    If it’s that big a deal go after the service providers for the servers, this type of shit just makes inhibiting free speech easier.

    If I don’t want people using Truth Social I guess making a bunch of accounts to share torrent links would be enough to shut it down?

    The MPAA still has never been able to demonstrate that privacy even has actual impacts on movie and ticket sales… When Netflix was super convenient and had a lot of content piracy went down. Turns out splitting to dozens of streaming services made it difficult enough that people just went back to sailing the high seas. So lower your prices, make it more convenient to pay for services and people will just do that instead.

        Yeah, well they should keep it up. If they can prove in a US court that a “website is bad” they can make the same argument in the jurisdiction the website is hosted in, the Internet is great because it’s not (mostly) stuck under a single country’s thumb

      It does. If everyone paid for tickets in cash and never online, they wouldn’t be able to harvest user data.
