> And not associating the act of placing pipe bombs with a riot that occurred the next day is naive.

Exactly. We don't prosecute based on whims, but tangible evidence. You'd be wise to do the same.

They may "suspect" that, but just as we seen with the fire extinguisher claims, until proven with overwhelming evidence, it is not fact.

Unless you have evidence contrary, we have no idea the ideological lean of whoever placed those bombs. They were planted at both the Democratic and Republican headquarters, remember?

Associating the act with the events on the day that followed is unsubstantiated.

No, a bold claim such as "a police officer died due to protestor actions" requires substantial evidence.

The NYT wrongfully (perhaps wilfully) claimed a police officer was struck by a fire extinguisher while physically engaging with protesters. They then quietly retracted this claim, noting that investigators had found little evidence that he was struck by a fire extinguisher. The MSM has been gaslighting the American public by bombarding them with unsubstantiated propaganda.

Did you even read the page you linked?

> Brian David Sicknick (July 30, 1978 – January 7, 2021) was an American officer of the United States Capitol Police who died of an unknown cause a day after the 2021 storming of the Capitol.

> The day after the storming, anonymous Capitol police officers told The New York Times that Sicknick sustained his injuries by being struck by a fire extinguisher while physically engaging with protesters. However, no corroborating evidence of this has been discovered, and medical examiners found no signs of blunt force trauma. The New York Times published a correction retracting the previous claim, noting that investigators have found little evidence that he was struck by a fire extinguisher.

It eliminates the possibility they were planted in reaction to Trump's remarks on the 6th. It was a seperate event.

> our Capitol was stormed by people with bombs

Source please.

Correction: A police officer committed suicide. Pipe bombs were planted the night before. Stop maximising it.

Here is a great example of the power of misinformation at work folks.

If you don't trust your fellow citizens to discern misinformation from truth, you don't trust them to vote.

If you're convinced fascism has arrived in America, you'll excuse any means necessary to topple the dictator and to prevent a reoccurrence. The issue is in doing so, they've become the tyrannical force they propose to oppose.

“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear." — Harry S. Truman

What percentage of all Australian user engagement is driven by the sharing and discussion of Australian news media content?

"Private websites" are the contemporary public square, especially so when half the world is locked at home and forced to communicate remotely.

Substack. Citizen journalism is the future. The MSM solely exist to make every problem your problem through an omnipresent stream of manufactured outrage.

Link previews (headline, image, blurb) are a substitute good. Many would-be eyeballs never click through. Big tech profits, news media dwindles.

NYT has been a net negative on society since 2016, rapidly so since 2019.

If anything, US big tech is and has been siphoning money from the Australia news media for a decade.

The complaint is that many users just read the headline and never click to leave the Facebook walled garden, generating 0 income or traffic for the news media.

They complain that big tech gets the reward (content that drives user engagement) and further, it detracts from the potential traffic they would otherwise receive.

Where does it stipulate this law applies to new startups?

Yes. Gab is a Christian safe-space. Parler a right-wing safe-space. Twitter a left-wing safe-space.

Centralised communication platforms all eventually trend towards echo chambers.

Decentralisation is the key to restoring unfettered free speech.

"With regard to freedom of speech there are basically two positions: you defend it vigorously for views you hate, or you reject it and prefer Stalinist/fascist standards. It is unfortunate that it remains necessary to stress these simple truths." — Chomsky

Actions speak louder than words. If multi-billion dollar multinationals don't foresee such happening, perhaps you should reevaluate your own premises.

People are buying BTC to hedge against the coming wave of inflation. They're buying immunity.

Liable for what exactly in this instance?

After eviscerating their most fervent users they are all but ruined either way. Retail is quickly learning the true cost of "commission-free" investing.
