    I don’t agree with it, but there’s a good chance they’ll win on the basis of the 1st Amendment.

        The dude is convinced he can “win” by out-procreating everyone else, it’s obvious he has some very serious mental issues that need addressing but he’ll never actually do the work required to be better. He’s exactly like the Quiverfull people trying to out-populate their perceived enemies, assuming their descendents will follow their same credo.

    They did more than influence the past election, and have plans to do the same in the upcoming ones… so ofcourse any regulation against these plans must be taken away.

      It’s a huge part of the business model. Social Media is valuable for its data on people, and for its ability to manipulate and influence people.

      You could, but it would just be limited reach. There is no way to fight back using his own platform beyond just not going there.

        Something that has been bothering me lately. Reasonable people who counter the toxic misinformation leaving the platform only allows the disease to grow and spread. But reality is they weren’t reaching the people that needed the dose of reality anyway. And then I realized that the algorithms have always been the disease, my feeds are my own echo chamber to drive engagement, just as theirs are. I’ve pretty much cut all social networks out. The only way to change minds is honest respectable conversation, and I am not a person to change anyone’s mind.

        We’re fucked
