It's increasingly hard to tell if this bloke is either inherently or wilfully ignorant, but either way, he doesn't get how sensible government regulators work. Funny how he doesn't seem to get this fired up about taking down stuff the Chinese CP asks him to...

It's also astonishing that anyone would so desperately want to publish what essentially amount to uncensored, context-free snuff videos on his website that he's prepared to take on a nation-state with democratically enacted laws.

Imagine how upset he'll be when his solicitor and his expensive silk tell him that the First Amendment to the US Constitution won't do him any good in the Australian Federal Court? It'll blow what he's convinced himself is his free-speech absolutist mind 🤯

We need to rethink how we penalise people like Elmo and massive companies like the tech giants. When we decided on the fines and such, we never imagined the rate at which money concentrates into an ever-decreasing number of people/entities.

@DyDave fines can be levied as percent of income or wealth... there are a few countries that do that. also, putting CEOs in prison for certain things might be a good deterrent

That's the kinda thing I mean.

This is like the 'Gilded Age' all over again, and we don't have the tools to deal with it any more than we could have ever dealt with the likes of Rockefeller, etc., back then. They're too rich.
