How the "russian hackers" ended up just being facebook advertisers. And they spend like, 400 grand. Which bought 5 minutes of adds. Then later, they weren't even russians. It ended up being a Ukrainian clickbait operator making a fortune off of angry supporters on both sides.
But that doesn't fit the bullshit narrative of the story. In fact, REALITY isn't good for this story at all.
Oh, I'm so sorry folks don't like your shit story. By all means come down to the comments to personally attack people for calling out your obvious bullshit.
"I take slight issue with the idea that Section 230 represents a "financial subsidy," to internet services. It seems that a more accurate description is that it's a protection against costly, misguided, or frivolous litigation."
Screw the consumer. Protect the rich companies. Can we get the story redone by someone that sides with people?
YouTube makes lots of "mistakes" now and they are fooling noone
There's so much data showing the reality distortion YouTube does in the USA for the big media outlets that aren't Fox. A CNN story that nobody views and might get 500 likes will trend when PewDiePie doesn't. The major media outlets that aren't Fox (fox never trends on youtube now) control YouTube now for Google.
"Ultimately, it seems likely that in 5-10 years, even after the weaker options have been shaken out via competition, consumers will still desire some kind of central subscription repository that makes navigating all of these choices and finding content easy. "
USENET is an amazing example of something not being talked about at all because they can't do anything about it. With the right software, USENET is all the things consumers want. I know. I'm enjoying it.
They bring nothing positive to the consumer. Nothing. They even somehow keep getting these bullshit stories printed defending their unethical bullshit, adding insult to injury.
"The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has released a public notice setting October 12, 2018 as the initial deadline for “United States-based foreign media outlets” to file reports with the FCC.

Outside the US, this story is just over and has been.
Yup. Nobody is talking about it. They are busy buying Huawei phones, which show no sign of slowing down, to use on Huawei's standard setting 5G network that's going up worldwide outside the USA. Yanno, for the other 7 Billion people that aren't American. Where they aren't inundate with state sponsored fan fiction about Huawei.
What I find hilarious is how the hater crowd that shows up to support dumb things the president does, finds no irony in arguing that china are terrible copyright thieves, and lie to their people with their media.
You Can't Have Copyright Protection (fixed that for you)
You can't. They've never successfully stopped copyright piracy. Ever. And they won't. Because society attacks the folks that can defeat the piracy. Johnny Football gets to be a senator and have an easy life. Not Irwin ComputerClass. So the smartest of us are under no motivation to pay for things the privileged classes have to pay for. Let them pay for seasons of shows with the Apple TV they all own. I know about USENET. USENET can't be stopped. So I win.
