That quotation and the other one in the article seem to be from comments on the social media posts, not comments from people actually on the cliff.

Fair point, but we should celebrate any privacy wins we can get. That privacy is a consideration at all is a good start.

It's complicated and the implications and scope are not entirely clear.

The court stated that creative works such as web design qualify as a form of speech, and that the first amendment does not allow the government to use law to force creators to speak any message — especially one with which they disagree. Essentially, any business with something that might be considered speech as its product or service may be free to discriminate against protected classes. We aren't sure how far this will extend in practice, but I expect many will test it.

In this case of this post, it depends on what is being sold.

Edit: wrote this before my coffee and thus neglected to point out what replies said: political affiliation is not a protected class in America and these signs are a bit misleading. See replies.

Kbin is barely a prototype, so I wouldn't say it has a real approach to the UI. It's about to go through a lot of change as contributors begin working on a more thoughtfully designed UI. Many basics are not even implemented in its current state, so expect it to change a lot. Also third-party apps will start showing up once an API is added.

That is, check on it again in a few weeks.
