Uh huh, and America will keep on eroding what few laws there are to restrict access to firearms and cry 'Why oh why are there more mass shootings!? We've put as many guns as we can on the street and massacres keep becoming more frequent! The availability of guns and mass shootings aren't linked, they can't be, guns don't kill people, people do! The NRA said so and they can't possibly have a vested interest in putting guns in the hands of as many people as they can!'
America is the only place dumb enough to manufacture guns shaped and coloured like children's toys, because not enough kids have guns or get murdered because they had a gun shaped toy.
So they can blame the teachers for not stopping shooters or crucify them for accidentally shooting the wrong child in the heat of the moment and turn public opinion against public education as a whole so they can ramp up the privatisation. It's also a good way to look like they have a plan, which is to shovel responsibility onto people who don't want it and have too much to do already, rather than actually doing anything about america's gun problem.
Elon Musk does not love you. Elon Musk is not your flawless tech Daddy that's above criticism. Elon Musk is not planning to take you to mars no matter how often you lick his boots. Elon Musk is not Tony Stark made real, he's Peter Thiel with a cult of personality.
There's no money for government services in red states, spending money on helping the poorl the sick and the needy to get back on their feet is wasteful, but there'll always be money available for fighting to prevent republican feelings getting hurt.
'Section 230(c)(1) and 230(c)(2) were deliberately enacted by Congress to induce, encourage, and promote social medial companies to accomplish an objective—the censorship of supposedly “objectionable” but constitutionally protected speech on the Internet—that Congress could not constitutionally accomplish itself.'
Section 230 became law in 1996. Facebook was founded 2004, Twitter in 2006, YouTube in 2005, Google in 1998, MySpace in 2003... Cox and Wyden sure thought ahead writing a law to silence conservatives using platforms that wouldn't be founded for years!
The same people pushing to destroy the internet just so they can lie and toss around slurs without any pushback? Gee, wonder why people are amused by their misfortune.
90,000 right wingers are about to get a taste if the wonderful post section 230 world they've been told they should long for, with their inboxes flooded with unsolicited spam, scams and abuse, all of which are free speech that shouldn't ever be filtered, ever. Their right to be heard trumps your desire to see them, guys! Enjoy.
Conservative attempts at building platforms remind me of watching a spoiled toddler. They want all the toys, they don't want to share but they also want other kids to sit and watch them play with them. When the other kids try to do things without them, they rush over and spoil that too because the world revolves around them and they in their mind, they deserve to be the center of everything.
They want an echochamber where everyone who isn't a republican has to sit and listen, and they're prepared to ruin the internet to get it. No giving, only taking.
Oh no, not veterans being censored! Let's just look them up, shall we?
'Veterans Today is a pro-Kremlin, antisemitic conspiracy theory and fake news website. It describes itself as a "military veterans and foreign affairs journal", but the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) had said "the anti-Israel bent on VT can slide pretty quickly into overt anti-Semitism."'
With Facebook, there is a very real thumb on the scales to push it in favour of conservative content, Joel Kaplan is there blocking any attempt to correct the broken system that Shapiro and Bongino exploit and make sure conspiracy theory content is always there waiting to radicalise grandma, and even that isn't enough for the right. They want to live in a world where conservatives are a protected class, where they can ignore terms of service or better yet, structure them to punish critics, and people are forced by law to give them an audience. Anything other than sitting down and shutting up while they scream and shout and declare how their political opponents need to die is anti conservative bias and infringing on their free speech.
It'll be like the microtransaction system, where existing content gets walled off and $70 games games are made less fun to play to force people to pay to win, just to.increase the publisher's bottom lines.
A former Bush admin official making left wing content harder to find while ensuring right wing clickbait and conspiracy theories are promoted. Climate change and america's history of genocide and slavery being erased from school textbooks. Astroturf groups creating lists of professors to fire because they're deemed too left wing. People being barred from being employed by state governments unless they agree not to participate in any boycotts of Israel. Mass purges of anyone in office who doesn't wholeheartedly support Donald Trump. Plots to put hidden cameras on kids so parents can record teachers and get them fired for political reasons. Attempts to get entire fields of study vilified and banned because it teaches students racism is bad. Laws passed to try and compel professors and students to disclose their political leanings so politicians can withdraw funding if they're deemed too left wing... You need to close the Tim Pool and Andy Ngo videos you're watching as it ain't democrats doing that, champ.
And people like Musk didn't in any way lobby to get tax breaks and subsidies, he didn't spend a single penny on politicians to get payouts from the government, nope! He just walked along and found free money and special treatment waiting for him for being the one honest person in business.
Blindsided by this triumph of socialist communist Marxist community broadband, the big telcos redoubled their efforts, vowing to crush the red menace by building new infrastructure, cutting prices and upgrading their networks to prove the free market always wins in the end... No wait, they'll just buy enough state senators to ban community broadband state by state.
It's not the 'poking at liberals' that drives his lack of desire to join those platforms, it's the reach and the big number he can brag about. On twitter, he can brag about having millions of fans, about all the retweets he got from the conservative griftosphere, botnets and elderly racist relatives people can't unfollow without family drama, you can't do that on a platform with less than a million users.
Gee, wasn't it worth ruining the night sky for amateur astronomers just so Elon could be first with something? But hey, he can pour his profits from this into building space telescopes and giving them to scientists for free... Oh wait.
