      I have this discussion with a lot of people from the left, who often say they need to occupy those spaces and not let them be only a cesspool for conservative spiel. However, what they don’t seem to understand no matter how fucking much I tell them, is that you cannot win a game your opponent controls the rules. The only solution to traditional social media is to pressure the government to ban it. Not regulation, bans are the only way.

      Not just refusing to remove disinformation, but also actively removing the accounts of Lula supporters and for a brief time Lula’s official campaign account.

      All because Zuck specifically hired Joel Kaplan in 2009 to “engender closer ties to conservatives”. Joel Kaplan, who as a Bush Lawyer, participated in the Brooks Brothers riot of 2000, which stopped the recount in Florida, and then was rewarded with a Bush Whitehouse position.
