    true the weakening of US net neutrality laws will unlikely materially impact Netflix business or service but we would be where we are today without an open internet the spokesperson wrote.
    Netflix has always been a bit opportunistic about net neutrality and it hard to draw a connection between its growing subscriber count and its dwindling support for open internet policies.
    Last time around during a protest organized by the same group websites including Kickstarter Tumblr and Reddit filled their sites with spinning wheels indicating that they were taking forever to load a statement against the internet fast and slow lanes that losing net neutrality might create.
    As Recode first reported following the incident Alexander obtained her medical records and carted the file around for many months after showing it to a number of executives including Michael and Kalanick.
    is shocking that Travis Kalanick could publicly say that Uber would do everything to support our client and her family in her recovery when he and other executives were reviewing illegally obtained medical records and engaging in offensive and spurious conspiracy theories about the brutal rape she so tragically suffered the attorney Douglas Wigdor said in a statement.
    executives duplicitously and publicly decried the rape expressing sympathy for Plaintiff and shock and regret at the violent attack while privately speculating as outlandish as it is that she had colluded with a rival company to harm business the suit reads.
    Facebook is where people post pictures with their friends get their news form support groups and hold politicians to account.
    What started out as a way for college students in the United States to stay in touch is now used by nearly billion people around the world.
    We debate these questions fiercely and freely inside Facebook every day and with experts from around the world whom we consult for guidance.

    As Tausif Noor has written in an excellent essay on the collateral societal damage of a platform controlling whether we think our friends are safe or not by and institutionally entering into matters Facebook takes on new responsibilities for responding to them.
    While the company likely had the best of intentions in developing the feature which after all grew out of organic site usage following the earthquake and tsunami in Japan the result at this point looks like an insensible that encourages people to overreact to tragic events when the sane and rational response would actually be the opposite stay calm and worry unless you hear otherwise.
    If so Facebook is directly linking its behavioral nudging of users via Safety Check with a revenue generating feature that will let it take a cut of any money raised to help victims of the same tragedies.
    Although academic research finds that the radicalization of members of groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda primarily occurs offline we know that the internet does play a role and we want Facebook to be used for any terrorist activity whatsoever.
