I don't think that logical reasoning is your friend.

Lol. Someone is a fan of dumb assumptions. The number of hours of cable news television that I have watched in the last year can be counted on one hand, without the need for any fingers.

But keep assuming.

No, they are not owned by conservative billionaires. They're owned by large corporations who have been coopted by the woke left. And they are spreading massive amounts of lies.

Shall we hold them accountable for their lies too?

So how about MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC etc.?

How about we hold the MSM accountable for all of their lies, too? Pretty selective outrage about lies there.

Meta: if we call it efficiency instead of misery maybe people won't react so negatively.

This will surely stall the inevitable decline of Facebook.

Luckily for Meta, they can rely on Instagram and Whatsapp for revenue.

I mean that's not actually true but you can keep on believing it.

>In recent years, some successful meme pages have expanded to become media empires. IMGN Media, which operates several popular Instagram meme pages including @Daquan, which has over 16.3 million followers, raised $6 million in funding in 2018 to grow its business before being acquired by Warner Music Group in 2020 for just under $100 million. Doing Things Media, which owns a slate of viral meme pages, raised $21.5 million in venture capital funding earlier this year. None of these companies or the accounts they manage have posted violent videos of the nature discussed here.

So basically article tries to conflate objectionable content, which is impossible to completely prevent from being uploaded, and general meme accounts, but at least thankfully ends with an acknowledgement that b has nothing to do with a.

Combine with the pointless fulminating of a useless academic who has no clue about the technology of which she writes and bingo, you have an article.

Awesome, so since the government lied about masks at the outset of the pandemic, which could have and probably did get people killed, they should be silenced, right?

Moreover, both the state of NY and PA forced nursing homes to take back in COVID positive patients. It is proven that in NY this resulted in many more deaths. So again, they should be silenced, right?

How did lying to people about the efficacy of masks and convincing them to not wear masks when at that point masking was better help the welfare of the population? Unless getting more people infected and killed was helping the population???

So it was wrong to advise people to wear masks when the government was intentionally misleading the public and telling them not to? Blind and unquestioning fealty to big brother matters more than honest health information?

If a public company does not disclose that it operates with a substantial political bias, or that it coordinates with intelligence agencies to censor information, then it could be reasonably said that they are misleading investors about salient aspects of their operation.

If this created a serious issue that licensing solves then surely we should find a discernible difference in cases of injuries sustained in salons in states that do not require licensing vs. those that do, right?

Because I doubt there are.

This is my shocked face.

Nice work. This is a good plot.

People not from the region don't realize that as long as you're ok with unpredictable weather and utterly brutal winters, the Dakotas are a great place to live.

Very few people would use Facebook as a paid service. Corporations and self-promoters would pay to have a little symbol beside their name and to have their posts algorithmically boosted. But I doubt Meta would ever try to make the general public pay, because it would accelerate the collapse of their user base.

That is standard behavior with any sort of subscription service.

37000 in the first few weeks. That number will likely grow to at least double by June. And, it's a non trivial revenue stream.

What an insane guy, creating a new revenue stream that ONLY around 100,000 people are paying.

The WNBA has some amazing shooters, including possibly the best free throw shooter in the world (among men or women).

But anyone who thinks a WNBA player could make the NBA simply does not understand basketball.

She would not have played a second in the NBA.

There is no WNBA player who could make an NBA team. Or a D1 college team. D2 would be questionable.

That's not to say they aren't skilled, great athletes--theu are. But it is a different game and they can not compete against professional male players.
