Of course he's getting killed for it. What's so bad about where we are now as a society is that moderate voices are treated almost as badly as extreme voices (on the right, naturally). So there is going to be more and more extremism with thought and views, with moderation largely drowned out (or converted). I'm legit terrified of where we are going. |

It should be outlawed as should most social media. |

I'm legit terrified of where we are going. and it is typically a small minority that is being appeased. Every commercial has gay couples to appease 10% of the population and I think most LGB think it is crazy too. The few I know are not too crazy about having the T lumped in with them either. I saw this poll this morning about people using the term LatinX. Only 2% of people use the term and 40% find it offensive but the media and SJWs will jam it down our throats anyway. |

It should be outlawed as should most social media. I don't post anything anywhere but here but I think that anonymity is the biggest issue on these platforms. The genie is out of the bottle there is no way to put it back. I think the best would be to stop giving credence to the outliers instead of amplifying them. I don't see any legal way to outlaw it. |

Which is the crazy part. Wasn't there a Federal law that required your ID be known for purposes of online harassment? I engaged some jerkoff today on a topic, he responded with some circular argument, called him out and blocked. This jerkoff then pulled up a burner account to ask why I blocked his "friend" and if I was a coward. Burner was full of ToS violations for porn, blocked and reported it as harassment. Twitter deemed it as unfounded within an hour. |

Early hospital data out of South Africa looks very encouraging, even for unvaxxed - much less intervention, much less progression and fewer serious cases - all compared to numbers during the three previous waves of COVID in SA. So it’s a good point Adams makes …. |
