Banning something is a sure fire way to give it oxygen.
Depends. Stephen says he was told not to tell anyone on air that they couldn’t air it. Assuming that’s true, and he had decided to comply, no one really would have known. It’s only through his (presumed) bravery that we’ve all seen it.
I mean you could just take the loss? But I guess shareholders wouldn’t be happy about that.
No one 😮💨 Everyone hates freedom of speech when it’s speech they don’t like.
I fear for the future of reading comprehension
I fear for it currently if you think it’s okay to make up things people said and put it in a headline.
Replace “those who oppose the current regime” with “all Americans” and it’s exactly the same thing.
You suggested that people should boycott all American companies because of their government. I don’t know how I’m supposed to interpret that any other way.
That’s a mischaracterization.
Then correct me. Because you’re speaking out both sides of your mouth.
I wish them luck
It sounds like you genuinely wish them the opposite, since you’re encouraging others to boycott their businesses for the crime of existing in America.
Why is that important?
Why wouldn’t that be important? You’re punishing people who have absolutely nothing to do with, and actively oppose, the things you’re talking about, while the people responsible are completely unaffected.
I don’t know that they crippled anything. I still regularly see posts from a few users. The problem is that they just half-assed it. It’s unidirectional. So you can see and reply to their posts, and they can see your replies (or they use to be able to) but they can’t do anything back. They can’t follow you or reply to anything. It’s also opt-in, and almost no one cared enough to do that.
I think the reason they did it in the first place was to avoid regulatory scrutiny but any shits given about that previously are completely gone now since we transitioned into a corporate utopia.
What does that even mean?
Man I sure hope the gov sees the writing on the wall and just lets it die. There’s no “bailing out” a company that has no path to profitability. At least the auto and housing industries existed for hundreds of years prior.
You realize not everyone in the US supports the bullshit taking place, right?
This is something the federal government actually should be regulating under interstate commerce
They should. Instead they’re not only not doing that, but they’re writing executive orders that make it illegal for states to do exactly that.
It’s not if but when. Hopefully sooner rather than later. And you’re a fool if you think the implications won’t be felt around the world. Just like they were when Americans rammed the housing market into the ground. We live in a global economy.
That’s 1 day. Guaranteed if someone walked in and said “I want to buy all the water you can sell for the next 9 months”, they’d be singing a very different tune.
Same as everyone else? Because it’s a more cost-effective way of storing data?
Yes but are they sold out for the entirety of 2026?
What about SSDs?
…those are 2 opposite things.
