Walmart reverses position to appease sheep, enable govt...
Walmart on Tuesday announced it will reduce its gun and ammunition
sales, one month after more than 20 people were killed in a mass
shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas. Walmart also pressured
Congress to enact gun safety measures. From a report: The company,
America's largest retailer, said it will stop selling handgun
ammunition and ammunition for short-barrel rifles after selling all of
its current inventory. Walmart will also stop selling handguns in
Alaska, the only state where it still sells handguns. And Walmart will
request that customers no longer openly carry guns into its 4,700 US
stores, or its Sam's Club stores, in states that allow open carry.
However, Walmart will continue to sell long barrel deer rifles and
shotguns and much of the ammunition for those guns. Walmart will also
continue to allow concealed carry by customers with permits in its
stores. In a memo to employees on Tuesday, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon
said Walmart's changes were prompted by the El Paso, Texas, shooting,
as well as recent mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and Midland and
Odessa, Texas. "In a complex situation lacking a simple solution, we
are trying to take constructive steps to reduce the risk that events
like these will happen again," he said. "The status quo is
unacceptable."

YouTube loses all spine in latest "Policy" wave against free speech...
Hollywood Reporter: YouTube says it has removed more than 17,000
channels for hate speech, representing a spike in takedowns since its
new hate speech policy went into effect in June. The Google-owned
company calls the June update -- in which YouTube said it would
specifically prohibit videos that glorify Nazi ideology or deny
documented violent events like the Holocaust -- a "fundamental shift
in our policies" that resulted in the takedown of more than 100,000
individual videos during the second quarter of the year. The number of
comments removed during the same period doubled to over 500 million,
in part due to the new hate speech policy. YouTube said that the
30,000 videos it had removed in the last month represented 3 percent
of the views that knitting videos generated during the same period.
YouTube says the videos removed represented a five-times increase
compared with the previous three months. Still, in early August the
ADL's Center on Extremism reported finding "a significant number of
channels" that continue to spread anti-Semitic and white supremacist
content.
