Facebook and big tech is the enemy. Just like the bell tephond company was back in the day.
> @dichuz91/Mulitin Dunar yes, but with fb banning & censorship. Plus everything else, we need a stable, secure gathering point
@TheMousez fair point
wait what did bell do?
So what was that 4chan shit earlier
Bell did basically what Facebook is doing now
Charging whatever they want and refusing service to people they didn't like
Basically early phone tapping & restrictions
That's why AT&T is a thing
Also that
This country actually has a very rich antitrust history
We've broken up Big Telecom, Big Oil, etc.
$600 long distance bills before the internet calling other computers
Oops lol
Bell had literally everyones phone numbers and fucked with people they didint like. So the government brought the banhammer.
That too
Remember "free nights & weekends"
yup
remember dial up internet, and you'd pray no one would call
And I just gave away my age lol
I remember getting a 600 dollar bill from Verizon. Never paid it cause fuck that. Unlimited my ass.
Using computers like wargame movie

hahaha amazing
i'm old enough to remember back in the day when direct TV cable boxes used to read your package plan of a little credit card like thing they put in it, and if it was removed you wouldn't be able to watch tv
There was a way to get around that and I think it was the hard reset.
