    Because Swartz wanted a free and open web and the powers that be wanted control over every major social media website. This was around the same that moot showed up in Epstein’s emails and would later sell his site. All in the run up to the 2016 election. Now think about how /r/thedonald stayed on the site for so long.

      r/donald was a py-op posing as social media. I doubt it did much other than get liberals mad on reddit but it was clearly a sign of things to come.

      Fox is the true evil.
