What? This is about forcing google to pay to use Canadian news in search results because they are making money off ads in the search.

Now they are mad that google decides not to use those Canadian news sources in their search results anymore.

If the "harm" was using the content (and thereby taking money that would have gone to those news sources) why would not using it be bad?

Not configurable in the Home edition, but it's there. Microsoft calls it "Device Encryption" under the Settings menu. Only appears if you have a computer which is a candidate for what they call "Automatic Encryption."

Difference between Home and Pro is Home doesn't give you the option to save the key or use USB Authentication. Must go to the Microsoft account.

The crazy thing is there is absolutely no reason to change it.

You can make additions without taking out the old. Like being able to switch back to windows 10 view and putting in a new one.

They keep trying to force this on us for no reason.

Windows we really don't want it, just stop.

Which is crazy. That is lke having a law that mandates YouTube reviewers use copyrighted content from the media they are reviewing and pay for it because those reviewers are making money on the content they are reviewing.

Or even more accurate, not reviewing media you don't have permission to use copyrighted content is not allowed and you are forced to pay to review media you don't even want to review.

People fear the unknown, and these software applications are new, but the problems they highlight are age old.

We allow people to raise their children to be 'antisocial' to those far outside their cultures simply by making them good citizens within their own. And when they grow up and away from their home cultures, they often act offensively to those of other cultures, which becomes a problem. The Internet has allowed people from many different subcultures to mix, and social networks are considered disasters for it. This is just another level of homogenization. As they say, "You cannot make an omelette without breaking some eggs." One way to solve it is to just shut it all down. Who is for that?

That response doesn’t really make sense to me because a person using a search engine is searching for something.

To the extent they are looking for news, they just already know about it so it suggests they are looking for further reading. You wouldn’t search for headlines about something you already know of surely?

If they don’t click through it must not have been of interest?

It seems to me that if they were going to have to pay for the item merely being listed, irrespective of if someone interacted with it, then if I was google I simply wouldn’t show that content in search results either.

Now if google was summarising the content beyond just the headline - I would agree with you. They should pay because they are taking the content and summarising it so a person wouldnt need to read it. But that doesn’t seem to be the case?

Facebook and reddit is a little different because unlike google there is an interactive forum. So the comments usually do summarise the content.
