Is it tyrannical to make companies obey laws they don't agree with? I mean it's probably tyrannical for the law to exist in the first place but this feels like a "well well well if it isn't the consequences of my own actions" for these companies propping up establishment candidates who line up be cucked by Israel.

The thing is the statute of limitations extends beyond Trump's presidency and the penalties are levied against the hosting and distributing companies (Oracle, Google, Apple) wouldn't it be lovely if the next president assuming we get a next president enforced the law and collected the fines from these companies.

I keep seeing this but the claim is dubious at best and feel like conflating correlation with causation. While the examples cited were largely non violent they had aspects and sub movements advocating violence and destruction, so any outcomes cannot be isolated in a way to make this claim.

So by extension if I am peacefully protesting and somebody tries to hit me with a car/deadly weapon can I "Stand My Ground" and shoot at the driver? Asking for a friend.

And Democratic senators like Amy Klobuchar are writing laws to help him

Also known as Gell-Mann amnesia

Pretending that the law matters during a fascist coup is not productive.

I was in no way suggesting Booker replace Schumer. I want Booker and the other democrats to pressure Schumer to step down.

A lot of words and no actions.. until Schumer steps down Democrats have learned nothing and have nothing new to offer. If you want us to believe you have changed show us don't tell us.

This is the whole problem, the government isn't working for people. The media isn't even working for people, look how few people even rely on traditional media these days. The answer can't be more government as usual more traditional media coverage. What we need is grand action. Fight the battle in the streets (not violence) force a prolonged general strike, organized mass boycotts, create a run on the banks, and become generally ungovernable.

This SHOULD have been done to stop the last CR. Democrats had a chance to present a united opposition with both the Senate and the House but threw it away. This is not the ONLY productive thing they could be doing, it's the only legal thing they can do. Democrats are still playing by the rules and following decorum. Americans are angry many seem to be starting to realize they were sold a culture war when what they are actually fighting is a class war. Until the messaging becomes that of a class war Democrats will not be able to capitalize on the anger.

Performative garbage, they had a chance to actually prevent it and they folded.

I read the git history changes and while I generally think it's somewhat of a nothing burger for savvy users, it is a scummy move that alienates their core user base at a moment in time where they were best positioned to expand their user base.

99% are already not using Firefox 😅. I assume a larger portion of the Firefox user base is technically savvy.

How would this work exactly? What keeps me from pieholing any telemetry or data Firefox tries reporting back to Mozilla?

You can opt out of the economy at any time, I haven't bought anything besides locally grown food for several weeks. I'm in the process of divesting the money I have in stock into precious metals funds.

Nobody is saying it would solve the problem but it might make me feel a little better

I think they would still be open to civil liability, for services that compete with TikTok or anybody who could claim harm came from companies refusal to follow the law.

I don't even think we need to wait that long, anybody with a product that "competes" with TikTok would have standing to sue Google, Oracle, and Apple for violating the law and causing harm to their business. The possibility of government penalties in 4 years is just the icing on the cake.
