I’ve always understood the rise of right wing media as a direct reaction to Watergate. Took em a little longer to use the courts to enact the same project on the executive branch.

Sorry to all my lawyer friends who spent a bunch of time learning how law works in the US. I had friends who were Flash developers and things turned out alright for them after they pivoted to C# or whatever. Hopefully there's an equivalent for our national legal system

They’re the same. Facebook knows their classic sites are filled with autogenerated crap, they’re throwing fuel on the fire AND their dullard suburban mall of a metaverse will be auto populated with the same crap only this time they don’t have to pretend to care about luring in “influencers”

I think a lot about how we attribute supply to many social ills — misinformation, guns, cars, authoritarianism — where the demand is baked into the culture, thanks in no small part to the supply. The best time to fix the supply was 30 years ago, probably via robust campaign finance legislation.

For the same reason we don’t have comprehensive personal privacy protection, doing something about this would crater a sizable part of our scammy economy and also undo how political campaigns have run for two decades.
