People like Elon Musk and Donald Trump would love the power that China has over its citizens in online affairs.

They want to make it as normal as possible for people to identify themselves online so anyone who doesn’t stands out and it’s easier to pass laws to make privacy illegal.

Corporations like Discord are how oligarchs exert their will over the population, since they can’t always use the government directly (yet.)

It’s all about testing the waters and seeing what they can get away with.

It’s how abusive relationships work.

Yes, the domain name is an obvious point of failure when trying to maintain anonymity. It’s not enough to get WHOIS protection if the company you register the domain name with knows your identity.

It looks like njal.la allows anonymous domain name registrations, but they seem expensive and I’ve read reviews saying njal.la will revoke access without clear violations of their policies.

I won’t require identification on my instance.

Lol.

Lol, these mods are a joke.

Yes. We need to keep in mind that the real battle being fought here is market dominance.

People on the left hate Tesla and Musk because of Musk’s politics instead of him being a conman colluding to keep EV prices high.

I use Aliexpress over Amazon whenever possible.

It’s insane the amount of scams going on on Amazon.

Was that the whole video?

Kinda crazy how the US gov’t has all this money for surveillance but not enough to pay interest on its debt.

Not really.

JD Vance won’t be better, but all of the people voting for the lesser evil should be punished for their incompetence.

I actually agree with him.

We need to stop letting the culture war distract us from the class war.

Something like this would only be necessary if there’s a lot of people that want to punish others for not recognizing same-sex marriage.

Lima beans’ existence doesn’t depend on other people recognizing they exists.

A better analogy would be nations’ sovereignty.

The court seems to disagree.

/c/world isn’t the world, sweetie.

I know it can be confusing if you’re not proficient in English.

Western media is beholden to Israeli interests.
