Then proceed to allow foreign propaganda, Nazi propaganda, pseudo science, granola madness and lies permeate their platforms, resist AI legislation, wreck portions of the federal government with DOGE, and kowtow to autocracy so they can realize their Ayn Rand wet dream - now with crypto.
It’s almost as if the senile fuckmuppet still had the right instinct within his fried synapses.

They also hate the European Union for the same reason. European democracies actually have the balls to regulate tech companies to stop them from raping their citizens privacy and spreading authoritarian racist propaganda. Of course, smooth brained republicans can’t see the difference between the EU and China because they have this idea of "free speech absolutism." This idea is basically, no matter how stupid or destructive somebody’s ideas are, we all have to let them manipulate society for the worse just "because."

Unless they’re socialist leaning, then they don’t count and should be censored, according to the free speech people.

the only Dell computers I would ever have now are second-hand
I checked a list of episodes of the webcast called Behind the Bastards (which I never bothered to listen to but anyway) and they have not covered Michael Dell yet. The Reptile Peter Theil was not listed by name either.

The whole anti-NATO and anti-EU push is because portions of the FAANG/Magnificent Seven are pissy about data privacy laws.
Free speech absolutism usually is just “my speech counts.” It ends up being a poisoned lake when people spew mindless hate and propaganda of any political stripe that manipulates facts.

Feels like each country takes a turn at fining them and getting their wad of hundred million euros, then the next country gets their cut and so on. I do like that Europe at least says they are looking out for their people... system still seems broken though.

Don’t get me wrong, it sounds nice in theory, but in practice when you realize how stupid some people are and how they never shut up and never change their mind…

Well, the thing is, if for example, Google is based in the United States, Google doesn’t have to pay the EU money if the EU sues them. They’re not entitled to operate their business outside of the United States, there’s no right or protection for that under international law. They just have a choice, either they can pay whatever fine or they can be blocked in Europe. The United States does the same thing with Chinese tech companies all the time. As they say, all is fair in love and war or whatever (emphasis on war).

It’s the natural thing for the digital railroad barons of our current Gilded Age to want unfettered universal reach. But at least the infrastructure magnates built bridges, rail, steel works. The current crew want to divert your attention to brain rot and tiny classified ads. There is no higher purpose.
I’d give anything for the 2008 era Google search engine that isn’t larded with Indian SEO scams and Temu garbage. Enshittification is real.

> Something’s gotta give.
I’m not sure what. I don’t want 1970s wannabe guerrillas blowing shit up. And I don’t want dumb regulation that doesn’t understand the problem. It seems the U.S. swings from one direction to another with bipolar policies.
I would reclassify all share repurchases as stock manipulation as they were treated before 1982. Or at least confine them to companies with certain cash reserves. Repurchases add nothing to a company - not CAPEX or expansion or new products.
Ideally, I’d also release an anonymizer - better than Tor - to break the business model of online tracking and mining PI.

I’m not describing it well. It would be like a Tor but it would mix and match online behaviors and profiles so as to create a worthless repository.

I’m not a Bidencel, I stand with the tech oligarchs because the CEO of Google moggs Joe Biden. I’d take authoritarian Google surveillance state over Joe Biden democracy 100 times over. It’s not because I agree with Alphabet and what they’re doing with the NSA, it’s purely because Sundar Pichai is ethnicitymaxxing and Joe Biden is subhuman.

tying up niggers inside the crypto miner complexes to the crypto miners can rape niggers too ~<3
