I’ve never been a regular Twitter user, and don't really enjoy the platform, but this comment of yours is either abusing the word “shameful” or betraying a major lack of understanding that you can’t expect other people to care deeply about the things you care deeply about.

There’s a lot of shameful things in this world, GP using twitter isn’t one of them. Not even a “little.”

It's betraying the word shameful in that it's an utter understatement.

If people don't care about supporting companies that enable and spread far-right content and groups, it's they who are a problem.

To say nothing of the pure disregard of the human right to privacy (and with AI now IP as well) that is forced on the the rest of the world by the dominance of the US market.

Apologies, but I genuinely find the intensity of this comment delusional. (1) Doesn't this perspective apply to any social media platform, for example Facebook Groups. And (2) RE: pure disregard of the human right to privacy: doesn't this implicate pretty much all popular digital platforms?

There are a lot of oil producers I consider shameful, but I'm still going to buy gasoline every few weeks.

It's both you and right wing people who are the problem.

You're both puppets in the hands of the powerful who wants us divided and weak.

Don't trust authority. Don't trust anyone. In the past left wing people cared and fought about freedom, today is the right wing fighting for freedom.

It's all irrelevant anyway, governments keep growing stronger and stronger during right or left governments. And soon there is not going to be anywhere to run to.

Shameful? Just because you dislike it doesn’t mean everyone has to.

Says you. I'd prefer to take advantage of the resources available there. Your silly moralism is easy to ignore
