"In the West, we have given hostile nations who fund these platforms steady access to the minds of our citizens. They’ve created foot soldiers of our young men, many radicalized away from decency and empathy and into the arms of 'influencers' like Andrew Tate, who was just arrested again for trafficking minors and sex with a minor."

"And with every new violent massacre at the hands of another digitally radicalized user, the tech tycoons scream ‘free speech’ as if that absolves them of any blood on their hands.
But with the arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov in Paris last Saturday the cult of the genius tech bro may be losing some of its absolute power."

@wdlindsy Sounds like an invitation for somebody to punch him in the face, and we'll see how 'critically' he thinks.

@wdlindsy Hey, remember when Musk was going to sqaure off against Zuck in a cage fight? Whatever happened to that?

@bytebro Indeed. And we'll see how much that much-vaunted "rationality" amounts to.

@AndyDeardentsa Thank you. Yes, I had seen that good article yesterday, and you're exactly right, it's a good explanation of this point. I need to add a link to it in this thread.

@davidpmaurer It's funny that the alpha fantasy so often turns out to live in a plain old dad-bod body, isn't it?

@bruce Maybe that person was pointing to this:
"Federal government contractors are prohibited from making contributions or expenditures, or promising to make any such contribution or expenditure, to any political party, committee, or candidate for federal office, or to any person for any political purpose or use."

@Terypat It is hilarious, isn't it? And you're right: these "alpha" men are exemplars of high rationality? Reality? When they write in adolescent soundbytes reeking with the few emotions they can express, like rage?

@vruz Well-stated. I agree.
