Big tech will have a free hand to do whatever they want.
Maybe even impeachment and god know what else.
Imagine if Infowars wasn't banned, they'd be tearing this bitch apart
And the AIN shit got everyone who ISN'T banned on the defensive.
They're going to kick all the right wingers and gun channels off youtube (and all other platforms) then start pushing for legislation. And with no way to get the word out and organize we won't have any hope of stopping them.
The excuse will be 'fake news' and 'muh russia'.
I think alt-tech needs to create a video streaming sight with something like Superchat
Payment processing is the problem.
PayPal, Stripe, etc, won't do business with them and crypto is too slow.
Payment seems to be the big chokepoint at the moment
Crypto might work if you had a virtual currency for your superchat, like Twitch bits
So the founder for that 3d gun printing company got busted for kiddy fiddling. I think it was a setup.
How was he busted?
The feds say he payed a 16/17 year old girl for sex back in August
Arrested at a Taiwanese hotel and extradited to Houston this week
If he wasn't controversial no one would have cared
If you're a nobody MAYBE you'd get arrested coming back from Taiwan but they won't do that much effort over some JB
I've heard some of the details. It is rather sketchy. Supposedly he was hooked up on a dating website which was supposed to be only for adults. Of course, 16 is age of consent in Taiwan.
I think this just goes to show the Pence rule at all times. We're approaching a world where the men are going to be the ones careful about dating or sex. For their own protection.
Remember in the 50s when it was the women who'd play hard to get?
But if they start a witch hunt, even that might not be enough.
16 is also the age of consent for much of the US.
I must ask why he was on a dating site basically for sex. But that seems aside the point somehow.
So I just looked it up and the first source I found says that he was arrested for paying a 16 year old in Austin TX some time back, and was then arrested for it while in Taiwan. The age of consent in TX is 17.
That would make more sense.
I think the lesson here is not to do prostitution.
Still, it all seems rather suspect when you look into it a bit.
Would be hard to defend, however.

`But entry will now be based on a lottery — and half the seats will be reserved for low-income, homeless and English-language-learning applicants.`
Just how many homeless middle schoolers do you think are going to a performing arts school?
Oh great now you can be racist against dogs too.

Lmao
A football team invested in esports and the fan stopped a match by throwing controllers on the pitch in protest.

Thats..
an expensive protest
Throwing shit onto the field is stupid way to protest. If they are not happy about their team investing into esport they should just stop buying tickets to the games for a month or two.
But now club can make some money by selling second-hand controllers
On the performing arts school; the most qualified kids for performing arts come from trained backgrounds, usually they've done stuff privately at some point. My friends who got into the equivalent of a performing arts middle school were respectively an internationally-recognised traditional Irish dancer, an actress who had been in multiple main roles for theatre productions and TV background roles, and a guitarist who'd been having private lessons since he was about 5
In my university grade, out of the students I've met so far, I'm one of about 10% who don't have professional training, and that's because we learned through experience- I've performed live shows for six years and I've been in two musicals, for example
This is because the performing arts are fucking *hard* to make a career out of, you NEED quality
So logically a meritocratic approach makes sense
