"Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me do
The world moves on, another day another drama, drama
But not for me, not for me, all I think about is karma
And then the world moves on, but one thing's for sure
Maybe I got mine, but you'll all get yours"
What Swift might have been singing as she files the countersuit
None of what the Utah bill demands is incidental nor benign; even the requirements for transparency and notice impinge on platforms' ability to exercise editorial and associative discretion over what user expression they facilitate by imposing significant burdens on the exercise of that discretion.
Much in the way the Trump administration changing environmental studies to have to release confinential health information to use it in studies, under the similar lie that's it's only for "transparency."
There's been nothing offered in support of this scam except for "Durr google evil" and the classicthief's rationalization of "You have money. I want money. Therefore you owe me. Therefore it's my right to take it from you."
The bullshit spun up to justify the link tax reads a lot like the bullshit spun up by the fascists that want to repeal the first amendment wrt online platforms:
"Google and Facebook are bigger than an arbitrary size I made up, so let's exaggerate that they have sole control over the market, so we can invent blame that it's them that are responsible for news's failure in the marketplace, therefore they have no right to walk away from being forced to provide service at their own expense."
"Facebook and twitter are bigger than an arbitrary size I made up, so let's exaggerate that they have sole control over the public square, so we can invent blame that it's them that are responsible for white supremacy's failure in the marketplace of ideas, therefore they have no right to say no to being forced to provide service at their own expense."
Re: Re: Are the rules 'we can do anything?' No? Then get rid of
Speaking of blowing smoke, the part that shills leave out is that when they say "Congress should pass a law" they mean "I want Marsha Blackburn's 'ISPs can do whatever they want' and Republicans' 'local competition to our ISP donors is now illegal' anti-consumer laws to in force."
According to publicly accessible, verified, and verifiable data (Biden’s official calendar), the meeting alleged in the emails never actually took place.
The only ones who could and did personally claim to have seen information proving the authenticity of the email and the laptop are also known to have a strong bias and lack credibility.
Umrainian businessman Hares Youssef has admitted he made up damaging lies about Hunter Biden business dealibgs because he was bribed with the promise of getting as US Visa if he did so.
Masnick again claims conservatives are not disproportionately silenced on Big Tech websites.
Masnick several paragraphs down: "Basically, the fact is that applying these rules neutrally mean that more Republicans/conservatives are impacted..."

You're proving you're math-illiterate by asserting a ratio probably around 63/88 is larger than ome like 8/10 because you're myopically looking at it as though it's 63 vs 10.
