Guns are useful for a fearful populace, to give them the illusion of some kind of control.

Soon *nix will be the only legal fetish. Until they get to it.

This is an excellent observation.

We now no longer have the debate over whether or not this content is necessarily harmful to minors. It’s now automatically bad, and the new framing is: shouldn’t we ban bad things?

When will we start holding these people accountable? It is easy to say “corporations are bad” and then sit on your hands. It’s different to start calling out the people who ultimately make the corporations evil.

They agreed to terms when they operated under Creative Commons.

Why have just one additional failure point when you can have two?
