The literal exact opposite.

I can't wait for them to finally accept climate change is man made, except inexplicably blaming trees and renewables for destroying the climate while promoting a cooling effect from fossil fuels... Whatever it is, it's guaranteed to be evil and dumb as shit.

Exactly: Net neutrality is a publicly acknowledged individual by small tech that wants to censor liberals.

Just a joke :P be a little light-hearted 😁

I didn’t downvote you, but it’s impossible to detect sarcasm in text anymore. /s used to be a popular way but I don’t see it much anymore.

All good homie. Just trying to make people have a little chuckle 😄

The EFF heavily criticized AWS for removing Parler a few years ago for this reason.

[-] phillaholic@lemm.ee 33 points 9 months ago

That’s not Net Neutrality. Comcast stopping a subscriber from visiting Parlor hosted on AWS would be violating Net Neutrality. It’s about getting there, not where it’s hosted. Amazon is fully in their rights to dictate what is hosted on their platform.

I'm surprised at how quickly the internet we're presented, has turned into a right wing cesspool of lies and misinformation.

[-] Nommer@sh.itjust.works 10 points 9 months ago

Just remember they've always been here. Trump only emboldened them so they had a leader to cower behind while spewing their FUD. They know they're wrong but they don't care as long as the right people are hurt. And they'll still be here after the trump cult dissolves. No amount of education can reach those who are unwilling to learn.

All of social media are pushing right wing trash hard because that's what gets engagement. Either smug satisfaction from the clowns who agree or rage clicks from people who don't.

[-] zcd@lemmy.ca 20 points 9 months ago

For real tho, we should censor their bot/troll farms polluting the internet

[-] noxy@yiffit.net 17 points 9 months ago

censoring conservatives is, unfortunately, the very last thing big tech actually wants.

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 13 points 9 months ago

What a spectacularly stupid take: I am not surprised to hear he is a moron.

[-] Four_lights77@lemm.ee 11 points 9 months ago

The unintended consequence of repeated attacks on net neutrality is that so many more people understand what net neutrality is and won’t fall for this bs.

protip : Trump doesn't get to pick shit worth fuck anymore
