The phrase "is linked to" should be a massive red flag.

If it was smuggling Iranian oil it would say, "is smuggling Iranian oil", not "is linked to smuggling Iranian oil".

until this administration is long gone

Based on past performance, the next Democrat administration will repeal maybe 50% of these changes at most.

Did you read the text? She told him she was 14. This isn't one of those "hey it's legal in my state" cases.

If it's only morons that use it "wrong", then it does indeed become right, but still gains the added subtext of "by the way I'm also a moron"

Ridiculous. There’s like ten thousand people who can testify that he was with them at the time of the shooting.

Do you seriously need someone to explain the difference, or are you just being contrary for its own sake?

But given the AI imitations that are still invading Release Radar and Discover Weekly playlists, which the company prominently recommends to its users

This is the turbo-shitty part of the whole thing.

Facebook do this as well; they act like they've got too many users to police everything that gets uploaded, and you could almost believe them on that, but they sure as fuck have the resources to be able to police what they're choosing to boost.

They're choosing not to do that, because The Algorithm is highly tuned around "how many dollars can we make next month" and they'd rather use that as their metric.

There’s a disturbing number of creeps ITT arguing that they should be allowed to film people without their knowledge on the subway

Single point of data here, and I don't think I've ever really felt that any of them did much.

Problem is that they supposedly take over an hour to do anything, by which time I don't know whether I'd have felt better regardless.
