Between a choice of “you will never be arrested for anything, ever, no matter how heinous” vs “You can be arrested at any time for any reason or no reason, at the whim of your government” I cannot say with confidence which of those is worse.

That is the Fediverse. “Threadiverse” was a buzzword made up by Meta when they tried to force attach Threads to us.

Someone must still be responsible for monitoring all this, pulling the trigger on platforms that fit the criteria, and then actually enforcing that trigger pull, though. They will be, by definition, one step behind the public at all times, following them from platform to platform to tell them “you can’t be here anymore”.

People want X (variable, not ex-twitter), the government doesn’t want people to have X, so the government bans X. The people still have X. This fits into the same nutshell that the War on Drugs does and the drugs are winning that one pretty resoundingly, and you have to actually go out in public and buy those. I don’t see a reason why the War on Social Media is going to go differently especially when anyone can set up a VPN from the comfort and privacy of their living room.

This is not sustainable at all and is going to lead to a chain of banning app after platform after app as users move to the next thing and the government struggles to keep up with regulation.

I can’t say I’m surprised by American government clown show tactics at this point but this is, most definitely, clown show tactics.

To be fair his dad’s opinion isn’t one that I respect.

But yes. The man has more money than God and basically his entire family has completely disowned him, with the exception of the baby he carries around as body armor because he isn’t old enough to know what that is yet.

For anyone else in the world I would hope that would be something of a wake up call.

No. But they’ll get it though.

This has turned no tables whatsoever, Facebook/Meta was founded under the intention of abusing their users.
