"A federal judge will now decide what commission, if any, is reasonable."

Normalizing theft. Paid developer accounts are $99/yr for individuals; $299/yr for enterprise. Apple (like a slick snake oil salesman), keeps total paid developers a secret. They keep how much they get annually from paid developer accounts a secret. They combine the figures they get from the paid developer accounts with the mafia extortion tax they collect for each sale (which is a combined total of about 109 billion dollars? for hosting apps.)

Now these greedy ****s want more money on outbound links/sales which will facilitate even more tracking from the "privacy" company.

The system lets then get away with this. The system lets the ruling class get away with anything they want.

If Hollywood could, they would banish every tool that would enable any creator to complete with them. This is a filthy business filled with grifters that is allowed to lie about the profits they make. The IRS, the US government and Hollywood just called it "Hollywood Accounting" and laugh about it to our faces.

If a large part of AI's existence is to further weaponize it against foreign countries (and continued attacks on US citizens), this is precisely the kind of test that needs to be performed. What we're witnessing with these "AI runs amok" stories are real-life testing for the coming police state.

Every accusation is a confession. Trump has confessed to the following.

Government actors will exploit through a cyberattack." "Malign actors (like the US and israel) to surveil Americans, enhance the capabilities of foreign intelligence services (israel), or to remotely commandeer the robots (US and israel)."

Weaponizing every single piece of tech against the American people is exactly what this zio-fascist police state has been up to in plain sight. They need to control "America's critical supply chains" in order to accomplish the above.

We no longer have a working government. Any attempts to complain will label you an enemy of the state.

If you are against pump-and-dump schemes, a corrupt economic model and a rigged system.... you are Anti-American -- The One-Party System.

UK official promises increased surveillance against their citizens. VPNs, chatbots, social media, cameras, spyware built into Operating Systems... there is nothing you do anywhere in society that you will not be punished for - even if we have to invent new laws to get you.

$80 million: Global Engagement Center (GEC)

$400 million: Countering PRC Malign Influence Fund (The Title LOL)

$300: National Endowment for Democracy (NED) (The one-party system)

Legal Framework: Smith-Mundt Act: The Smith-Mundt Act (modernized in 2013) legally permits the U.S. government to produce propaganda and information materials for foreign audiences and, crucially, allows these materials to be accessible within the U.S. (previously banned)

VS Code from Microsoft. Github, Microsoft owned. Security researchers have been warning about this for years. Microsoft was told, repeatedly. Microsoft "did" what it always does - cash their paychecks, laughing all the way to the bank.

> If an attacker has enough control of your machine...

Not a plot-twist. Microsoft is the attacker or aiding and abetting someone that is. You are evaluating the world as if rules of conduct still exist anywhere among the ruling class.

Nice try Miscavige (LOL) - Alleged and/or proven in court: Financial exploitation / Extortion, Fraud and deceptive business practices / Abuse and mistreatment of members / Forced labor / Harassment, intimidation, and private investigations of critics and defectors (including alleged smear campaigns) / Litigation and strategic lawsuits against critics and journalists / pressuring members to cut ties with critics or exmembers, family / Withholding medical care or discouraging psychiatric treatment / Psychological manipulation and highcontrol/cultlike behaviors (auditing). There so much more... If this is their punishment, they are getting off easy.

The doublespeak: "fully [aligns] with national procedures, diplomatic protocols, and the broader objective of fostering a balanced and consensus-driven platform for dialogue." There are so many guardrails, you can't discuss the blatant disregard of digital rights by (fascist) western governments and the mainstream media that supports them. As if further proof is needed, digitalRights has been cancelled for the foreseeable future by democratic powers committing war crimes.

The US is - and has long been - a rogue terror state.

First the FBI starts trying to knock the doors down at archive.today trying to find the owner (and likely to access backend data). After that, archive.today makes VPN connections more difficult (were they being targeted with criminally suspicious uploads?). Now archive.today is being blamed for DDoS attacks against others and harming their own integrity (wth) by randomly screwing around with uploads. So suspicious... Are there files at archive.today that were uploaded that should not have been? Epstein related? Another op against the United States by a parasitic israel? (I mention the two main triggers that exist today). Is this all connected? Forced IDs, Google locking down sideloading, Microsoft creeping into user's OneDrive accounts and blaming software bugs, Discord, more sites making VPN access more difficult, tons more... Is Big Tech now such an extension of the new fascist state that we can't tell where the state ends and Big Tech begins?

Hollywood is spending a ton of money (partially funded & directed by gov agencies) on an army of bots and shills to target anyone using AI that may encroach on their territory. Hollywood isn't just about entertainment, it's about manipulating the population to behave a certain way. Their well-documented close ties with the government speaks to this. Their well-documented close ties to a specific foreign nation speaks to this. They spent a ton of money buying out the threat that TikTok posed to continue gaslighting, they sure aren't going to let AI content creators into the conversation. That's laughable. So like many others, I ask... where can I stream this?
