They've designed their platform so that you can outsource different aspects to different servers. So you can choose a moderator who curates your experience and that's a different person from who hosts your data, which may be different to who sorts and determines the 'top posts'.

I'm not sure that math works? They earned $460M in profit for Q1, so that's about $1.84B in profit over a year. Divide that by 39 million people in Canada and you have $47 per person, which is nowhere near $300 per person plus $1B.
Still obscene profit margins, but let's do the math correctly.
Looks like Microsoft needs to further enhance the consumer experience by adding more personalized product recommendations, that'll fix it right up!
I mean the sale agreement could require the buyer to never expand outside the US.
Rape then? Lots of animals rape and humans do so too. It's 'natural' but barbaric.
I'm not in the EU but I got captchaed too.
Just because something is natural doesn't mean it isn't barbaric. Male lions will regularly kill cubs to make the mother ready for sex - that's natural but we'd never accept (correctly) a human doing that.
Ever watch an extra wide screen film? That black bar above and below licensed content is the perfect place to inform you about exciting products and opportunities!
Did you know that your eyes only look at one spot at a time? Our customer optimizers are working hard to design a system to use AI to identify this spot in every frame, so that we can fill the rest of the screen with even more consumer opportunities! This applies to audio gaps too - we'll fill in those awkward silences with exclusive content!

Imagine you're playing Skyrim and while reading one of the books your TV covers up the content with an ad! That would be infuriating!
Are you talking about Biden's efforts specifically or more generally? Because Biden is constrained by:
- Having to act in the framework of what existing laws let him do as Congress won't pass anything.
- Most colleges are regulated by individual states and the federal government's power to regulate them is very limited.
They also believe we (Arch users) are unaffected because this backdoor targeted Debian and Redhat type packaging specifically and also relied on a certain SSH configuration Arch doesn't use. To be honest while it's nice to know we're unaffected, it's not at all comforting that had the exploiter targeted Arch they would have succeeded. Just yesterday I was talking to someone about how much I love rolling release distros and now I'm feeling insecure about it.

I'm going to be more sympathetic for the developers which is that they likely spent a ton of money for the land already when prices were high and after expensive building costs they're struggling to not lose money.
