Yes but no is all I have to say to that.
Facebook and friends are all platforms and not publishers. They are dancing on that line. If they go on to be publishers they lose, I assume the boards of these companies arent that stupid. They will change course soon enough. If they don't change course they will get sued out of existence.
To the point of they get massive tax breaks and the technology all comes from the military is true but that is also true for like 99% of things on the market. I don't have a huge problem with that. All these tech companies pay taxes. Probably not as much as they should but they pay taxes. Thats not even accounting for the people they employ and the shitton of taxes those people pay considering how well tech companies pay.
If you loophole them into more taxes they will leave and export the jobs they created elsewhere. It'll be the same story as exporting manufacturering to China. @Fitzydog
Fair enough response
I think he does make a few good points but I feel like the majority of what he says is almost fear mongering.
The best one is the platform vs publisher
And I 100% agree with him.
That was mostly what I was showing it for
Something I forget to mention in our conversation.
I've heard the argument before just slipped my mind.
Looks like this fight is gonna escalate
I doubt Dankula's stance on not paying his fine no matter what has changed.
Welp.
Guess the UK's gonna jail a man for mocking the Nazis.
That'll show the Nazis!
if you want to see the inside of a chinse jail , pack a few bubbles in your luggage when you go there. they are not found of missionaries of any religion there and most get turned away at the border
Bibles?
Yep more persecution
bibles are baned in china and smugling it will land you in jail
Okay, so not bubbles
Some people don't understand literature
Uhhhh what the fuck?!
I mean that poem was exactly for the banning of Alex Jones.
Nuh uh!! That poem was against the Nazis!
Kinda. It was the government implied in the poem. But social media giants also work.
THEY'RE NOT THE NAZIS
Ehhhhhhhhh
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I want to argue that point but I am approaching the point where it's becoming almost indefensible
It's not that the tech companies don't have taxes to pay it's that they use loopholes to not have ro pay them
Make them pay what they are required by law to pay
By the final intent of the law
Close the loopholes
Be done with it
No, these states and cities literally give tax breaks in exchange for moving to their city.
@Ruggwain the problem is you would need to completly redo the tax code for example Ford has an engine plant near me the point of that plant is to loose as much money as humanly possible on paper while manufacturing the engines that they need to distribute. This is why people wonder why youtube is still around when it looses so much money it is offsetting something else to reduce the tax burden of the company.
Ffs America
If your tax system is so fucked
