Are "reality denial" and "hate against truth" core libertarian traits?

Regarding lifetimes, I once got a VPN subscription for their lifetime plan which wasn't really, but they at least were explicit by showing prominently on the payment page that by that word they meant 7 years.

Yep. Influential Libertarians gave full support to Pinochet's dictatorship in Chile back in the day; show a lot of support for Monarchism; ranged from indifferent to outright hostile towards the Civil Rights movement, and so on.

Once that level is achieved, YouTube and other platforms will start promoting mostly their own AI-slop over 3rd party content producers. This way they'll keep 100% of the ad and subscription revenues generated. No need to share revenue with creators if there are no creators.

Evidently, this transition will be slow enough for most people, both those watching as well as creators, whose revenues will start slowly stagnating, then decreasing, not to notice.

Networking effects prevent that. It's possible, but unlikely.

EDIT: president as during in the then -> president during the then

R&D became extremely expensive since Trump 1's elimination of same-year tax exemption for R&D expenses went into effect.

He had timed it, and the mass layoffs it'd cause, for the next president after him, assuming he'd be reelected. His sucessor, likely a democrat, would have taken the blunt, with the GOP then pointing at the horrible state of employment under that future president as during in the then distant 2026 mid-terms.

Things didn't go as planned though. Trump lost the reelection, Biden was elected, and Trump himself became the target of his original time bomb. So at least in this case the thing backfired Dick Dastardly-style.

If any of that is government owned, it's on the chopping board.

I imagine they think it that can be provided by private weather corporations turned defense contractors and selling the information to the government.

A huge amount of stuff that the US government used to do in-house was outsourced over the decades, first to a broad range of small independent defense contractors, then to monopolies as those consolidated, thus now costing ten times as much as it should. There's no reason weather forecasting cannot become another monopoly defense contracting service charging the government an arm and a leg, and a mere kidney from private citizens in need of advanced hurricane alerts.

Project 2025 has, among is many, many goals, removing from government anything and everything that competes with private corporations. This includes weather forecasting. AccuWeather's CEO, in particular, has been a strong proponent of the US government simply stopping all of it, so he can charge more from people for his company's services as the free competition goes away.

What part of "or take advantage of the free public API" wasn't clear?

Interestingly, no such company exists here in Brazil. The reason is that our government has been offering full tax filling apps for free since I remember filling taxes (about 25 years). It's written in Java and runs on Windows, Linux and Mac without any problem. And for people who a normal salary, without investments or anything complicated, there's also free simplified tax filling apps for Android and iOS.

If the person has extra-complex stuff going on with their earnings, they can hire an accountant to fill the taxes for them. That accountant, in turn, will use the same app on their end, or take advantage of the free public API.

And if one's extra fancy, one can sign their submission with a publicly available encrypted token. This one is paid for, but it's also fully optional, and only people who do LOTS of stuff involving governmental systems get one, as it makes signing into those services faster and easier. So if one already has one for other uses, using it to sign their tax submission is a no-brainer.

Anonymity is eliminated. In countries adopting these policies one cannot watch YouTube content targeted at adults without signing into a Google account and having their face or ID scanned into a database they have no control over. Additionally, hundreds of smaller sites are closing because their operators cannot afford the intrusive ID tech, including text games that have existed since the early 2000s, as well as online forums that existed since the 1990s, where children hardly went. Slashdot itself, were it hosted in the UK, which is slightly ahead of the curve on these matters, would have likely closed too. In fact, in the UK Wikipedia is being threatened, and there are plans there to force VPN providers to start preventing citizens from sidestepping all of that.

Additionally, payment processors are taking part of the censorship efforts. Steam and Itchio were forced to remove thousands of adult games that are completely legal due to pressure from Visa and Mastercard, both of which have also forced physical and online stores to either remove legal adult content or close -- and some had no choice but to close. All that adult material, which, again, is fully legal, is now almost impossible to acquire legally.

TL;DR: anonymity, privacy, and free exchange of legal adult content.

As I said, I have no interest in your antisemitism. Bye.

Sorry, I have a grand total of zero interest in antisemitic nonsense.

And before you say unhinged, I oppose the genocide of the Palestinians by Israel's government, while supporting the sane side of Israeli politics, which alas is currently powerless and incapable of stopping the madness.
