Oh that’s right, I forgot about that one. Apparently they don’t feel that lawsuit applies though.

this is such an adorable question.

the dude died on stream , and then the people who tortured him to death sat around after he died, still streaming his dead body , and talked about what to tell the police, before they called emergency services. and here you guys are, arguing in their favor, calling it censorship that Kick is getting fined, and debating on whether the torture is “simulated”.

it’s a torture stream. there’s no fucking nuance. you sound like the people who are on the fence about gaza.

either you think people should be able to consent to being tortured on stream to death so a corporation can profit, or you don’t. there’s not a middle ground. I don’t give a shit whether the people doing the torturing feel like they’re being censored. they’re sadistic filth.

lol u got me there

it’s 2025 and we got people arguing people who torture someone to death on a livestream shouldn’t be deplatformed.

fucking wild, man, just fucking wild.

oh no!

anyway.

this is doubtless going to hurt whatever third party app store it is that you use anyway. if the only places sideloaded apps are available on, the only options are that custom roms like graphene become more popular, or apps that refuse to be put on Google will dry up.

which do you feel is more likely?

that was apple, I believe.

of course it is. apple has been doing it from the very beginning. now android gets the same walled garden.

then you’re the real deal, kudos to you and keep doing what you’re doing.

unless you’re buying music on CDs directly from the artists, you aren’t purchasing music, you’re leasing access to it from corporations like Spotify or Apple. even music you “buy”, you don’t actually own, per their terms of service, as they did not sell the music to you, they sold access to it, and they retain the right to restrict or remove your access to it at any time.

terms you agreed to, of course.

LIf they run more progressive candidates, they’ll lose more voters. Because the left has just proven in the most disastrous election in anyone’s lifetime that they can not be swayed to vote Democrat no matter how dire the circumstances - in fact, the more dire, the more they dig in that they will not not help republiQans destroy everything.

Name one fucking democrat who has run for president in the last three elections what was not a fascist, and I’ll show you a democrat that got the progressive vote. Who are you going to pick? Kamala The Cop, who laughed on TV about throwing mother in jail for smoking pot while she was doing it at home? Maybe one of the DNC members who was laughing at pro-Palestine protesters?

Stop being fucking nazi scum, that’ll get you a ton of votes.

And your take is if they want to run someone more progressive than Kamala those voters will vote Democrat again?

No, my take is that they stop trying to appeal to the fascists in their party and start adopting populist policies. Which, as the name implies, are popular. Things like universal healthcare and a bump to the minimum wage.

The democrats lost the election because their conservative members fled to the republicans. They’ll lose the next election too if they continue trying to appeal to republicans. Bitch about it all they want, nobody is responsible for that except the party and their stubborn refusal to be anything more than “republicans, but sometimes with gays”.

there’s no music stores on the high seas, matey.

I like that. That’s a good strawman. You compared a Kick stream focused on and containing only torture that literally killed a person to an artistic form of expression, a movie that was screened at Cannes and won many awards and is ranked second on the list of the Sundance Film Festival’s Top 10 films of All Time.

Obviously, I don’t think you’re a big enough idiot to have meant that seriously, it was clearly satirical.

Uh, what’s does that matter? Is it ok to stream shit like that if it’s simulated?
