Watch someone "resign" over this.
LOOOL
Oh are they going to surprise me?
They're not gonna surprise me, are they?
And yet...

I'll keep saying this: That Amazon even has the power to erase you from the internet on a whim is the far bigger issue than whether or not they made the right call THIS TIME.
It's a bit like defending a violation of someone's Fourth Amendment rights by saying "but I found the murder weapon." Yeah, THIS TIME you did. "Hey we doxed the right person." Yeah, THIS TIME you did. What about next time? Or the 50 times after that?
Also as someone who said repeatedly that Trump being banned from Twitter was the one thing that could make Parler a viable alternative, it's awfully weird that Parler went bye bye the second that became a legitimate possibility. Just saying.

Again, it's not the Twitter ban. It's that 4-5 services can act in concert to instantly freeze someone out of the online sphere, including the serving president of the united states. Forget whether HE deserved it. The fact that this ability exists AT ALL is dangerous.
Yes the world is exactly the same now as it was in 2002 and the online sphere isn't a far more central place for information, business, and the general conduct of society and life. Good take.
The big Writers Guild strike in 07-08 was exactly over this - they were being denied royalties they deserved because they came in via digital platforms - something new enough to not be included in their previous CBA. New technology often needs new legal frameworks.

Even with how bad it's been Pelosi still manages to make me roll my eyes. Are military leaders even obligated to initiate a nuclear strike if the president just orders it out of nowhere?
I seriously can't believe this is a thing. Like there's no process by which there's even a reason given? Just blind obey? Yeah that's scary. Still, Trump won't do it.
That's sort of what I meant. But "unlawful" is a judgment call and I figure that if literally out of nowhere the president orders a strike, there would at least be *some* hesitation.

Watching one of the greatest sci fi flicks ever in 4k. Let's go.
There are so many creative choices in this movie that would never have been made today, which is one of the reasons I love it so much. It has true character.
It's The Fifth Element. I guess I should have mentioned that...

Does he realize his old statements are on the internet?
He just gets away with this over and over.
And we're only up to March 2017, folks!
