This has been an issue for years, I can assure you that I am not triggered, nor have I recently woken up on the issues here or in China. The sad thing is that people are only now starting to realize it. In China people are used to going around censorship and have learned not to trust their media. In America there is still a portion of the public that thinks the media is being honest. The level of censorship is about on par, the biggest difference is who drives the censorship.

As for Trump's business failure rate, I'll go to the quite anti-Trump Forbes:

Only One Third Of Trump's New Businesses Succeeded - That's Actually A Pretty Good Record...One third succeeding? ....
We all know that Silicon Valley expects 9 out of 10 funded companies to fail or at least not succeed, it being the massive success of the 10th which makes the profit. But that's not far out of line with new initiatives in other parts of the economy. It is routinely reported in my native UK that 4 out of 5 new businesses don't exist 5 years later. ....
As I say, it's a little over three times the general success rate.

Your lying. Every word you said is false. Over 1200 affidavits, crooked voting machines from Dominion Voting systems, video evidence, hundreds of thousands of excessive votes in some states, and on and on. None of which has been proven false. Repeating a lie does not make it true and your not fooling anyone.

How about that week long assault by BLM and Antifa on the White House last summer? You know the one where Democrats refused to condemn the violence? The one where the National Guard was considered going too far? I would think a lot of people would consider a week long attempt to storm the White House an insurrection. I have no doubt that if that was done to Obama the media would have done so within minutes.

America's censorship is as bad as China's and it has been for the last few years. The only difference is that in China the people know that they are routinely censored.

Big tech censored the Hunter Biden laptop scandal well enough to swing the election. All of a sudden after the election the corp media discovered a story the conservative media had reported on for months.

People don't realize how deep the censorship goes, it impacts things far more than people realize. It isn't just your news, it affects everything from your autosuggest in your search to the spam filter in your email. The result is increased radicalization from echo chambers and Americans are divided further and further apart.

Censorship is evil, it has to stop. It's only a matter of time before the things you care about start getting censored as well. Your a fool if you think they were going to limit this power to hurting Trump.

Your misleading people for political purposes. By the way, companies have been getting successfully sued for abusing monopoly power since the 1800's. There are many Supreme Court precedents over the matter across a wide range of industries including technology (Rambus, Microsoft etc).

I'll go straight to the FTC so that people can see for themselves. Link for everyone else straight from the FTC:

https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advic...

Contrary to myth you don't have to have a 100% monopoly or even 50% to have monopoly power. You don't even need to be in competition with the company to sue them. You simply need to establish that they have significant and durable power over the market - and Amazon has both in spades. You then need to establish that they have abused this power to hurt you or your business.

Courts do not require a literal monopoly before applying rules for single firm conduct; that term is used as shorthand for a firm with significant and durable market power â" that is, the long term ability to raise price or exclude competitors. That is how that term is used here: a "monopolist" is a firm with significant and durable market power. Courts look at the firm's market share, but typically do not find monopoly power if the firm (or a group of firms acting in concert) has less than 50 percent of the sales of a particular product or service within a certain geographic area.

Once Amazon decided to deplatform Parler no one else was willing to risk their wrath by allowing them to use their services. That's a literal demonstration of power over the market. Amazon has worked in concert with others like Google to deplatform an up and coming competitor and that puts them squarely in the in the monopoly category. When you have such a grip on the market that you can convince every single vendor, including the companies own lawyers to abandon them on the same day you have clearly demonstrated your power over the market.

They abused their power to shut down a company for political purposes. Within 24 hours of Trump joining the platform it was shut down. Despite other platforms like twitter running accounts routinely calling for violence, murder, rape and even genocide for years on end. Their claims of concerns of violence fool only the media, on the very day it was shut down 'hang Mike Pence' was allowed to trend. It is patently obvious that this was done for political purposes and no one is going to believe that the timing of Trump joining was a coincidence.

The solution that has been consistent with Supreme Court precedent is to use RAND to force Reasonable And NonDiscriminatory terms on big tech monopolies to end their abuse. It's past time to treat big tech as utility company and enforce equal terms for all and put an end to out of control political censorship.

You completely missed the point. The corporate media is almost entirely left wing. After the events of yesterday it is clear to the world at large that censorship of conservatives is now out in the open. The fact that Apple and Google think it's okay to try to force censorship and enforce progressive values on third party companies shows just how bad their hubris has become. Clearly the need to enforce the law against them for abusing their monopolies is years overdue.

Non-right wing people have been voicing their views on Fox news for years. Shepard Smith (moved on about a year ago, was there for over 20), Donna Brazille, Juan Phillips, Chris Wallace and a number of other liberals are all routinely on Fox - as paid anchors and hosts. Fox routinely hosted people that disagreed with them.

I've seen Tucker Carlson get corrected on the air by liberal guests on a matter where he was wrong, see Tucker acknowledge when he was wrong and see that same guest come back again. Try that on CNN and they'll kick you off the set in the middle of the segment and you'll never come back.

Literally just yesterday I heard Glenn Greenwald of the Guardian fame, founder of the liberal Intercept do an interview while listening in the car. Notably, in the real world the majority of Fox's coverage of Trump is negative and has been his entire presidency. Your statements are so far from accurate that they border on intellectual dishonesty.

If they were outvoted they wouldn't have been disenfranchised. I didn't say outvoted, I said disenfranchised. The lie that Biden got more votes will not be allowed to become the next great lie. You don't get to rewrite history this time, there are too many witnesses.

Hundreds of thousands more ballots counted than received in some states, hundreds of thousands of mail in ballots that were pristine without fold marks in some states. Shredding trucks pulling up the very moment forensic analysis of the ballots themselves is authorized. The list goes on and on.

