'People hate Elon Musk for no reason if you ignore all the many, many valid reasons they have to hate him, clearly it must be jealousy of his success.'
If you're even slightly to the left of Pinochet, to a lot of the online right you're a communist Leninist socialist Marxist muslim Maoist Trotskyite Aliniski-ist scary Breitbart buzzword salad who wants to end capitalism and take away whatever they value most from their ever shifting definition of freedoms that only really apply to them. You should both be mocked and feared for being in the pocket of big tech while somehow being anticapitalist and for being responsible for whatever their grievance du jour is even though said grievance didn't exist until someone they liked from twitter got banned for being a racist.
Because they can't radicalise people as easily on those sites anymore because people know what they are. Qanon promoters had a lot more success recruiting people when they stopped directing people to 8kun for Qdrops because lonely grannies went there, got called slurs or exposed to porn and ran away, so they switched to aggregators as their first exposure to the madness instead, it made it seem more respectable.
Parler was intended to be a more grown up version of those radicalisation cesspools, but it's useless if they can't go all out normalising threats and slurs.
He and Ukip, with zero members of parliament, were on TV more than the leaders of any other party, hell, he seemed to be the first person called when anything even tangentially related to Europe was in the news. By trying to seem unbiased, they went entirely in the other direction, and now they have a right wing director general actively cancelling left wing content.
Who killed the fairness doctrine to make it easier for right wing bullsh*t merchants like Fox news and so on to take over the airwaves with out and out partisan attacks masquerading as news? Wasn't traditions media, big tech ir the left.
You don't want unbiased news, you've shown tike and time again here you believe anything less than letting conservative lies go unchallenged is infringing on their free speech. The notion of fairness is nothing but a tool for you, something you want from others while never reciprocating, only finding common ground when it can be used to drag people to the right.
I'd be all for it if it concentrated all the crypto spammers into one place, unfortunately it'd be the Epoch times, on the blockchain.
'This just in: Democrat who wants to stop us stealing your grandma's pension with get rich quick coins plugged by us is in league with satan and eats babies!'
The content remains online so it wasn't moderated, and the issue isn't moderation, it's the lack of communication, just pulling a revenue stream without warning because prudes and incels have been kicking up a stink.
It shouldn't come as a shock that a company owned by a company that is notorious for treating paid employees like garbage is treating content creators with no legal protections at all like garbage.
Damn those Marxists for not wanting companies to make a profit from limiting access to publicly funded research that they in no way contribute to.
Elsevier are nothing but a private tollbooth on a publicly funded road. They didn't build the road, they don't want to pay to maintain it, but they sure will fight you if you try to go around them.
They won't do it the right way, what they'll do is make casino-fied lootbox filled versions of popular franchises that vaguely imitate fortnight then give up after a year or two when the revenue isn't what they'd hoped to try and clone something else popular, leaving the few people who pumped money in with nothing but diminished bank accounts.
It'll be fun watching them squeeze pop culture character skins into Assassins creed Royale to try and gain users though.
Losing the retweet was the worst day of Donald Trump's life. People are no longer subjected to racist uncles signal boosting his every word with the click of a button, they no longer have to worry about being ruled by 3am toilet tweet, now the only people who see his decrees from his gold plated porcelain throne are people who want to go to even the most minimal level of effort there aren't that many.
Why would a publication owned by one of the largest privately owned old media organisations in the world support misinformation that will help make it easier for the right to take a machete to laws that protect the internet as we know it? It's not like the internet becoming less usable and a far easier place to spread right wing misinformation would benefit them in any way...
People know, people just have to.deal with it unfortunately. Legacy media have had decades to sculpt the law in such a way even that if Google and Amazon dug their heels in and fought they're unlikely to get a clearcut decision that music in streams is fair use.
Stadia was a platform with no exclusive games of note, run by people who didn't care about developers given their lack of communication with those who did work with them, all owned by a company with a history of cutting these things off if they're not an immediate success.. With the underlying tech that requires infrastructure that doesn't exist most of the places they were hoping to sell it.
There was no reality where it was destined to do anything but tank.
If the game is targeted at kids, the costume dlc becomes problematic as there's intense peer pressure to buy rather than use any of the default skins. Kids have been subjected to online bullying for not being able to keep up with their peers, whose parents buy them season passes and give them money to blow on these things, I've known kids of friends who've stolen to fund buying 'optional' fortnight add ons because of pressure from friends and the game itself to spend spend spend!
If it were one or two packs, yeah, fine, but it's endless.
If an overpriced IOT bike company and online chuck-e-cheese tokens are seen as good investments, the next global financial collapse is going to be brutal
Atari buying licenses left and right didn't help, expecting one or two programmers to make a usable game on five year old hardware in a few weeks without any thought of the game being fun or good.
