Wednesday Morning Rant [Joe Mannix]
Fellow Moron "ellipsis" mentioned an article about exactly this: an allegation of conspiracy to pick winners and losers in the market, involving the adult entertainment platform OnlyFans. OnlyFans is a fairly new player in the market and has grown tremendously over the past several years, to the detriment of its established competitors in the field. If this was on the up-and-up, then fine - may the better product win. That's life in the big city. There is a lawsuit underway, however, which alleges that OnlyFans bribed Meta (Facebook) employees and executives to ice the competition for them.
The alleged mechanism for this is the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT). The GIFCT is an organization created by Big Tech designed to stop the spread of terrorist accounts and information. When something is flagged as "terrorist content" on the GIFCT watch list, the status will be propagated to other platforms and will be automatically shadowbanned, reducing the content's reach. The suit alleges that OnlyFans conspired with Meta to flag posts from popular, non-OnlyFans performers on their platforms in the GIFCT system, resulting in crashing popularity for major draws to OnlyFans' competitors and creating a market opening for OnlyFans. In essence, the suit alleges that OnlyFans and Meta used the GIFCT - a non-government, industrial organization - to target and suppress individuals who brought traffic to sites competing with OnlyFans, and did so in an opaque way to avoid accountability. The GIFCT and other alleged participants in the scheme deny any wrongdoing and reject the premise of the suit. This story - despite the unseemly industry involved - underscores the often-forgotten side of the Big Tech speech and commerce suppression problem. Even when ideology and politics aren't factors, they can still play kingmaker and choose winners and losers in the market. Whether they actually did it in this case will be determined in court (assuming the courts don't just defend Big Tech reflexively), but the systems to do exactly what has been alleged are in place. There is a reason that we have laws against monopolies and cartels. The negative effects on a free, fair and open system - for speech, for industrial competition, for commerce, etc. - are too great. If we had a functional government, the Big Tech monopolies would have been broken up long ago.Comments

I just used DDG to look for 'red emma' and the Ima_ges page was 90% Emma Watson photos and 10% a women's fancy clothing store or manufacturer [some very nice models and jackets BTW] and no photos of Emma Goldman even after downscrolling to get two new sets of photos. [The "All" search did get Red Emma historical links though.]

The other reason is that the left half of the country agree with the suppression of free speech. It would only be big news to them if speech stopped being suppressed (e.g. when Elon Musk got Twitter to be partially fair temporarily).
The second reason is the main one.

I haven't seen that ad, but it's hard to reflexively judge it immediately. There are four potential outcomes:
1. Useless/no change
2. Improvement
3. Deliberate destruction
4. Craven power/wealth grab
These four outcomes are always the possible four. Only one of them is beneficial and only two of them are non-destructive. Given the odds, I suspect everything new being done by the government...

Right. It is a system designed to ban, designed to ban automatically, is completely opaque, has no straightforward appeals process, no rights, no standards of evidence and is completely controlled by the Big Tech platforms that created it.
The mechanism alleged in the suit is entirely possible. That system itself is one of those things that can sound good on paper if you have not even a passing familiarity with human systems and motivations.

It's a fundamental new form of communication:
1. One-on-one. A conversation. We're *very* good at this, and it was probably first.
2. One-on-many. An address or a lecture. We're very good at this, too.
3. Many-on-one. A riot or a letter-writing campaign. We're less good at this, because the effective processing capability can't handle the information flow without intermediaries (paper, rocks, etc.)
4. Many-on-many. Social media, forums, etc. This is new. It also depends on intermediaries - the platform - to handle the messaging and, in more sophisticated systems, priority. This is not only a new form of communication that is necessarily intermediated, the intermediary can - and does - change the tenor of the communication as a whole.
The jury is very much out as to whether people can actually handle Type 4 communication on an ongoing basis.

Of course, but at least half of the government is more focused on manipulating bases of power to increase their own control, so monopolies are a net benefit to them. (See, "Mainstream Media.")
The reason always comes back to the fact that we have raised generations of bad people. Bad people only act in their own best interest.
There's a Washington quote over one of the doorways of a government office building in DC: "Let us raise up a standard to which the wise and honest can repair." Men who would hold such an aspirational ideal are gone from DC. If we are not actively working to resuscitate them, we should at least mark their extinction with a solemn plaque.

