Ah yes, the cherry-pick and ad hominem.

The previous several paragraphs were more concerning.

For example:

MintPress News said it was a for-profit “regular news organization,” with an initial business plan where advertising revenues would exceed costs after three years.[12] MintPress’s anonymous investors were originally intended to fund MintPress operations until 2015.[2] The editor had investors, who Muhawesh claimed were “retired businesspeople”, but she would not name them, a situation MinnPost said was “unfortunate for a journalism operation fighting alongside people seeking transparency. The site’s ‘About Us’ page is similarly skinny.”[12]

The irony of your insinuating I don’t check my sources when my comment is about precisely that is both amusing and disheartening. Shouldn’t we all exercise this caution?

This seems like good reporting, and there is literally 0 coverage from this angle elsewhere that I could find.

For what it’s worth, I’ve been to Palestine and inevitably Israel. I have lobbied my congressional representatives to cease support for Israel. I voted “ceasefire” in the Democratic primary. But because I happen to think the source you chose is questionable and come from a different instance, I must support the apartheid regime.

And indeed I chose .world in the reddit API migration when .ml was actively encouraging sign ups on other instances, please forgive my terrible oversight.

I hope you have a better day.


The last time this was posted it didn’t have the link and was taken down.

This source has a seriously questionable objective to say the least.

I’m cool with critique of this acquisition, but I’d love to see it verified by a more reputable source.



These are absolutely reasonable criticisms.

But Mozilla is better that the big G in this respect, and fastly is at least attempting to do something. So for that, I give them kudos. Especially on the heels of the Encrypted Hello announcement.
