  Sounds like the government should eat Meta’s lunch before extremists eat their’s. They won’t tho. They’ll let every tiny far right group smear shit over the white house again.

    It’ll be just like 2020: react after the damage is done and pretend they weren’t complicit.

      Assuming that there are any non-fascists left to react…

    For real. The big tech companies are today basically approximating and exceeding what have before been exclusively state-level capabilities. Not all of those capabilities, of course, but enough that the writing’s on the wall. Meta, Google, Amazon (and others) - they truly see themselves as above “petty” things like governments. Just obstacles to work around.

    The question is what will we allow them to get away with, not how far will they try to take things. We should be clear on that.

  I just read an article about a ballot box being lit on fire in a heavily blue locale. After my initial horror I thought why there as opposed to anywhere else blue? There’s a tight contest for the house rep in that district, a purple district.
