I can't believe he got cancelled for such a mild statement.
In the meantime, the CEOs of Discord, Reddit, Twitch, and Steam have been casually "invited" to Congress to have a little chat this October. Personally, I'm expecting Discord's CEO (considering his background at McKinsey, need for blame shifting, spotting the most vulnerable person in the room) to make Huffman look like an idiot and start acting like a Redditor. There's no way Huffman manages to overcome his lack of interview experience, 20 years of Reddit brain, and decade of being the CEO responsible for everything, when needled.
these are the next steps in locking down the online discussion realm.
they will eventually go after places like tumblr and roblox next.
The Twitter files were ambiguous. The FCC chair publicly threatening to pull a network’s licenses over their content is not.
Anyone who voiced up about the Twitter files who hasn’t about Carr is a partisan hack.
From what I’m seeing in right-wing spaces, this is much more than hypocrisy. Much of the right has made the explicit decision to abandon their principles because they believe that the left will ultimately attempt to destroy them when they regain the White House.
Whether that belief is accurate or not, they seem to be willing to give Trump significantly more latitude to suppress the left as a result of it.
I believe Biden should've aggressively suppressed the right to avoid the exact scenario we now find ourselves in.
Imo they are proving that belief right.
The right has a very similar corresponding argument; their predictions have also been coming true.
I wonder if that’s a side effect of the current political discourse or the intention of whatever or whomever is driving it.