The evidence against this lie is overwhelming. Over 1200 affidavits, millions of votes stolen, forensic analysis in several methods, corrupt voting machines and even more corrupt voting officials. You would have a better chance of winning the lottery a month straight than you would in Biden having won legitimately and producing the results he did.

This is part of a widespread and coordinated attack on American's rights. Whether it's Google suspending Parler, Youtube deleting videos questions the fraud of the 2020 election or a whole host of other Americans that have been silenced the message is the same. Big tech is bigger than the US government and your civil rights.

A handful of unelected bureaucrats now have more power than our elected representatives. The mass censorship of half the country isn't going to unify anyone and it certainly isn't going to convince anyone that the 2020 election was legitimate. Instead it is going to accelerate the divide in the United States and amplify existing echo chambers.

The inevitable result of these policies will be more violence as the moderating effects of the marketplace of ideas are silenced. Radicalization of even larger portions of both the left will be the inevitable result. 2020 set a precedent that mass violence, looting and burning is acceptable that cannot be put back into the bottle. Riots and violence are not going to stop with Trump out of office.

I've consistently spoken against violence and my desire to head it off is why I bring this up now. The bottom line is that there are at least 74 million people that have been disenfranchised that have lost their confidence in the court system and are now being silenced from their only viable public square. It is only a matter of time before millions start to question whether or not civil war is their only option.

Smartmatic is the company behind the company and the machines and their connections are well documented at this point. The people at Dominion that testified at the legislatures will go to prison if anyone ever bothers to look into it.

The link is a public records document from the state of California showing Eric Coomers testimony from when he worked for Sequoia in 2005. They were then bought by Smartmatic in 2005. Here's a CNN video documenting the purchase as well as the links to Venezuela and Chavez.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1...

Here are some pictures excerpts Eric Coomers testimony about his work. If you read the testimony you'll notice that Eric Coomer testified that Dominion purchased Sequoia in 2010. The pictures are from CNN and the state of California testimony given by Eric Coomer, and they clearly show the link between SmartMatic purchase and Sequoia.

Eric Coomer is the same guy who has patents on the adjudication process that was used by Dominion to move large numbers of votes. Here's a link to a picture of one of the patents.

Interestingly, 18 voting patents from Dominion are now part of a security agreement with HSBC - one of the largest banks in China.

Here's the patent assignment sheet right here:

A whole bunch of other evidence ties them together, new stuff starting around page 113-181.

I've known a lot of people that think that it's highly overrated. I have yet to meet anyone who sincerely things it's a hoax. There was a nurse in the Dakota's on tv that got some airtime on CNN with a factless story claiming people were denying it all the way up their last minutes of life.

Even the very liberal Wired had to call bs on that urban legend in the making.

Just curious, have you got experience driving in winter conditions, especially in bad weather? I can assure that it is much more difficult than simply driving in heavy downtown traffic in a major city at rush hour. I say that having driven in rush hour traffic of pretty much any US city you can think of. Itâ(TM)s a completely different set of skills and things that you can do in warmer weather can kill you in the cold

Take the number of daily trips made by automobile. Take that number and calculate to see how many trips are left over after 99.9999%. This may or may not be better than human drivers. At some point this will likely favor the computer.

However you have to consider things like weather. Automatic driving systems use queues like road lines or curbs to know where their lanes are. This works great in San Francisco, not so well in a Minnesota or Scandinavian road in the winter. Following GPS lanes is also not necessarily the safest choice on a snow covered road. Throw in some black ice and the whole thing is in in uncharted waters.

Consider things like companies using wokism to drive technology and a lot of people arenâ(TM)t going to be in a hurry to trust the systems anytime soon.

Iâ(TM)m all for supporting an increase in driver training standards as well. Iâ(TM)m inclined to look at Germany for their standards on driving licenses and auto maintenance. That doesnâ(TM)t change or devalue the other concerns with automated driving.

I'm opposed to any and all forms of identity politics, therefore I'm going to call out your presumption of racism, sexism or whateverism. I'm not trying to give you a hard time, it's just that you have illustrated the very issue that I was describing.

The presumption itself shows a bias and that bias is exactly the kind of issue that infects modern AI and creates the very issues of trust that I was referring to. These issues are why reporters and the media have almost the lowest level of trust in the US and the technology industry is rapidly approaching this very issue.

While bigotry of and from every ethnic group was certainly much more of an issue at the time, it isn't what led to WW2, it was the failures of the peace treaty of WW1 that made WW2 inevitable. That is why the US created the Marshall plan and invested trillions of dollars (inflation adjusted) in Europe and Japan after WW2. This is also why we left our troops there after the war and didn't simply pack up and go home like we did after WW1.

I'll illustrate my point about bias and how it affects models with a simple example from the recent news. To illustrate I'll make a point about when Trump that isn't intended to be pro or anti Trump. If you recall when he first talked about building the wall many people in the US media said that this was racist. Interestingly the very counties with the highest proportions of Hispanic voters in the US are all along the border and they voted overwhelmingly for Trump. Mexico supported the wall (and has one on their souther border) for reducing the drug trade that causes incredible levels of violence in Mexico. Notably this is the very kind of thing that the data speaks against and that AI should be able to help debunk. What would happen if you had trained your AI that the wall with Mexico was racist?

Silicon Valley cannot see that the progressive bias and assumptions they are using to train AI's are alienating the public. The point being that Silicon Valley must own their progressive bias just as much as any other form of bias. If they do not they will continue to alienate anyone that isn't a progressive.

The rise of Parler, Rumble and the antitrust lawsuits that are now being filed by the federal government and states are directly related to the loss of public trust in big tech. Big techs obsession with pushing progressive values and censoring conservative values is what gave people the political will to finally file the antitrust cases currently in court and the others making their way to court.
