He would love to be able to say X was shutdown, sounds muuuuuch better than X ran out of money because he ran it into the ground.
He tried to do the same suing the advertisers who boycotted him. It wasn't about the lawsuit, it was about having something to point at when it collapsed.
If a Democratic president is willing and able to arrest him immediately why haven't they done it in the past three years? Does he think Biden is a bastion of free speech in the party?
Why would he care? Trump is evidence that the rich and powerful never need to face any actual consequences. Even after being convicted of 43 felonies, the dude is running around free, campaigning for president with impunity and zero consequences.
I'd logged into Twitter the other day for the first time in years, first thing I noticed was a bunch of this twats tweets and that I was following him. Did he force accounts to follow him when he took over?
Could it be that he's making the calculation that if Kamala's elected, Tesla will be fine anyways, but if Trump gets elected, everything helping electric car makers will go to shits except Tesla, because of his nauseating brown nosing?
Or is his brain just shit and rot? Was it always, or what happened??
They need to overhaul the FCC and rework and reintroduce the Fairness doctrine and make sure it applies to social networks and that they have access to even the most hidden forms of moderation and how it's getting applied. It should be something rigorous enough that people should be able to issue violation complaints to authorities when breached that will actually be actionable, and it should have different standards between small social networks and large ones.
What I hate about social networks nowadays is how they try to pass off as something that is only surface level and they really make no effort being. Their biases and the sort of comments they are and aren't removing should be on full display, and not just the made up reasons they might stick as an excuse.
I mean, he's kinda right though. Dems are known for suppressing free speech. Look at lemmy, it's 99.9% blue and you once say something like "Trump gud, illegal immigrant Kamala bad" and instead of a factual argument with a birth certificate attached, you just get a ban.
Dems want an oppressive regimen where everyone who disagrees with them is silenced. So, I understand why he's worried.
And if this does happen, you'll see lemmy cheer. Lemmy values free speech and independent opinion only when it aligns with their.
I'd love to talk to you about illegal kamala but first I need to make sure you aren't a Russian bot. Kindly attach a picture of you wrapped in an American flag and then we'll talk.
I thought we were building a better reddit here. But turned out we're building an echo chamber where snowflakes can whine to each other all day long. Not sure what this really achieves as 99.9% of them always agree with each other.
Political activism is only valid if it actually reaches someone who disagrees, and when done in a way that it might convince the other party to at least consider your points.
Lemmy fundamentally fails at both simultaneously. Kinda explains why US politics is such a shitshow.
There was a pond called reddit. The water got too warm and all the yellow frogs migrated to the swamp nearby. They now claim that if you're not a yellow frog, there's something wrong with you, and they'll kick you out of their swamp if you don't turn yellow tomorrow.
