Well, that's okay. I'll be able to buy acid at Walgreens in 15 years anyway.

They didn't ban the dictators and warlords who preach genocidal rhetoric every day. They didn't ban the constant death threats from teenagers against each other and random celebrities they felt like canceling that week. They didn't ban the people who coordinated to loot a drug store in my neighborhood even though I reported them. They didn't ban rioters in Chicago who live streamed torching businesses. They didn't ban people who were literally convicted of murder.

But they sure got together fast to put up billboards in destroyed neighborhoods bragging about how they helped elevate protests. And they sure were proud of coordinating against right wing wackos in DC.

TOS are never enforced consistently and GAFA is a neoliberal technocratic echo chamber that feigns social progressivism in order to coordinate anti-labor, anti-speech actions.

Silicon Valley has failed humanity. The governments of the world must ban targeted algorithms and initiate antitrust enforcement against GAFA immediately so this can never happen again.

No shit. It wasn't some broken, barely adopted start up that created this mess. It was the largest social platform in the world where this insanity spread for years. Break up GAFA with antitrust laws.

This can't continue the way it's been going.

Not just the IRL jannies, but the ones who police the platform too. They are contractors who make minimum wage and are exposed to horrors every single day with little psychological support.

Given our technological superiority over the majority of the world, why are states with far less resources vaccinating their populations so much faster? What can California do to streamline the process?

I am concerned this is being used as a pretext to ban encryption or push for backdoors.

Well, yeah, it's a dictatorship run by warlords.

It turns out that once you shut down the leader of the world's largest empire, every tinpot thug who fears losing their ability to control their citizens will shut down access to your platform. Whoda thunk? It has nothing to do with right and wrong and everything to do with realpolitik.

I saw Twitter's Public Policy team melting down about this. What did they expect? Pandora's Box has been opened

It's not apathy, it's fatigue. It's been 10 months of terror and horror and people use whatever mental tricks they can to stay sane.

I'm already seeing people who I otherwise politically agree with demand that Telegram be decrypted. Madness.
