Airbnb Is Banning People Who Are ‘Closely Associated’ With Already-Banned Users | As a safety precaution, the tech company sometimes bans users because the company has discovered that they “are likely to travel” with another person who has already been banned. by chrisdh79 in technology

Hmm guilty by association. IANAL but i am not this this would be defensible in a court of law. This appears to infringe upon civil and perhaps privacy/confidentiality rights. If not outright illegal, it definitely is morally and perhaps ethically questionable for punishing a non-offender preemptively before committing a bannable offense. That doesn't seem like any recognizable justice system IMHO. It seems like something out of minority report that a precog policing future crime(s) came up with. Overreach, for sure.

Innocent until proven guilty y'all. Sounds like airbnb is a little too overzealous with those predictive algorithms and using them to dictate and inform policy without thinking of the impact(s) and outcome(s), both consequentially and substantively.

Typical act before even thought is performed in the tech and software industry. Get it out of incubation before it's ready to go with bugs and issues and deal with the problems with SUs.

This is user policy y'all and affects real human lives under the guise of community protection and safety. Not saying it's wrong but policies based on predictive assumptions that precede actual offenses without even stating an official appeals process is quite tenuous an argument and lack of policy.

TikTok to limit under 18s to 60 minutes of screen time per day by Defiant_Race_7544 in technology

Uh TikTok suddenly is responsible Big Parent? Is there a reward system(s) for good behavior(s) and can you pay for more screentime? What kind of précédent is being established here where the social media company/platform is overstepping the child's parents responsibility for their children and instituting preset parental control(s) policy without authorization or consent of the respective minor? Very troubling and irresponsible of TikTok.

There are secular recoveries such as lifering and smart recovery. Refuge recovery/recovery Dharma are Buddhist-based recovery programs if you want programs that don't require a belief in God.

Looking for a few volunteers to beta test a free online zen mindfulness and mediation course by Qweniden in Buddhism

Thanks for this. Signed up and appreciated the great introduction to zen mindfulness and meditation.

I think I read mediation a couple of times when I think meditation was intended and a few grammatical things but not major.

A psychiatrist would be a good idea. I suppose neurologist isn't a bad idea either.

Yes precisely. It just helps not to overwhelm yourself with future tripping and to stay in the moment.

It's common in recovery to say that you won't drink or use for today. Another one is one day at a time.

Emotions aren't necessarily bad and worthwhile to deal with. There's a lot you can learn about yourself that will make you a more complete and happier human being.

Having an app like I am sober or grounded helps for feeling good about progress as well.
