I realise I’m well behind the curve in this thread but shocking as last week was, it was also fucking hilarious.

 

That guy dressed as a Minator was hysterical. His interview was even better, what a crackpot.

 

Just imagine the US giving it the holier than now attitude if this happened in a Middle East country or somewhere.

More conspiracy theory from the loons. The Georgia runoffs were stolen, folks.
 

 

...and Pelosi is mad as hell and she’s not gonna take it anymore, because her laptop was stolen during the breach.

CNN interviewed the lad who filmed it yesterday. He said the police told the rioters not to attempt to go through that door or they’d be shot.

 

She ignored them and got shot.

I’m intrigued - CNN interviewed a ‘lad who filmed it’ and he’s being distinguished from the rioters, even though he was running with the rioters. Surely he was a blinking rioter?

I absolutely guarantee if you got all these fringe media wankers and paid them not to do this stuff, their desire to liberate the country from the satanic paedophile communist hordes would dry up pretty quickly. 

 

Steve Bannon was perfect on that score. Right wing twat that's spewed nothing but bile about Mexico and China, gets arrested for swindling Elmer Fudds out of their meth money to "fund a wall" and is found on a Chinese billionaire's boat.

 

It's the same over here, Farage with his German passport, Hartley Brewer, Toby Young, all these twats who've profited from stoking bile.

 

The media outlets which give them a platform purely for social media and Internet shares, coupled with the abject laziness and idiocy or Joe Six-pack, are the real problem.

 

A self contained industry of endless twattery complete with producers, middlemen and consumers.

I just hope this doesn't mean they end up in Leiden instead. Stay on the train to Den Haag blerts.

As I say, that's what antitrust laws are for. As I mentioned in my other post, I personally think there needs to be some consideration in breaking some of these companies up because they are too big. I'm not sure it's quite right there should be a company with turnover the equivalent of the GDP of a mid-sized EU nation. But that just isn't the problem here. The problem is Parler and the cunts who post on it. 

 

I think it's a bit of both really but I can understand that it's probably not the best time to talk about it right now. Maybe when Trump is gone and this has settled down a bit it'll be easier though.

 

I've been checking on what Glenn Greenwald has been saying recently too and he's not having any of it really. It's probably best that he's not in this thread as there'd be a decent bit of rage directed at him I think. This is a good example of facebook being the broken pile of shit that it is though :

 

 

At the same time I don't think this would've gone down too well here (shit nested twitter tweets, it's the bottom tweet i'm linking) :

 

 

This isn't going to blow over any time soon though and these corps need looking at eventually. And maybe Parler will get their own servers sorted out then....get raided by feds or something? I suppose we'll find out soon enough.

It's a load of fucking bollocks. Nobody is stopping them talking, Trump can talk any time he wants as can the senators. All the need to do is have a press conference. But they won't, because they can't spout their shite without it being questioned.

Exactly.

 

The other thing is that users with these abhorrent views are being kicked off because the majority of other users, and much of society, find their views unacceptable.  In a sense it's self-policing although of course ultimately up the the private company to decide who stays and who goes.  But I would think that if these views were not fringe and were acceptable to most other users, so if society was skewed the opposite way, they would be fine to carry on being horrible people.  But that's not the case.

Great recent habit of greenwald to make a salient point in the cuntiest way possible. 

 

Maybe should have just revisited this old example of the dangers of the state and SM controlling the narrative (thread): 

Although, to be fair, I believe he was friends with Franco so might be a bit close to the bone.

 

He could also remind people at any time that Trump put an opponent of net neutrality in charge of the FCC and that internet traffic in the US at a much more fundamental level is more open to corporate control thanks to him.

 

Edit: they could quite easily regulate terms of service to make them less vague, but I find it unlikely they would do so.
