During the days of 3 TV stations and a local newspaper, information was highly compressed. Americans were all fed the American dream bullshit 24/7. There was us, and then the rest of the world. Good vs bad. Even the Chinese hasn’t been able to control what people see, read, and hear. If a person can’t find something on the internet, well they’re just not that smart. If there’s any single problem that the internet has created its too much information, along with a lot of bullshit information. Enter QAnon.

Just a reaction to your comment on how stupid people are for using it as their sole source of information. Personally I become more and more uneasy over the amount of power and control these corporations wield over people in general. I've always believed that businesses can do as they please as well as reap the repercussions. In this case there will never be any push back that will make any difference because of the size and scope of these corporations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Oddly enough... there are actual lefties and liberals out there using their heads for the first time saying..... "What if they come after us next?" Doesn't surprise me one bit the air heads here are hoping they are the ones to get eaten last. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without question. 1 hour ago, frenchy said: private industry has always held the means to control information flow. The only bad part about this is how many stupid people rely on these sources as their sole source of 'information' now. So whats your answer? 54 minutes ago, Skidude600 said: I don't have a problem with information. Wasn't my point. My point was leave it all out there and let the chips fall where they may. Agreed, but remove the Sect. 230 protections and let them operate that way. 3 minutes ago, Matt said: Twitter is commonly used by the antifa losers to incite unrest and violence.

Snake Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 If one were a conspiracy type, one would think they are trying to control the information one can have access to. Where have I seen that before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case it is more of a removal of a custom made government Loophole than a new regulation. Seems to me if they want to provide news content than they should play under the same rules as everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve dug so many rabbit holes that it looks like a bad, drunken gang bang. The origin of every new conspiracy can be traced right back to a trump tweet. These have been the most mindless and easily mislead people I’ve ever witnessed. Edited January 9, 2021 by ActionfigureJoe 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
