  You'd have to delete the first amendment to allow the government to regulate speech and that'd be a disaster.

  The right is trying to ban abortion and end no fault divorce. They're trying to force religion upon kids. They're standing in the way of any laws that would curb gun violence. Several right wing governors refused summer time free lunch aid for children because kids should be punished for their parent's actions. And DeSantis passed a law making it illegal to mention climate change. Those are all far right ideas that most Americans find disgusting. And what are you worried about? Drag queens bringing joy and enthusiasm for reading --the horrors! I'm so glad people like you have your priorities in order.

  I think a major reasoning behind this is that younger viewers just aren't tuning into sports as much as they used to. If they want to stay relevant they have to be relevant to young people instead of just expecting them to show up as they have been able to in the past.

  Dude, I adore a submissive guy but you're sucking corporate cock way too hard.

  If we're criminal scumbags you're a child trafficking terrorist whose worship of capitalism means your worship the domination of children and women forced into the sex industry. Because the market gleefully supports that industry, it's only evil government trying to stop their rights to make money.

  Your brain is a an understaffed Aldi with rotting vegetables and lots of condensed milk.

  I'm impressed, employing William S. Burroughs' cut-up method of writing out your script then cutting all the words up and randomly rearranging them. Next time, take less DMT before publishing.

• On the post: The US Banning TikTok Would Play Right Into China’s Hands, And Destroy Decades Of US Work On Promoting An Open Internet

  Tik Tok is not broadcast media, such rules would not apply to them. FARA is for literal paid K Street style lobbyists, it's not required for random foreigners to contact Congress and express concerns even if they work for Tencent. Contract law is what gives property rights to owners not the Constitution. The Constitution prevents the government from fucking with people's property rights. It is a ban. It's moronic to pretend otherwise. Just because people can speak elsewhere doesn't make it not a ban. We're shutting down the Taylor Swift show but there's plenty of other concerts to go see tonight so we didn't ban Taylor Swift.

  Russia doesn't have a platform in a America and yet it did its best to influence our elections via social media in 2016 and 2020. China can do the exact same thing and is currently doing so, Tik Tok is just one avenue for them to influence reality. Getting rid of Tik Tok eliminates one vector for them to attack from but there are still countless others they can use. Basically getting rid of Tik Tok puts a speed bump in front of China and does little else. A speed bump isn't going to alter their behavior or stop them from misbehaving.

  These days they're probably being told to read 50 AI generated articles to post the five "funniest" and not writing anything at all.

  If Bandai Namco wants to slaughter the gaming community's good will towards Fromsoft they should keep up the stupidity.

  The sacred line must go up and if it does not people's livelihoods must be sacrificed to make it go up. Far better to fire 100 essential workers than 1 executive taking a pay cut.

  Life is a breeding ground for mental illness thanks to the degradations inflicted by capitalism and the patriarchy, both of which conservatives venerate. Social media allows marginalized people to form community outside of those controls, which is why certain people shout how much they love freedom while taking actions to suppress freedom like Musk the perpetual motion machine of hypocrisy.

  It's private people's money until people realize there's 999 of us and 1 of them and if they don't self regulate their actions the people will one way or another. And a good chunk of that wealth came from them taking over 85% of all productivity gains the workers make during the last four decades. They had a legal right to take those gains. We have a legal right to pass legislation to tax their wealth we created.

  I hate it when social media censors me calling friends f****** too, it's annoying. We're gay, we get to call each other that if we want to.
