  Ironically, the French figured out a cure for that around 240 years ago.

    I feel like France in general has more of a history of its people being more politically active compared to other countries.

  oh i’m sure it is, and that’s what i think is so insidious about it. the tactics we’re seeing emerge appear to be carefully engineered so as to disproportionately exhaust those who care the most about preserving privacy so we just pack up and leave the platforms for them to ravage.

  the average person who hears about proposed “web integrity” protections is going to think nothing of it and do nothing about it, then paint you as a conspiracy theorist for being as concerned as you are. i remember preaching to people about SOPA years ago, and was met with a resounding “meh”. they want the watchdogs specifically to leave their platforms, so that there is no one left to sound the alarms for everyone else.

  Sucks that it’s so effective (in my eyes, at least). Sometimes I just have to make assumptions against the parties that stand to gain money because there’s so much disinformation.

  Haven’t given up by any means, and I’m not only supporting my own interests - but dang. Find a hobby, Lindsey Grahams of the world.

    Less democracy is what the ruling class wants; it gives them more control over their customers.
