  • No I just said that this policy could be acceptable if it was being implemented as an industry-wide regulation by the state. This would require a non-bourgeois controlled state. Don’t deflect from my point that this is being thrown out by Uber to distract from them failing to respond to user abuse reports and the women have to accept lower quality service (fewer available drivers even if prices are equalized to make up for that by the algo and do we know how their proprietary algo works or will work going forward?) to utilize it.

    Since this is being challenged in courts as OP’s post shows it’s even more of a nothingburger from Uber…


  • I’m not against a policy like this in all cases, because men are obviously going to commit many times more assaults than women. Very controversial take among some but separate male and female spaces should exist, as long as they are part of community resources though, not corporate branding shit, not reactionary political groups (duh, but whatever you guys all have law enforcement infested with this rather than LEO cracking down on it). This is however collective punishment against men who have already been forced into gig work, particularly migrant dudes with families they send money back to (Uber loves taking advantage of dubious situations this is a way that the US exploits third world labor power). What you’re describing is a company famous for doing illegal shit adding a dumb filter instead of actually pursuing harassment and assault reports. Doesn’t that score a point against the policy if they threw it out as a red herring? He’s right that a shitton of marginalized men are catching strays here.

    If you think Uber is this really epic progressive company btw they famously had to delete a post where they used customer data to show how many people experienced a one-off hookup followed by a walk of shame on Valentine’s Day. Doesn’t that just make you so excited? I will be delighted to see what new kinds of eugenics experiments that you let tech companies run on all of you & your families!!!

    Should I even bother raising the question of whether a company ought to dictate social policies like this? Don’t want to trigger too much cognitive dissonance at once. People on here are too fragile. Like lol the implication that men won’t rape other men or it’s not worth considering. Typical. Of course no nonbinary person would rape either. Believable premises.

    Oh and on top of all that, women and “enbies” are supposed to accept worse service for a lower likelihood of being raped. Thank you so much Uber!!! Awesome company!!! Race filter next!!! /s /s /s

    Hell what is even the point of a society where you know that Uber banning a driver is the most punishment the rapist will receive if they’re not brown enough for the cops to give a shit. How the fuck does anyone take this kind of thing seriously from the company that just straight up ignored laws everywhere and got away w it i will never understand





  • Well unfortunately you could never have a giant group chat in Delta currently due to the lack of moderation features. XMPP is better for that. I completely agree though that Delta (and Arcane Chat especially shoutout ADB great guy) has many of the privacy improvements that something like Signal ought to. It’s stupendous for handing limited connectivity, the bots and apps are awesome (better than Matrix by far) and unlike the more commonly promoted alternatives that are dependent on US state dept funding (Signal and Matrix), XMPP and Delta Chat use W3C internet standards

    Although they are trying to get picked up by the EU who are ignoring them 😅 not much better than state dept. Delta is just so interestingg







  • No, he was a competent leader. Why on earth wouldn’t he have counterintelligence operations against the CIA and others? Do you remember what they did to their own citizens during the war “just in case we need to do it to the Soviets and not just black people 😉”. Are you advocating defenselessness against the torture regime of the USA?
