  • Fears that content covering Palestine protests could be incorrectly removed as platforms are incentivised to censor content not protect freedom of expression
  • Clarification needed over how platforms define ‘support’ for Palestine Action
  • British public have no independent mechanism to challenge wrongful takedowns
 

A man described by Sky as a "top level" pirate has agreed to pay the broadcaster €480,000 in damages. Sky's investigation of David Dunbar reportedly began on social media last November, but soon benefited from a timely anonymous tip from another country. In May 2025, Sky obtained a court order to secure evidence from Dunbar's home, but that didn't go according to plan. After being denied access to the premises, evidence was destroyed and funds were "dissipated".

There you go, straight from FHMY: https://rentry.co/NSFW-Checkpoint

But posting like this, just to air your problems, isn't fit.

Where exactly did I "air" my "problems"

[–] Pro@programming.dev -2 points 2 months ago

WOW

I can't tell if you are trolling me or not.

I'm done here.

Me too brother, me too.

If nothing else, this belongs in Chat, not Technology.

Nope.

Having your feelings hurt by people disagreeing with you suggests little online exposure. But you're frankly talking about an industry you have no knowledge of.

What what you are talking about, bro.

Your comment summary is just you repeating that I know nothing about the industry.

Today the whole beehaw technology community had only 2 new posts posted in the previous 24 hours. If my post bothered you that much, I guess you reflecting on yourself on your comment.

First, deleting a repost is clearly not evidence of any kind of bias.

That is not a repost, this is an other article from ProPublica: https://www.propublica.org/article/inside-ai-tool-doge-veterans-affairs-contracts-sahil-lavingia

Second, maybe Ars is just more popular/trusted? Maybe it's more upvoted because the Ars title is more meaningful, it's super well known that people mostly only read the title.

Are you joking with me? They are using a paraphrased title.

I'm not saying reddit isn't manipulating things, I'd be shocked if they weren't. But this isn't really evidence that they are.

I am really curious, what sort of evidence you want/expect to see?

ProPublica used Original custom made cover photo+ they did the whole investigation.

Ars Technica used stock photo and paraphrased some of the info.

Despite that, the undeleted ProPublica post got about 80 Upvotes in 3 hours. The Ars Technica one got about 120 in about 50 mins.

As I said before: The Ars Technica post is expected to hit the front page, while the ProPublica ones are expected to die, despite being the original source of the info.
