Good point. Some people say words don't matter as long as we know what people reeeeeeeeeeeallly mean, as well as the "sticks and stones" defence against words some people are offended with, and that language usage changes over time. Others say words matter because it's how we express and...

The official "wanted" notice from TPS - interesting the courts have allowed release of a photo of the chap from when he was dinged as a young offender ... TPS statement also archived here & attached. Tick, tick, tick ...

Like India and USSR 2.0 I guess - outsourcing so they don't have to have as many of their own organic assets out there. Thanks for more of the REST of the story.

The "hundreds" I've read about include both hard-core directly-linked regime figures, as well as supporters, "wanna be's" and "hangers on." If I had to bet a speculative loonie, the chances of a truly high-end connected IRN official doing this is slim (although all those f@#$%^&*kers should be...

Bold choice of verb right there.

I think at least some of it was the principle of any given government coming up with values. I’m guessing those who liked Harper’s idea wouldn’t be so enamoured of any such plan from a Team Red government - or, heaven forbid, Team Orange if that ever happened.

Not to mention the whole "I less likely to search if it might lead to a result I disagree with" thing one gets with search engines as well ;) Meanwhile, something else to consider along these lines: https://studyfinds.com/ai-fact-checking-trust/ Full study here and attached.
