If the advertisers don't care for censoring, why did so many of them pull out of running their ads on Tucker Carlson after the left decided he should be canceled?

2021-02-17 15:58:22 UTC  

I think you forgot the part where people value privacy.

2021-02-17 15:58:47 UTC  

Not to mention after this whole thing with Google and FB and others, I'm far more cautious about giving my data to anyone, competitor to Google or not.

2021-02-17 15:59:16 UTC  

thats not censorship

2021-02-17 15:59:22 UTC  

and most of the server farms of these platforms are in china

2021-02-17 15:59:25 UTC  

thats just not wanting to put your brand on that station / attach your brand to those particular views

2021-02-17 16:00:01 UTC  

In an attempt to make them get rid of Tucker due to lack of money coming in through ad revenue, though. That's where it becomes, in my mind, a bit of a censorship issue.

2021-02-17 16:00:08 UTC  

depends what we are talking about but facebook, google, microsoft are all mostly US/EU based datacenters

2021-02-17 16:00:24 UTC  

sure, but what are you going to do? say that they HAVE to put their money into tucker carlson?

2021-02-17 16:00:52 UTC  

No, however it does kinda go against the idea that the companies don't care for censorship, only about making money and getting their brand out there.

2021-02-17 16:00:55 UTC  

I had a very intriguing conversation with my parents about this 'censorship' and there were some stark conclusions that I was able to make.

2021-02-17 16:01:00 UTC  

I mean

2021-02-17 16:01:05 UTC  

what are you going to do?

2021-02-17 16:01:34 UTC  

for example Gina Carano... she is in some respects a public figure of disney

2021-02-17 16:01:36 UTC  

Honestly? I don't know. Most of the ideas that I've had would involve compromising principals at one stage or another.

2021-02-17 16:01:41 UTC  

if she says something they dont like

2021-02-17 16:01:51 UTC  

they have every right to fire her

2021-02-17 16:02:07 UTC  

its a public company

2021-02-17 16:02:11 UTC  

we are allowed to upset by that

2021-02-17 16:02:26 UTC  

but its not like legislation would be a good solution

2021-02-17 16:02:32 UTC  

Yes, and they also have the right to keep someone like Rian Johnson on their payroll, despite his shit opinions, which is why I make it a point to not give any money to Disney.

2021-02-17 16:02:50 UTC  

yep

2021-02-17 16:02:58 UTC  

I would agree there is a hypocrisy

2021-02-17 16:03:03 UTC  

I don't think legislating a solution would be a good idea, because I don't want to set that precedent. That's why I said I don't know what to do from here, because virtually every solution I can think of has something like that in there.

2021-02-17 16:03:03 UTC  

Lmao biden wont cancel student debt

2021-02-17 16:03:08 UTC  

Cope bidentards

2021-02-17 16:03:18 UTC  

and I actually kind of hit a brick wall when my parents suggested that you just... dont say anything

2021-02-17 16:03:32 UTC  

"What are you going to do to make that happen?"
"I'm not."
I really don't like Biden but that shit was funny

2021-02-17 16:03:37 UTC  

because while I almost entire disagree with that sentiment,

2021-02-17 16:04:04 UTC  

I guess I would be fine with people not speaking out, except that liberals do it routinely and dont have any consequence

2021-02-17 16:04:19 UTC  

how’s gun control doing

2021-02-17 16:04:24 UTC  

is HR 127 gonna pass

2021-02-17 16:04:51 UTC  

Highly unlikely but possible

2021-02-17 16:05:15 UTC  

In which case, guns, boating accident, you know the drill.

2021-02-17 16:06:03 UTC  

What’s funny is in 1981 when the first email was actually sent I knew exactly where it was as in the computer club our instructor was a static of this revelation as I was learning ASCII and Fortran Back then and some kid asked me if I need to know how to work a discord. Now that’s funny

2021-02-17 16:07:00 UTC

2021-02-17 16:07:46 UTC
