  1. We accept that newspapers and tv channels have a political leaning. I can only see social media will divide. We just need alternative companies to rise.

  2. He stuck to his principles and has fallen on the right side.

  3. They need anti-trust actions against them. First they need to break up hosting services from social media services. Hosts can enjoy the status of a utility but they cannot refuse to host a platform unless it breaks the law. Social media services can have a political bias just as a newspaper or a TV station does but they do not have the status of a utility, they are a publisher. Problem is it will never happen under Biden.

  4. Surely the fund will be used to pay for the restrictions to continue or the next step of the end game.

  6. How much does it really cost to run Twitter? It's just a glorified instant messenger app.

  7. Was thinking the same. Elon pumps and dumps so he can get peoples money to fund his exploding rockets.

  8. It's interesting. I have been saying that many crypto's are not decentralised. The ledger might be but the algorithms that govern the currency are decided by groups of developers. Crypto has moved that away from bankers and into the hands of techocrats. I have also heard Elon saying that bitcoin won't work as a currency because it has a limit on the number of bitcoins, therefore it is deflationary. He advocated dodge coin because it has no limit. Limited currency being deflationary and therefore not operating as a medium of exchange is an argument I have also been putting out. I've posted both these arguments on Dominic Frisby's channel and the Tim Cast. On both channels I got a similar response from the channel. The responses prompted me to contact a whats app phone number. The number was different on each channel but the replies had the same appearance and they both came from the channel - not another user. It appears that the same party is behind both responses and they are able to post the response from the channel. So that means the party is behind both channels.

  9. These tech companies are no different to any other media outlet. They cannot help but gravitate towards one political side. Just like a newspaper does. Other companies that favour the right will rise.

  10. If they ban parler then people wanting to organise such events can only go to twitter, fb etc. So are they going to close those down? If not then what are they going to do? They have to ban individuals.

  11. Prince Harry really is a figure of the times. One of those who draw attention to themselves through prostitution or controversy. All to gain wealth and celebrity. One of the trash people. He will not last long on this path.

  12. Isn't Russian and Putin a bit of a distraction? Surely it's all about China.

  13. The tv world has companies that just offer a transmission service for any channel who pays and is within the law. Again the IT world will go the same way. The market is there. The final pinch point is the ISP. Can always block sites from the ISP.

  14. I wonder if Klutin is worried about this. Is a senile old man less of a threat because he cannot organise a country any more than he can control his bladder, or more of a threat because he is unpredictable?

  15. Facebook terrible innovators. Just like Microsoft always were. Their operating system was always flakey and they main bought other companies for their products and rebranded them. Thats how MS-DOS began.

  16. I agree with the sentiment, but how can the figures Paul Joseph Watson quoted, be true? Of that 2.2 million pounds of CO2, the majority would have been from the Air Force One flight. 2.2 million pounds is 1 million kilograms, of 500,000 kgs each way. The maximum take off weight of Air Force One is only 375,000 kgs. I don't know how they arrive at any of these CO2 figures.

  17. Just like Google and Alphabet. Distancing themselves from tax avoidance publicity.

  18. I hate to say it but I think Trump will be impeached. It was a different story when he was president but now he is out and Biden has the power it will be different.

  19.  @jailbreak852  I hope so.

  20. If the choice is between inflationary money or deflationary money I choose static money.

  21. Lightning starts fires, a bit of glass magnifying sunlight. Once I was in a forest sitting on a fallen log and noticed to my left the rotten log had a plume of smoke rising from it. The heat from the sun just starts fires. But sometimes it is people starting them on purpose.
