  1. I just saw a headline that says "Steve King Demands List of Google Staff So He Can Check If They're God-Fearing Patriots" Thank fuck this guy is leaving Congress, hopefully forever.

  2. I like the idea of rich snobs and politicians requiring technical support but don't want to lower themselves to speaking to a peasant, so they call the Indian CEO of the company just for them.

  3.  @trentmiller612  Should we never talk about how iPhones and MAGA hats are made in China too? I think your racism compass is broken.

  5. Just another theatrical example of how the Right and "Left" establishment politicians get all the peasants to fight over non-existent issues and completely forget about the real problems in this world like the monumental amount of class inequality in America.

  6. I think SESTA and FOSTA laws (the laws that shut down half of Craigslist) are the biggest indicator that nearly EVERYONE in Congress is too old to be making laws about the Internet. If you know anything about those laws you would know that even Democrats were too stupid to make serious analyses on the impact of those laws. They quite Literally brought back PIMPS to modern day America by enacting those laws because they think the Internet causes sex trafficking.

  7. The headline that immediately followed this hearing was "Steve King Demands List of Google Staff So He Can Check If They're God-Fearing Patriots" Kill me now.

  8. @Mike P Do you have proof that they've been "able to rebuild after a little time"? Because there have been ongoing reports of sex workers having to go back to relying on pimps and finding other methods to get by. It wasn't just detrimental to sex workers either, who now have a far more dangerous job because of it (and in many cases are way more likely to be victims of sex trafficking), but it's also crushing for website owners, content creators, and developers who make a living off of these things and are now completely liable for what anyone says on their websites. You realize what those laws say right? Entire websites can be shut down if someone random is doing something illegal on their sites even if the owners or administrations don't know about it because forum websites are sometimes too huge to keep account of. Taking into account that those laws don't do shit to stop sex trafficking in the slightest because as you said "they were able to rebuild over time" which, if it's even true, almost exclusively applies to people doing illegal activity, then what the fuck is the point of those laws if not to just crush Internet freedoms and liberties of people who were obeying the laws before. If anything it pushes "online sex traffickers" even deeper into the onion of the Internet and possibly more into the dark web. If that's the case, then you have those people, who were easy to investigate before, now are using completely anonymous forms of communication and far harder to investigate. All you're doing is pushing them into the shadows and punishing law abiding citizens in its place.

  9. Notice how nearly all their questions were directed about themselves and why there was bad news about them.
