Canada demands Meta lift news ban to allow wildfire info sharing
Meta started blocking news on its Facebook and Instagram platforms for all users in Canada this month in response to a new law requiring internet giants to pay for news articles.
Look, I hate Facebook as much as the next guy but you have to admit, Canada doesn't have much to bitch about. They did this to themselves.
Facebook doesn't want to pay for news articles so they decided not to have news at all. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Reddit keeps undeleting my account and posts. Is there anything I can do as an American Citizen?
I think people may need to wait. Here's what I've read and seen myself so far:
You can only edit/delete so many comments as it seems reddit only indexes the last 1000. After editing/deleting everything you can, you can see you still have unedited/undeleted comments by searching your username like: site:reddit.com "usernameHere". I saw plenty of comments going back years (I have a 14yr old account) that I wasn't able to touch.
The strategy seems to be to be requesting your data from reddit and then use the comment ids contained in that export to target them for edits/deletes via the API, assuming it's still usable for small scripts like the ones we want to use.
We're tracking our requested/received dates in this thread if you're interested in adding yours to the list.

Reddit’s golden geese foul up its IPO plans
The ongoing strike, spurred by Huffman’s plan to charge fees to third-party apps that serve up Reddit content, was supposed to last for 48 hours.
Not just charge fees... Exorbitant fees. Outrageous fees.
If Huffman wanted to target these much higher costs to LLMs, they could have instituted an approval process for 3PAs which got charged sane API fees while they charge much more for LLMs. I'm no dev but I think they could tell the difference between the two by just analyzing the API traffic.
But they aren't doing that. Maybe LLMs were the primary target but they sure aren't even trying to keep 3PAs around.

Lol how is that unconscious? It’s a deliberate policy decision to exclude people of a certain skin color.

Those people need to pull their head out.
It should be on the government to post this information on a public government website. It should be on the people to go read it.
I do believe governments should be looking at alternative alerting options though. They should take the recent API rate hikes by Twitter as a bright red warning that they should never have relied on private companies like this for important alerts.

I've been wondering if Reddit has been fucking with stuff just since the API stuff started. This is a data point indicating yes.

Yep. Everyone in the thread asking this question seems clueless to me. Macros are already a threat. I can’t imagine what a shitshow full on python would be.
