A) I don’t think there’s anything illegal, here, and B) of course large private agencies manipulate elections, from news agencies to SuperPACs to social media, and C) there’s not a heck of a lot we can do about that.
The best thing we can do is smarten up and think for ourselves. In short, we’re doomed!😅
I’ve always said that in order to get access to the internet, you should need a yearly updated photograph of your genitals that is easily displayed whenever you post something online.
That way, when you try to sway someones opinions, they can see how big your penis is, and say “No actually, shut up. You have a small penis, Elon Musk!”
Finally a way for the big penis club members to be taken seriously intellectually, and not just paraded around for our good looks!
Dude I know you get down voted a lot but you are probably my most favorite person on this platform. Always love to come across a Lost My Mind comment. Never know what to expect but im probably going to fucking laugh.
There’s a lot of people on this platform who take things very seriously. Internet comments are serious business, and jokes on here are like poking the bear.
Then I come along and I’m like Steve Irwin. "AW CRIKEY! IT’S THE GREAT LEMMY BEAR OF THE DECENTRALIZED TERRITORIES!!! THESE CREATURES CAN BE QUITE HOSTILE TOWARDS NON-LINUX USERS, AND ANYTHING SARCASTIC! THEY NEVER GET A CHANCE TO MATE, SO THEY’RE QUITE IRRITABLE!!!
It’s not illegal in the broke an actual government law sense, but it certainly violates every moral principle I’ve ever heard of. Instead of being generous and grateful for his wealth, the richest man has decided to buy the largest place where news is shared on the internet, fired almost all the employees primarily out of spite, and pirated the network for the sake of turning it into a propaganda platform for an attempted dictator who will make him even richer.
This is what cancel culture is made for. Not some comedian misspeaking. This.
This was my first question. Where is the line between election “participation” and election “interference”? Putting a political sign on my lawn certainly isn’t interference?
Is that illegal, though? I agree it should be. I didn’t see any broken laws referenced in the article (or at least not the parts I could read though the adds.) Just curious as to when their actions crossed from just being a jerk to being illegal.

I agree that it’s probably not illegal for him to do that. But it is solvable if we decide to legislate some long overdue guardrails.
Just be careful how you do it. The First Amendment gives a lot of leeway for people to be shitty.

Is your lawn a network of millions of people, which censors differing opinions, and deletes others signs?
