Lauren has basically retired, and Molymeme had a shot fired across his bow basically telling him to STFU or else.

Soon balance will be restored as you are told what you are allowed and want to watch again

molyneux is pushing on though, will be interesting to see if they shut him down

i think we are going to see opinions become extremely narrow

Only the right opinions will be allowed

Go off the reservation and ban 🔨

Tim has to self censor himself

Antitrust when

I...I love my corporate overlords... Th-thank you for allowing me to s-speak my mind on the internet about... how much I agree with you!

I guess the gamble is to try to restrict right wing speech in order to win control of congress, because if the left wins control of congress then they won't have to fear regulation of media.

I agree tim

i think the big question is if the media companies will maintain legitimacy in the public eye or lose it and just be considered retarded

I haven't been able to understand Tim's pessimism.

I think you may have forgotten the full gamut of how this turns out

They only have to fear repercussions if they lose the midterms.

And with the current financial institutions going after cryptocurrency

It will be bleak and then the Myspaces will crumble.

Its not a conspiracy they just dont want to bother with evaluating so they will demonetize or ban almost everything

Constant shedding of snakeskins.

We don't really have the luxury of waiting for social media giants to collapse and hoping whatever replaces them isn't worse.

God I hope so, but they'll have to really fuck up to make more than a small minority decide that creating something new is worth the effort over living in the ruins

Minds have some potential

... Ya we do.

We totally have that luxury of waiting.

I dont know about the others

they still have a lot of momentum for quite a while because they still have all the juicy content and participants

Minds has potential but tim is right its a chain

That's like saying arctic waters didn't have the luxury of waiting to spill into the titanic.

your negative opinion of youtube means nothing if you still use it because thats where the party is

Whats super scary is the 3-d gun censorship that isp was doingh

They were banning access to the site

Thats fucked up

thats news to me. sounds pretty fucked

after it was legal again?

or when it was deemed illegal for a period

T mobile i believe banned it first

wonder if they had government breathing down their necks

If the left controls all platforms of speech and uses that to gain and retain political power, then they'll be more than happy to keep pumping money into these platforms. If they control congress they can even give them government contracts.

No fear of monopolies being busted up, and they can use market power to crush upstarts.

They're clearly all colluding.

And even payment processors are involved.