Kinda' like all those straight shooters at the FBI ?
That's a blind spot with most people. They all see their favorite organizations as "doing the right thing". They never consider, as they give those particular noble institutions more and more power, that all those angels on Earth might use that power to do something else instead.
I get that the thought is depressing. It means you can't build big institutions to do great things, because the bigger the institution to more corrupt it will become. But just because it's a depressing thought doesn't mean its not true.

In an Alaska bar Bubba the Texan is being challenged. "To become an Alaskan you have to drink a whole bottle of whiskey, fight a grizzly bear and fuck an Eskimo lass." He drinks the whiskey and goes out. Several hours later he comes back, all torn up and bruised, and asks, "Where's that Eskimo lass I'ze gotta wrestle?"

It's a little more complicated than that. A lot of OF "performers" are closer to go-go dancers or strippers than X-rated porn performers. I think for a lot of fans, the attraction is the same as going to a strip club: pretty girls pay attention to you. It's less sexual that you might think. For some of these guys, it's like therapy. I never understood the appeal myself.

Earlier this year, I think, Facebook (the company) reorganized. The company is so big and does so many things - Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and countless other things - that the corporate structure and name were no longer working well. They reorganized, made Facebook a division within the company and changed the overall company name to Meta. Meta owns Facebook and Instagram and WhatsApp and countless other things.
This is very similar to what Google did when it became Alphabet.

I strongly suspect that the vast majority of OF's paying clientele consists of that subset of men (increasingly common in the younger generation) who are completely terrified of actual, in person, human interaction and thus they need to go through an electronic interface, to avoid facing their own deep feelings of inadequacy.
Meeting an actual prostitute in person requires the confidence that one won't fail pathetically and be laughed at.

Anyhoo, I found the results from Albany County (where I live) most interesting. It's one of the 2 Dem counties in Wyoming, because it's the home of UW. Piggy took Albany (as I expected) but according to the SecState website, it was 4218 to 3967. Some Dems may not have crossed over for Piggy, as the Dem primary may actually matter to some people here. But it cheers me that almost 4000 people in my county showed up for Harriet.

The odds of a hooker laughing at the john are probably pretty slim. The john being unable to perform are decent, but he can always try ago with a largely unbruised ego. I think it is perhaps more rationalization that it isn't prostitution or the solicitation of prostitution.

Twitter is interesting. Remember in the old days before Trump. It seemed tailor made to be a platform for geeks (politics, movies, food, sci-fi, whatever subject) to argue with other geeks on that subject. It allowed people who loved celebrity to follow and learn more about that celebrity. It was a big discussion forum that served multiple different subjects.
The problem is that geek discussion forums (on any subject) are never really that thing. Tons of people read books who just like a good story, and they ignore the quotidian details that geeks live to argue about.

Some years ago, my younger child asked SIRI where he could find something (don't remember what now), and Siri offered to find him the location of local drug dealers...I was worried the police would come knocking at my door...

It's too involved a topic to go into detail, but in the past there were huge sections of English Law dedicated to making sure that the Great Estates and Great Incomes stayed in the hands of the most influential families, aka the nobility. Thomas Jefferson, among many others, despised these laws and made sure all of them were tossed out of our constitutional system. Today's ruling class is trying to bring them back.

It's not that they become rich, it's that their spouses are just great at business. Nothing to do with them being in government at all. How dare you even suggest such a thing.

Except when you read the article - whoops whoopsi! Turns out that he doesn't have to do anything at all except say they are declassified. ABC trots out the usual liberals that worked for Obama to darkly suggest there might be some way Trump isn't allowed to this, but don't really give any reason why they think this. They are forced to even admit that even Scooter Libby was allowed in court to say the President told him something was declassified - and whoopsi again - so it was!

Ernesto Miranda was a rapist. Not only that, but a rapist so dumb that he actually said "Yeah, that's her." when confronted with the victim in a lineup.
Nonetheless, his case led to the right to counsel and the right to remain silent being emphasized for all of us (those rights existed before, but the cops weren't required to tell you about them).
Same thing going on here, I'd say.
