, along with Linus Torvalds. Cool stuff.
Who's gonna tell em? 
What the heck is up with the replies? It feels like the comment section of any Biden tweet except on the tech side - all the crazies come out.
I genuinely think Rust peeps should stay away from these threads. They're full of bad faith arguments, trolls and a lot of people with who you can't reason with in that format.
tfw Rust peeps can't come out of their shell
's refutation:
Every day for Rust I've seen this kind of thing. Every fricking day, and yet people still eat it up. I work in C++ a lot and honestly learned to enjoy it, and I really have little interest in abandoning it. Yes, some if not quite a lot parts of C++ are shit, but because I can accept that many things in life will always have shit, and jumping ship over something being shit only lands me in a different kind of shit. Consider any of my following opinions just 
Rust is, in my opinion, not the ULTIMATE solution, it still has logic errors, it still has panics, it still has issues, it still has int overflows, it also has poor, slow (to compile) implementations (and little documentation on those specifications too, we're all stuck with Clang ), and I'm still a heckin valid conservative on the idea of Third-party package managers.
Despite making up 99% of the software ecosystem, Memory errors make up 60% of all critical vulnerabilities (or some such or whatever etc rust good c and c++ super bad!!)
You want to know the best point that never gets brought up when people say shit like this? It's always the root cause of these memory issues. You know how much fricking C++ code exists out there that's literally just C-style C++ and full of legacy pointers with very little testing? Holy fricking shit, I mean, a good chunk of bad C++ memory errors are just caused by gross, underlying C libraries and fumbling of real pointers. C++cels have had plenty of debugging cowtools for decades now, like Valgrind 
and hundreds of cowtools std::rangeing (
) from smart pointers, std::span, RAII, std::variant, even fricking vectors and std::array with basic fricking overflow detection
please note my opinion is on C++ as a hobbyist language, I'm not 100% talking about C++ for BIPOCs: as for corposhits go I think Rust is a good thing. If someone's gonna shit out code I'd prefer it being working, safe code, and not horribly written C++. But it still won't stop "runtime" bugs and incorrect logic, which is always the cause of those sepples memory issues in the first place.

tech/science swag. 
Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and NOT drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to read them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. This hole is a janny playground, participation implies enthusiastic consent to being janny abused by unstable alcoholic bullies and loser nerds who have nothing better to do than banning you for any reason or no reason whatsoever.
