As are many judges.

Few years ago I would have agreed. Now, it is guaranteed this is some sort of grift. No conspiracy theory need apply.

Thinking about the whole "Antifa is a terror organization" announcement from our dear leader.

Next step: "It is un-American not to have Disney+ in your household. Only members of Antifa or trans people don't have Disney+. It will be mandatory for every patriotic God loving US citizen to have Disney+ in their home and on at least three hours per week. Anyone found not to be watching the party approved level of Disney programming will be taxed $21.99 per month and the proceeds put into a new 'Mickey Patriot Fund'."

A-fucking-men

Here's the thing... I want to be sold something. Not anything, but certain somethings. There was a brief time when Google AdSense was new that I was excited for the experience. (I now know how fucking stupid I was, but hey, I was young).

The idea that a new product aligned to my interests and designed with me in mind would be advertised to me instead of feminine hygiene products or mesothelioma lawsuit ads seemed awesome.

I do not want your bullshit hype machine alpha male inside club cool kid image peddled as the reason I should hand you my money. You've got the wrong guy. Tell me what it does with a side of what I can do with it. And the "what I can do with it" shouldn't be "get laid".

Goddamnit. Sitting here ready to subscribe to crow facts and you got me with a freakin pinion joke.

Well done.

Anyone who bought one of these ridiculous monstrosities and didn't expect ads is an idiot.

So, then, according to corpo logic, you've setup a system that automatically repeatedly breaks the law (copyright , maybe? Ianal).

And if the liability is on you for hosting a federation service with no control over the content and you are accountable for the replicated content, then it is effectively the end of federation. Again, not a lawyer but given how much the law favors corps over individual rights in the US it seems like it would track.

In your analogy I think Google sells chainsaws, lumber, wood stoves, and paper pulp.

Glorious.

This is my last hope for America as we know it: MAGAts destroy themselves once their Christ figure is gone. It could devolve as you describe, but it might also be just the lull to prompt recovery.
