Cory Booker did his filibuster stunt the same day he was scheduled to be leading a senate subcommittee inquiry into the same tech companies who are his largest donors.

Don’t be fooled, it was a clever distraction designed for the optics.

God realized they fucked up with all us uppity hyper-hierarchical monkeys and is going for a hard reset, or never existed. Change my mind.

No, Obama killed a lot of innocent people with drone strikes. Extra judicial execution by air strike on foreign soil is an American tradition at this point.

This comment shows you haven’t actually watched him lately.

This isn’t the DNC, this is a coalition of Dems aiming to retain or take Secretary of State roles in swing states to ensure election security. It’s the very late reaction and same move the Rebuplicans have been doing for the last 4 years.

Sorry, I wasn’t trying to argue with you at all, just add more on to your point. I completely agree with what you wrote, but I could have phrased it better.

And what happens when you instance is found hosting opinions that the current administration, or some random company doesn’t like? They just send a cease and desists to your ISP or hosting company. And of that ever became too burdensome, they’ll go up the chain to DNS providers and sue them into censoring domains completely.

Once 230 is gone, responsiblility for content hosting can be shifted all the way upstream to largest companies that make up the backbone of the internet, and with liability on them, they will censor everything.

You are truly delusional if you think that the Fediverse is safe. This is just the first step towards using DNS to filter the internet of dissenting opinions, and lastly, this will be used to automate lawsuits against anything and anyone that hosts anything that those in power don’t like.

To spell it out, if they remove 230, and everyone just hosts their own platform, and those platforms are used to spread information and opinions that are counter to the administration, they will sue your ISP to cut off your service.

Wow, you are either a complete troll/shill, or horribly lacking in critical thinking skills.

“No, no, she’s on of the good ones, not one of criminals, and she’s with me.”

No, they are state level charges, POTUS only gets to pardon Federal crimes.

That is putting a whole lot of responsibility on a people who never actually had control over government and elections, and it ignores the blatent media manipulation and information war that’s been waged against U.S. citizens for decades.

A better way to look at it is that tech companies were quietly siding with Trump before the election and pushed a massive amount of disinformation on social media to heavily influence the election in favor of their guy.

This might sound wrong in the context of this current week, and downturn in the stock market, but I’ll bet money that every major corporate C-suite has had a presentation on how much they stand to profit long term from Mango Mussolini. They are about to get their wildest wet dream: company towns free from regulation, and all the tax breaks they could ever imagine.

This isn’t the confederacy that’s taken over, this is a hostile acquisition by corporations. The key difference is that while there’s a blatantly racist tone to the current administration, it’s all a cover to make the racist conservative block feel like they’ve won, while the corporations get all the deregulation they want, and everyone who is not wealthy is getting their pockets cleaned and their right to complain removed.

“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” -President Lyndon B. Johnson

Yes please!!

Yeah, it’s like our worst turds floated to the top and are now running it into the ground. So, so stupid.

The goo texture is only from rolled oats, steel cut oats are so much better.

If they’re just an EV enthusiast, they would have bought a good EV that doesn’t crash itself, lock you inside, and rust out from a little morning dew. A Rivian pickup still costs less than a Swasticar and functions a lot better.

This was a personal choice that these drivers made when they bought their truck, and they get to live with the consequences. Your argument has more holes than swiss cheese.

Our violence is justified…

Please point me to a news source that reported actual physical violence to a swasticar driver. All I’ve seen is light vandalism at best.

He already did that, last week.

I thought the Trump sales tax was the $64B crypto rug-pull he did on his sycophants.
