I despise the US from the bottom of my heart, and I am a big China fan, and yet at the same time I don’t want anyone to handle our data. We need data sovereignty. Our data stays here and that’s it. Not in the US. Not in China. Not anywhere else.

So what exactly are they censoring by just not using a platform?

Yet another case of the poor funneling their money to the 1%.

The working class pays local taxes to fund the police and the fire department. The 1% make money by operating on a business model that relies on these taxpayer funded services to unfuck their product out of fucked situations. Thus the taxpayers unwillingly subsidize the 1% with their tax money. As such, the taxpayer funded services degrade because the fire department/police department have to babysit a private company’s products instead of attending to business they’re actually paid to do.

And that’s how it begins. Soon they’ll start asking everyone to provide ID to access the internet.
