④ 52901 , 9:26 PM reddit.com 0o0 AT&T LTE Gawker Media has updated their privacy policy. They say it will go into effect early next year. That's the same time the FTC is releasing their guidance on affiliate links. The same updated guidance that GamerGate was instrumental in bringing about Here is a summary of the changes: "Hi Kinja Users! For the first time in several years, we've updated our Privacy Policy. While we're not legally obligated, it's our intention to highlight the changes - most of which are clarifications to help you better understand how our Services work. The major edits are Updated to be even more clear that our sites (as most sites do these days) enable certain third parties to collect information (see paragraph 1 of the new policy) Addressed embedded content from other content providers (again, have a look at paragraph 1 of the new policy) Updated to explain and clarify the use of cookies (see paragraph 1) Explained that we may use affiliate advertising and may earn commissions for purchases that users make from those affiliates (see paragraph 2) Addressed contests, sweepstakes, and promotions here as well as in our standalone Contest Guidelines (see paragraph 4) Clarified how we protect information if the law requires us to disclose it (see paragraph 5) The new policy goes into effect January 19, 2015. Be sure to check back periodically for updates." I like "While we are not legally obligated..." the best. Also, "check back periodically for updates." I assure you, we will Gawker owner Nick Denton would probably rather drink poison that admit this, but there is no way on earth this is not related to the work GamerGate has done through Operation UV with the FTC Here are archived links about the new policy for Gawker Media The summary of changes: https://archive.today/5DrST The new privacy policy https://archive.today/juL6g Also, in case you missed it, it looks like Kotaku is now putting in

_"*I guess i had to do it if only because people are expecting me to do it. I didn’t even remember this was a thing till yesterday XD*"_ Had to add this because I thought that ppl would actually click the source link and look at the description after all this time
Like...is there any solution to this? Should we start something?

X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26

Are we allowed to celebrate? 'cus I'm gonna celebrate

And before somebody starts saying"we can't celebrate yet, there's a long way to go," just let us have fun once. This is a pretty major blow that came as a direct result of GG. I say we should be allowed to live a little, if only just this once.
