A loss of 100 million is significant to most, but not bezos.
What's stopping all of these journalists that are leaving in protest from starting a journalism cooperative and splitting their work amongst themselves and taking votes on what should and should not be included in the news?
Money.
How were The Onion writers able to buy their publication back? Was it just dirt cheap?
Divide and conquer. By destroying large journalistic institutions, or converting them into voice boxes for nationalistic propaganda and policiy, the criticism of large corporate and governmental institutions becomes diluted and harder to find. The eventual plan is probably to use the dissolution of net neutrality to heavily limit access to dissenting voices from independent journalists and/or just people making dissenting content, effectively shadow banning anyone who poses a threat to the state and corporate power, while also preventing potential future rival voices and political parties from gaining a foothold in the minds of the populace at large.
We're going need a army of Lugi's. When do we get started. Revolution is needed instead we are rolling fast into a nightmare version of 1984.
Net Neutrality has nothing to do with viewpoint. It refers to IP source and destination; e.g. AT&T can’t cap Netflix but let their affiliate Max through.
Just jumbling up a bunch of words you heard, that’s solid reasoning!
Replace "Netflix" and "Max" with "Substack" and 'Washington Post" and what you wrote absolutely applies to viewpoint.
Ryan grim and the intercept's co founder just started something, "Drop site" IIRC.
Also, I think "Semafor" might be a sort of gathering place forming for folks wanting a better way. https://www.semafor.com/article/10/18/2022/what-is-a-semaform-anyway-and-why-should-you-care
I had no idea this was already in motion, thank you.
Wish bezos would choke on a fat dick
Glad to hear it. Let's hope the trend continues.
Why though? They're all friends.
