Following in the footsteps of heroes of capitalism like Dick Burr, Kelly Loefler and Siftbank, and who can blame them? Who hasn't gazed upon a tragedy with cold, calculating, soulless eyes and thought 'how can I make this benefit me?'
It must be a horrible life being completely dead inside.
Well, given how they've put the Daily Caller in a position to fact check political news, it would be offbrand for them not to mess this up in a similar way. They've probably got Mike Adams of NaturalNews working on it.
'Look, look, put the torches and pitchforks away, we're letting this one company do their work by offering not to sue them! Sure we'll probably attach more strings to this than a marionette orchestra and will happily sue the next company, and the company after that without ever producing anything but lawsuits, but we did that one decent thing once! Everything is fine! Capitalism is working for the people!'
In a sane world, we would come out of the Covid-19 pandemic realising just how capitalism as it exists now is failing humanity at nearly every turn. Unfortunately, we'll probably be told everything's fine and that humanity has failed capitalism if anything, and enough people will believe that to prevent anything being done.
Reign in? Nah, attack any company that 'silences conservative voices.'(Also known as reluctantly banning nazis after years of abusive behaviour toward other users only after the mainstream press start paying attention.) You bet!
Barr has made no attempt to hide that the bulk of what he does is done for purely partisan reasons, this will be no different.
Look forward to the party behind the porn filter implementing something that manages to be even worse. The doors will soon be wide open for the tories to push through laws written by lobbyists, like America lite.
Given their love of buying dying giants of the early web, I'm surprised they didn't just buy Ask Jeeves and smush them into the internet version of a dustbunny caked lump of forgotten play-dough that is Oath.
Corporations are people too, my friends, people who don't have to respect the laws of countries they operate in, pay taxes or worry about being prosecuted for bribery or any wrongdoing on their part... Okay, they're not people, they're like people but better, often functioning without any of the obligations or anything stopping them being amoral.
Probably, but the people who need to read my thoughts on these things aren't huge fans of reading anything longer than a tweet, or the ticker at the bottom of the Fox news screen. I suppose if I put the word Snowflake in the title, I could get a right wing group to bulk purchase it so people think my views have a wider appeal.
And once a democrat is back in the Whitehouse, those who support Trump will once again remember they're meant to care about the constitution. The people creating these policies will go on Fox News or get NYT columns where they decry government overreach, and the voters that support it will go back to claiming that the president wearing a coloured suit clearly means they're going to have fema lock up everyone who ever voted for trump to harvest their eyeball juice, and tag all babies with their nutritional information.
Nah, Republican megadonors like Sheldon tend to funnel the bulk of their money to one side and will move heaven and earth to try and block any candidate to the left of Reagan.
I'm sure he's setting money aside as we speak to buy enough republican politicians to get anti-anti-SLAPP laws on the books on a national level the next time they get any sort of majority on both houses.
Remove one persecuted group from visibility on the platform and the people doing it will become emboldened and go after the next to try and make the site conform to their vision of what the world should be. We've seen how easy it is for organised groups to game the system to punish people on other platforms, after all.
