CBCS Mistakes Printed Defects for Actual Defects

So this is the message I saw when I clicked over to that page...


"The page you requested has been blocked because:

Detected: "f**k porn pornography xxx" in the body."  

Works fine when I use the full link, otherwise the group's front page appears for a second and then the FB "anti-porn" message shows up.

There's another group which is frightening in its desire to control what they see, hear, and read. It's like we have entire generations of people who simply will not tolerate anything but that which reinforces their own views, about anything. "Post the way we want you to post...OR ELSE!!"

It's only going to get worse...

CBCS Website





I see CBCS has taken a page from the CGC playbook. Any reputation-damaging error, or one which hints at larger systemic problems, is simply blamed on 'Data Entry.'

Patient: "You amputated the wrong leg!"

Doctor: "Not our fault, it was a data entry error on the paperwork."

And the "danger" isn't overnight, but incredibly that's part of the problem. I see so many who I question if they truly care about the world they'll someday leave; Not their loved ones, but the World.

Of course. That's why it's so dangerous: they don't recognize the danger, and scoff at those who sound the alarm.

It's C.S. Lewis' quote about tyranny, realized. These people genuinely believe that A. they're on the side of goodness and justice, and B. therefore anyone who disagrees with them is not only wrong, but actually evil. It is the manifestation of millennial fear (and raised by us, their Gen X and Boomer parents and grandparents), dealt with by exercising as much personal control over the orbit of their personal universes as they possibly can.

"Freedom" and "liberty" are foreign concepts to these people; to them, those are evil terms. Safety and comfort is the only thing that matters.

I had a hilarious (and by "hilarious", I mean "hair-pullingly frustrating") conversation with a kid at Paypal who did not understand the idea that there IS such a thing as "too much security." I tried to tell him that having algorithms that prevented people from conducting basic business, because the "AI detects" something "unusual" defeated the entire purpose of existence, and his response was "so you want the system to be LESS secure??" multiple times. I explained to him that everyone in the planet could be perfectly safe, all the time...just put them in a strait-jacket and a round rubber room, and no one could ever steal their identity or money, or harm them in any way.

That's not living. But everyone would be perfectly "safe!"

And such people will happily and gladly enslave entire populations, and do it without batting an eye, because it's "for their own good." "War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength."

It's frightening. 1984 wasn't meant to be an instruction manual.

A recent example of "too much security" - I was trying to purchase another cell phone and start a "no contract" service that's only available from one site/provider.  Over a period of two days I spent over two hours with their agents in online chat because I kept hitting a dead end when trying to enter billing & shipping info.  I logged in/out of my account, cleared the cache, rebooted, tried incognito mode, and later that evening tried the same thing on two more pc's, two handhelds, and even download their app(which isn't compatible with that device).  Finally one agent told me my address wasn't "populated on their available service map by google", so I was out of luck until their IT dept. resolves the problem (they've apparently been aware this happening for some time).  I'd maybe understand if I lived in the Himalayan mountains with delivery service being an occasional wild goat passing through with a package strapped to it's back, but......   
I'm not even sure what a "google service map" is.  My workaround for this is obviously using a different shipping & billing addy that their sytem recognizes, but that's a big inconvenience.
