of course privacy is important, ive had tape over the front camera of my ipad since i started using it. im never saying: dont protect yourself

im saying: there are way way way more mundane reasons for people's behavior and political inconsistencies and the choices they make and what they blank on and what they include and what their values and standards are, and if they live up to those every single day .. day in and day out.. then like: uh oh i think this is a thing about handlers

the handler thing is simply a very movie action film extreme scenario to me

i need way way way more proof that this is consistently happening

a much more mundane example: that sweet sweet aipac money

finally, to be unequivocally clear:

do i think it is a handler scenario if you have 3 million followers on ig? no

david beckham has 88.4 according to wikipedia. do i think he does? no

zendaya 176 million does she? i dont think so. would guess not

ok youtube

mr beast? eminem music? joe rogan? ed sheeran? no

ok? ok that's just where i am on it. obviously i do not know. this isnt my world or area i wouldnt actually know the first thing. i have no credibility or experience or institutional knowledge here. i am: an entire rando

now,

do i think it is possible that if you started, founded, own, run, a major broadcast channel, a newspaper, a social media platform, in the foreign service, are a diplomat, own a major sports team

that shit could have gotten that extreme, that dangerous, that fucked, and that insane?

~yes~

because now we are talking the arena of actual actual power and the ability to affect major major major money

for example: On 7 January 2021, Twitter temporarily locked the account of U.S. President Donald Trump after multiple controversies, including his use of the platform to undermine the results of the 2020 presidential election and to incite the January 6 United States Capitol attack. On 8 January, Twitter permanently suspended Trump's account, citing his violation of Twitter's Glorification of Violence guidelines.

from the article: "We've always banned individuals or organizations that promote or engage in violence and hate, regardless of ideology," a Facebook spokeswoman said in a statement. "The process for evaluating potential violators is extensive and it is what led us to our decision to remove these accounts today."

do i think that making decisions like this could lead to repercussions?

yes absolutely plausible to me

"Facebook's newest move to remove extremists like Alex Jones and Milo Yiannopoulos from the platform is just the latest piece of evidence that this is not the case.

The social media companies not only have the right, but an ethical responsibility to remove disinformation and hate speech and those who spread it from their platforms."

when you remove extremists who do you piss off? extremists

why would we imagine extremists in aggregate are a reasonable bunch who would take it on the chin with a laugh
