Black Rock, and it's Chief Officers, will never have to worry about the law. They pretty much are above it. Heck, the CEO said, in an interview, that if one of their employees don't believe what they believe, then they will make them believe it, and that they will only hire people of a certain race. Nothing ever happened to them, and it was brushed under the rug.

May people have tried to go after them and expose them, but those reporters quickly "lost interest" and will not talk about why.

I hate any censorship...I
We should assume (as a society) that people can figure out what's true or not...censorship makes it twice as hard to find out exactly what's true or not by only getting half the story...

TBH, I don't trust that people can figure it out and that makes censorship that much more dangerous. The vax was a good example; the left did a pretty good job suppressing the anti-vax crowd. I think Rob and I did a decent a job of presenting the facts and the math behind the vax. OTOH, you didn't see that type of messaging out there very much. Fauci would be on multiple outlets daily and all he had to say (most of the time) was wear mask, get jab.

Hence why you once again elected a guy who wanted to turn back Section 230, so that online platforms could be held liable for what third parties posted on their site.

How would the online platforms protect themselves from that liability of being held liable? BY CENSORING CONTENT TO AN EXTREME.
They would have filters that were tighter than a clam's ***, and posts would be wiped before they ever made it to a screen other than the poster's.
What platform owner wants to be held liable for what YOU say? Certainly not THIS one. The very first line of their TOS is: "The providers ("we", "us", "our") of the service provided by this web site ("Service") are not responsible for any user-generated content and accounts. Content submitted express the views of their author only."
That line wouldn't mean squat if Trump got his way. They WOULD be responsible, and WOULD pay in a lawsuit.

Maybe he'll get his way this time around. That should make you happy.

If people could figure shit out, you wouldn't have 75 million idiots voting for a ****** convicted felon, and getting him back into office, while believing every lie he tells.
Even the most BASIC shit like "Mexico will pay for us to build a wall to keep Mexicans out". They couldn't figure out that was a lie when he first told it, and many likely still don't know. Probably blame it on "Everyone was just out to get him and ruined his plan".

Why are you so damn angry? Do you really think everyone needs to be like you, think like you, vote the way you vote?

No other person or entity should ever be responsible for something one individual says. Only THAT person should be responsible for their words. Not that much should be done about that either, they are ******* words. If words hurt you then you were looking for a reason to be a soft little **** anyway. You should be more worried about running out of Vagisil for that sandy cooter.

I like TheQuartering. So a radical feminist goes on a shooting spree after months of being told that Trump was going to strip women of their rights, Trump being elected was tantamount to The Handmaids Tale come to fruition, etc, etc, etc. Of course the people running with that narrative never mentioned that Trump was against and Federal restrictions on abortion and cautioned the GOP on restricting abortion.

I think it's safe to say that the "convicted ******" narrative most certainly contributed to this girl's delusional and hostile view of men and the world in general Thanks a bunch left wing socialist 4th wave feminazis. This is the result of your man hating rhetoric.

Not quite car sized, but that's a big drone.

Given that tech platforms were already censoring and in rather biased fashion, I don't see the big issue.

Given Trump's position at Truth Social, the influence of Twitter/X on the election and Trump's successful little run on podcasts, I think we're safe from "Extreme Censoring."

I guess you missed the part that he said he hates censorship and then votes to have censorship get even worse.

Not that much should be done about that either, they are ******* words. If words hurt you then you were looking for a reason to be a soft little **** anyway. You should be more worried about running out of Vagisil for that sandy cooter.

And yet you voted for Trump, who wants to repeal Section 230 so that EVERYONE gets to be responsible for what other people say.
Did you not understand that when I JUST posted it, or were you too ******* excited to be able to say "Why are you so damn angry"?

Do you know ANYHTING about the idea of censorship and Section 230, or did you just feel the need to troll and post a useless observation here?

Yeah, he may have a change of heart now that Musk owns him and he owns a platform of his own where HE will take the financial hit in a lawsuit for what someone posts.
Certainly a different situation from when he wanted to sue anyone who said anything simply negative about him. Even satirical.
Remember he wanted it to be "tested in courts" whether it was legal for SNL to make fun of him?

Those are not cheap, and a 10-footer is $27-75K. Being seen everywhere. Thirteen out of a group fo 50 following a Coast Guard boat.
But it's all "hobbyists, airplanes, and stars".

I guess it's better than increasing the panic by admitting they have no idea yet.

This is a little aggravating. I just did a search on the shooter and seems like X and TheQuartering have the most in depth info on the shooter. With all the money and resources ABC, CNN, FoxNews have, some dude with a home studio is kicking their arses all over the place. Either that or Google is suppressing the results.

Did a duckduckgo search and there is info there about the manifesto. Puck you very much google. Changing default search engine. May even switch to the duckduckgo browser.
