Anyone have the background link explaining this?
That's who I was thinking of when I first had the thought. Thanks for the reminder
The ones pushing the lies and propaganda, we’re going after them
While lies are tortuously liable (grounds for civil recovery rather than a crime), criminally punishing propaganda and speech would be a textbook violation of the First Amendment.
*Edit: I thought money was speech
Evil has a way to endure. Just look at Mitch McConnell.
This is what brought me to lemmy
Samsies. Reddit is bending the knee to big money
When he stops targeting an entire group of people with the ad hominem that they're all child predators, I'll stop calling him Elmo.
He'd probably lift them for the "correct" people (read as those who agree with him).
It seems Lemmy is where Reddit was 10 years ago.
Reddit is a publicaly traded company, and fElon has more money that countries. So, he could literally just buy Reddit and turn it into a propaganda machine. Glad I left. There are some UI stuff that I will miss (like having sub-reddits as a fast-access at the top of the page, or that replies to a posting on Reddit would be indented, or /r/place), but I'll survive here.
