I wonder what it says about me that I know exactly which ad you're talking about. It was an ad for Juiced, a racing game. I'd link a video of it but this is technically in general rather then a nsfw section.
Bing, indirectly.
Wait, is Bing actually a good search engine? Last I checked it was pretty bad, but I guess I last checked last decade.
These days for most regular/mundane searches Bing is comparable to Google (and honestly most major search engines are comparable in terms of performance). One major edge Bing has over Google though is their NSFW search capabilities (especially as you can fully turn safe search off, unlike with Google despite whatever Google officially claims). The reason for this lies in Bing's long standing unpopularity: because no one uses it, degenerates gravities towards it, knowing that no one's gonna check their bing search histories (this mainly being back in the day when families had to share computers). Also it helps that Bing is much less beholden to ad sponsors than Google, hence their seemingly few fucks given attitude.
I learned something new today. Thanks
Yeah, they really should not be able to just cut people off like that with no prior warning or chance for correction to change the problem. But strongly worded messages probably have been sent to them before by various groups so the instant shutdown at the first excuse is possible if they had the will. Looks like enough people high up had the will at that time.
I can't imagine YouTube pulling a purge on a similar scale... Like it certainly could happen, especially if Google's parent company avoids any sort of credit card system of their own, but I think such a purge would be an incredibly significant event in the history of the internet!
Should we use some archived link instead? I try not to be too paranoid, but I do not want the article to be updated from right under us. I suppose it would also allow people to read it without giving NYT the satisfaction of clicks (for those who care about that), but mainly it might be good to be sure about what was in the original version.
I have heard that in some cases, companies are legally required to follow up with every formal complaint. The threat of a big enough cancelling wave (e.g. some bots maybe) might have so high a monetary cost that a company cannot afford to keep supporting something. Of course, I am no legal professional so anyone more informed is free to come in and declare how wrong I am.
Well here's a snapshot someone else already took of the page. Generally speaking if you have a url from a "news" site you can always put it into an archive site and find an archived version of it already there.
Because Facebook isn't responsible for countless chargebacks from people who don't want to admit that they paid for porn.
Hello Newgrounds!
I hear new grounds got their own version of flash now since that isn't supported anymore
At this rate, O Canada or alternate sources/sauces aside. It's going to at worst, be a potential "guide/strike" moment to go all Darknet, or deep/"local networks" instead, at worst.
