They are afraid of what Trump and the people will do to them when they know the truth.

It's all a delaying action now. As they retreat, they're setting up obstacles, land mines, and blowing up bridges along our axis of attack.

Engineers forward!

SIR YES SIR! HOW TO REIN IN THE TECHNOCRAT MEDIA COMPLEX:

  • Attack tech market monopolies using antitrust laws to break up vertical markets and media consolidation.

  • Fix patent law to eliminate various types of competition-stifling abuse

  • Scale back copyright monopoly to its original 20-year term.

  • Enforce in-kind donations election laws on large commercial social media platforms who police content.

  • Ban federal subsidies, tax incentives, and contracts from corporations with ownership of platforms that behave against the principle of free speech.

  • Drastically reduce H1b visas

  • Recognize the inherent stewardship responsibilities of corporate entities engaged in computation using private data, including creating liabilities upon institutions that collect, retain, or sell data beyond that which is directly necessary to run their service.

  • Recognize personal tracked data as an owned asset belonging to individuals, and require those that profit from voluntarily tracked data to share generated profits with the persons who opt in to sharing.

  • Use infrastructure already in place for spying on citizens to instead provide a ‘public option’ for hosting and bandwith option, so everyone can publish.

  • Adapt laws that require businesses to share data with government institutions to require the same sharing for individuals to give people the opportunity to ‘exploit’ their own collected data.

  • Incentivize ’small-scale’ startups and services

I also want to add to make their algorithms public so that independent researchers can verify any biases.

Lot easier to just hang the 1M most prominent marxists. Give it a year then hang the next 100k who are still most vocal in that period

That whole copyright forever BS is just that.

I'd love to see this, so much cultural content is being lost because the owners don't want to distribute it and nobody else can legally. Imagine what Project Gutenberg would look like with 20y copyright, amazing.
