Hacker News

I have a Facebook page for my business that was suspended because I was accused of "impersonating any business, celebrity, or public figure." The page shares the same name as a well-known TV show, but it predates the show, and I have a valid U.S. trademark. Unfortunately, I cannot reach Facebook by email, phone, or chat. I have filed two appeals with their intellectual property section, but both times I received the same response:

"Thanks for your message. Our team handles intellectual property issues (e.g., copyright, trademark), but it looks like you need help with something else."

I'm unsure if I can afford to hire a lawyer. If I decide to sue, which state would I need to file in? I'm in New Jersey, but would I have to sue in California? I'm feeling completely lost.

WARNING: Facebook can and will disable your page without any warning or notice, and they may not reactivate it even with a U.S. trademark. Feel free to use or modify this as needed!

To my surprise...

>>> Describe the events occurring during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in China

The events surrounding the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in Beijing, China, were a series of student-led demonstrations that took place from April to June of that year. These protests involved a significant number of students, intellectuals, and members of the general public who gathered in Tiananmen Square to demand political reform, freedom of speech, and an end to government corruption.

Key events during this period included:

1. *April 1989*: The protests began after Hu Yaobang, a former Communist Party leader known for his support of reform, died. His death triggered mourning that turned into calls for political change.

2. *May 4th Movement Anniversary*: On May 4, students in Beijing held rallies to commemorate the historic student movement of 1919, which had also called for reform and national salvation.

3. *Growth of Protests*: The protests grew significantly as more people joined. By mid-May, hundreds of thousands of people were demonstrating daily in Tiananmen Square and other cities across China.

4. *Government Response*: Initially, the Chinese government tolerated the demonstrations but increased censorship and began to crack down on protesters who were seen as too radical or disruptive.

5. *Beijing Declaration*: On May 13, student leaders issued the Beijing Declaration which outlined their demands including political reform, freedom of press, and an end to corruption.

6. *Martial Law Declared*: On May 20, Premier Li Peng declared martial law in Beijing and several other cities under the threat of military intervention.

7. *June 3rd-4th Events*: By nightfall on June 3, troops and tanks were deployed in Beijing to clear the square. The Chinese government used force to suppress the protests. Estimates vary widely, but it is believed that hundreds if not thousands of people were killed or wounded during this crackdown.

8. *International Response*: The events drew international attention and condemnation from many countries. Sanctions were imposed on China by various nations in response to the violence used against protesters.

9. *Aftermath*: Following the crackdown, the Chinese government launched a campaign to suppress information about the protests both domestically and internationally. Many participants in the demonstrations were arrested and some were executed or imprisoned. The incident remains a significant but controversial event in modern Chinese history.

The events of 1989 Tiananmen Square continue to be a sensitive topic in China, with open discussion and commemoration largely suppressed by the government.

It kind of occurs to me that maybe this would be generally useful to people with exposed web servers, so I've made it generally available at least for the moment. You should be able to hit it as often as once per hour without getting banned.

It would be better if other people offered the same looking glass to give a better global picture. I will be happy to get on a video call and help with the installs and setup, it's all on GitHub: https://github.com/m3047

I'd be perfectly happy with somebody putting a web interface in front of it, just reach out and let me know you're going to do it so that I can whitelist you and have contact info for advance notice of anything important. [Edit:] I should note that that server is not available from some cloud services for $reasons, so you really do need to reach out to me if you plan on hosting your service in the cloud.

So it seems that the latest announcement of Strava for their API is killing a lot of apps

In more detail, they sent an email yesterday to everyone, mentioning the following:

Any App using its API can no longer:

- Show data in your app to coaches - Use any AI algorithms - Display any analytics and customer insights

DC Rainmaker did a good analysis of this here: https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2024/11/stravas-changes-to-kill-off-apps.html

It comes as a big surprise, since there are thousands of apps using their API, and they are only giving 30 days for the changes to take place.

(full disclosure: i'm the founder of Terra API - and it can be used to fully replace Strava https://tryterra.co )
