    You know, that was a good article until the author took a completely unnecessary and irrelevant swipe at Biden; at which point I completely lost interest in anything the author had to say.

    I’m really fucking tired of political bullshit being embedded into every-goddamned-thing I read.

      Thank goodness someone is here to defend the reactionary fuck who was literally creating a Disinformation Governance Board as part of the ever-expanding police state and its fascist DHS organization. /s

        Oh boo hoo. I would have bitched if it was a completely-out-of-place swipe at any politician, even ones I hate. I would have bitched just as much if it was an anti-trump joke. It was irrelevant and obnoxious, shitty, opportunistic writing.

        I don’t give fuck one about Biden, but I do give fuck one about journalistic integrity, which the author seems to lack.

          Some have suggested that the lack of Google alumni on the transition team of president-elect Joe Biden, a noted sex pest, might bode well for a crackdown, though the presence of veterans from other tech giants like Amazon and Uber suggests otherwise

          a completely-out-of-place swipe

          Ah. I see you think that reminders that the man in the most powerful position in the world is an actual fucking rapist are totally irrelevant…while that guy is currently helping to dictate what people may and may not see on the Internet. What could go wrong with a rapist deciding to further marginalize rape victims by making them even more invisible?

          Brilliant!

      It was good during and after that part too.

      lmao. You are in a thread about a protest and its consequences reading an article from a socialist magazine about capitalism and its detrimental effects on search engines. You are very clearly not tired of reading about politics, but instead are just upset that your guy got off-handedly dunked on. It was an extremely small portion of the article. Get over it dude.

        Biden’s not my guy. He’s way too far to the right for me, and way too interested in maintaining the status quo. Give me a leader that doesn’t mind breaking a few noses and telling the GOP exactly where they can shove their christofascist bullshit.

        But the unnecessary, irrelevant jab was just lazy, shitty writing; trying to score a couple giggle points at the cost of the author’s journalistic integrity. It was out of place, hamfisted, and just plain lazy.

        Besides, the internet is bigger than US politics. I’m sure Brazil or Luxembourg doesn’t give a shit about our politics insofar as it doesn’t affect them.
