I did once recommend dropping a frog into the Christmas punch of a popular journalist on a social media site.
The algorithm picked up the word "punch" and I was banned for a day.
It takes a little skill to word things in a manner that will not get the pearl clutching algorithms from taking things out of context.
(For those not in the know "punch" is a drink)

It's about all that a company can do to adhere to EU law; some stuff needs to be removed in 24hrs. You should complain, because it makes you feel better, but don't expect any changes.

Wow.. an informative an answer regarding this question!
Not that I had bad expectation of the CodeProject crowd, on the contrary, but it's just that I don't think there was much to say!
Thanks man!

So the bad guys surrendered their guns? Since you can't own a gun for reasons of self defense, how do Aussies protect themselves in the face of imminent danger?

For the run of the mill Aussie the "imminent danger" also does not carry a gun, this does preclude the criminal/gang elements who are thoroughly weponised. Some areas are setting up vigilante groups to protect themselves against youth crime gangs.

It's why I rather be a surfie than swim in the ocean.
You can't outswim a rip, that's where then most death occur in Australia, drowning out of exhaustion.
Swim perpendicular to it until you're out of the rip.
But, when you're on your surfboard, you won't be take away by the rip and you can easily come back to the shore or rest.
Other than that, I am not quite what "danger" you're talking about... mmm... But gun don't quite seem necessary...

John Howard?!
I remember a T-shirt or a placard bearing the words “John Hunt is a Coward”!😂😂😂

I don't like him much.. but someone mention recently that he was the one that remove lots of guns from circulation after a mass shooting. Never happen again since then.
So there is that....

Oh, yes, nothing to do with John Howard!

FB pulled a comment of mine after the following exchange:
Anon: "Don't ask me to tell you what I think of the Stone Roses."
Me: "I wouldn't. Ian Brown will come round and punch you out!"
This was (obviously) meant as a joke (he has a bit of a reputation), but the censorship bots clearly have no SOH. To this day, my account still carries a 'warning' status because of it. Well, FB, you can take that and stick it.
Anyway no, I see no mileage in chasing it up. There's a brick wall over there - if you're desperate, you can bang you head on that.

I'm just figuring out all the neat stuff i can do with it. Like octocoupling a circuit to prevent a ground loop, with just a tiny IC chip. =)
Turns out I can build a reliable MIDI breakout without the pain of a non silicon based coupler like they used to use.
I know it's not new tech, but it's new to me, because I'm relatively new to *this*.
I actually picked up circuit building 2 years before I started coding, but once I learned to code I put it down because it was hard to keep myself in materials at such a young age. Software is vapor, once you have the machine.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.
