Much as I often disagree with Jetta I am with him here. I don't think he is taking a leftist view of taxation but rather objecting to some people getting favorable tax structures not available to the rest of us in our capacities of small to medium businesses or our personal taxes.
I agree, except I don’t want their taxes raised to match mine, I want mine lowered to match theirs. i want the same tax breaks, the same tax bracket for every small, medium, and big business, as well as personal taxes. Lower all of our taxes, we all pay the same percentage, and cut the nonsense government waste money on in order to do so.
No disagreement here!
Ooh. Better change that word to something less violent. Because when you say "fight" it obviously always means violence. Unless you're an off the rails progressive. Then you get to be as violent as you want to be. Just carry the right signage.
Why not allow the authorities too do their job and maintain their 230 protections?It looks to me like the big tech companies help each other, to sort of promote or protect each other. How to prove that in court I don't know. Of course it still has to be litigated, but Amazon's accusation is pretty clear. That Parler did not make reasonable efforts to remove those kinds of posts.
There's a list floating around the internet of some "parleys" (for those unfamiliar, they're analogous to "tweets") that Amazon used in their brief in response to Parler's request for an injunction. They allege that those parleys were not taken down even after being warned about them. Also, it looked like Amazon was saying that they've been discussing this issue with Parler for weeks, not days. So that predates the insurrection. I'll be interesting to see how this plays out. I kinda think Parler will lose.
For those of you losing your ****, fixin' ta hit reply "how dare you take big tech's side"because I said that, it's an "is" discussion, not a "should" discussion. Personally, I suspect some of it is big tech trying to stamp out newcomers into the space, so that they can continue to control what they control now. I'd really like to see that exposed through all of this somehow. But it does not sound like Parler help themselves any.
Hell. If it was my company on the line, I'd make sure the ToU at least covers their own requirements from Amazon's ToS. I'd also be looking to hire AI experts to start development immediately on a system to ensure their compliance. I mean, it's their business on the line. For short term, I'd purpose a team to sift through the parlays for offensive language. And some tools could be developed pretty quickly to aid that. And far off planning, I'd be looking at developing an in-house platform to run Parley's services.
His supporters here seem to enjoy paying more money for less freedom.
Meh, Bug already labels me as such.Ooh. Better change that word to something less violent. Because when you say "fight" it obviously always means violence. Unless you're an off the rails progressive. Then you get to be as violent as you want to be. Just carry the right signage.
Seriously, though, I think the "high road" discussion is for pussies. It just comes off as a smarmy sort of virtue signaling. "do better."
.Keep it between the rails. I'm saying what is. Not what should be. You keep arguing against the points you want me to have made so that you have something to argue about.
If it were my company instead of Jeff Bozos, I would heed my lawyers advice too, and put that in the ToS to cover my ass, just in case. And I would hold users of my services to that. You will not allow people to use your platforms running on my services to plot insurrection. Again, their allegation is that Parler did not take steps against users doing this, or even to flag or remove their parlees. And as I said, we'll see as this unfolds whether or not Parler has a decent rebuttal to the accusations.
Doesn't Besos also host Twitter? I read the other day what several national leaders said about Trump getting cut off. The Mexican Prez says he gets death threats via Twitter on a regular basis (and nothing done about it).
