Google suffered another defeat last week in its clash with the justice department, while Meta hasn’t been able to wriggle its way out of antitrust cases either

        It’s actually pretty depressing how little money it takes to buy a senator. We’re talking hundreds to single digit thousands of dollars. Not really going to set that off, sadly.

          During the net nuetrality days of 2016, I can remember a list being put out of every senator who voted in favor of dismantling net nuetrality.

          And this list showed all known payoffs to each senator.

          One senator was bribed $584 total by 4 different ISP giants.

            The trick is that they have to already want to do it. Or you have to have a position lined up for them if they go out of politics.

    Dog and pony show that concludes with a backroom deal and a slap on the wrist, as always.

      They’ll roll out the Zuckbot for some public speaking so everyone can focus on how weird he is instead of anything else.

    They could just shut down Meta and it would take a week for everyone to adjust.

    I do have to say that it makes me chuckle, a lot, to see these billionaires paying trump millions and millions to get his blessings and favors, and then he turns around and fucks each of them in the ass.

    Part by incompetency and stupidity, but also because he knows his position now, he can ask more, and more, and more, and he never had to deliver because what are they going to do?
