  • Someone must still be responsible for monitoring all this, pulling the trigger on platforms that fit the criteria, and then actually enforcing that trigger pull, though. They will be, by definition, one step behind the public at all times, following them from platform to platform to tell them “you can’t be here anymore”.

    People want X (variable, not ex-twitter), the government doesn’t want people to have X, so the government bans X. The people still have X. This fits into the same nutshell that the War on Drugs does and the drugs are winning that one pretty resoundingly, and you have to actually go out in public and buy those. I don’t see a reason why the War on Social Media is going to go differently especially when anyone can set up a VPN from the comfort and privacy of their living room.



  • California has the fifth largest economy in the world, Texas has half the GDP of California and still manages to post a net loss.

    There’s a reason we clown on Texas about it and that reason is because Texas quite literally cannot survive on its own but screeches constantly about threatening secession. California on the other hand would survive just fine without a single one of the entire rest of the States but they don’t constantly remind everyone of that fact.

    Texas gets made fun of for it because the answer to “Well what would you do without Texas, huh???” is… I’d pay less taxes because Texas wouldn’t be sucking down a bunch of surplus anymore.
