    The longer they take the less relevant they become.
    So much for a "bare metal" build, this is a classic DR scenario and should have been handled in a more timely manner.

    There seems to be no end to the insanity. But if they want to press that, wouldn't Amazon have to be included? After all, it was their very own AWS that was hosting the Parler site.

    Well crud. We dropped Netflix months ago. Even at that, after watching documentaries like that one, you still don't know if you have seen the unvarnished truth since you don't hear the counter arguments. Frustrating.

    Is the problem the technology, or the people that use it or more specifically what it's used for? Is this the same as nuclear energy that can light cities being used to blow away humans? Anything in the irresponsible hands is dangerous.

    Amazon says Jeff Bezos will step down as CEO.

    As for the documentary ,I am not fond of that format . The whole thing could've been condensed . I'm a personal responsibility type of person. I take ownership of my actions . So no matter how much so called manipulation I am subject to ;my thoughts and actions are my own,

    Hahahalolol - that's rich! You couldn't even take ownership when directly asked about your "socialism" infecting Democratic politics. You ran away unable to respond with specifics.

    Lol - You already ended it when you couldn't answer A SIMPLE QUESTION about your "socialism" nonsense. If it makes you feel any better, your inability to answer is common among your fellow-travelers when confronted with THEIR "socialism" nonsense.

    In the meantime another defamation lawsuit against Faux News and dufus true believers.

    Smartmatic's $2.7 billion lawsuit against Fox News: Legal experts give their opinions - CNN

    "When you are making statements that are knowingly false, and you make them with malice, and you actually tarnish reputations and it has a financial consequence — that's why you have defamation lawsuits in the first place," Coates said, explaining the seriousness of the lawsuit.
    Coates is not alone in believing Smartmatic's suit poses real threat to Fox. University of Georgia media law professor Jonathan Peters noted on Twitter that "libel law makes it difficult to prevail where the plaintiff is a public figure and/or where the speech involved a matter of public concern. In various ways, these will be key issues in litigation." But, Peters added that he believed the "smart money" is on Smartmatic.
    That seemed to be the general consensus among legal experts who commented on the case Thursday. Despite Fox describing the suit as "meritless," Powell calling it a "political maneuver," and Giuliani saying he looked forward to discovery, most legal experts believed it to have some bite. "This lawsuit is a legitimate threat — a real threat," CNN legal analyst Ellie Honig said. "There is a real teeth to this." And Roy Gutterman, who directs the Tully Center for Free Speech at Syracuse University, echoed to WaPo, "This complaint establishes a compelling narrative in its 270-plus pages. It will certainly be interesting to see how the defendants frame their responses."
