Just trying to help here

by liberal japonicus

Given the median age around these parts, I post this article as a public service.

Since Twitter and Facebook banned Donald Trump and began “purging” QAnon conspiracists, a segment of the chattering class has been making all sorts of wild proclamations about this “precedent-setting” event. As such, I thought I’d set the record straight.

Click on the twitter thread at the end, hours of hilarity. Even more when you realize the original tweeter graduated from the same school as Trump.

Everyone has their best theory.

Have a weekend.

I may be transgressing ObWi rules here, but nooneIthinkisinmytree and John Thullen sure do seem to be the same person, and I am sick of him/them spamming threads.

Any chance something can be done about that?

Not just the devices, but public policy that does little or nothing to protect individuals from all of the undesirable ways that data can be used. And policies that give relatively free reign to intelligence and police to collect, review, and use that data in prosecution and generally monitoring what people do, say, write, read, listen to, and think.

Hoist by their own deregulatory, free market, authoritarian petard(s). So be it.

Yeah. Done.

Thank you, JDT.

My wife got me a fitbit for Christmas. I look at it as an alibi machine. I'm a pretty boring guy.

Please don't stop posting music links, JDT. Just a request, not a command, despite the declarative sentence!
