Regulating Big Tech is like regulating a malignant tumour. You don’t regulate a malignant tumour. You cut it out, with enough of a surgical margin to ensure you get every last putrid bit to avoid regrowth.

(This is moot, of course, as we’re not even regulating Big Tech, we’re feeding it with subsidies, government contracts, and access to national healthcare and other sensitive data while the folks who should be regulating them eye their next lucrative gig beyond the revolving doors of their lobbies.)

Mastodon for Hunger Relief has hit another milestone, crossing $3000. https://www.grapevine.org/giving-circle/xBnCKKa/Mastodon-for-Hunger-Relief
I’m going to make the next goal $5000. Thank you to those who have boosted and contributed. We are showing that we support those in the crosshairs of Trump’s refusal to fund food benefits while his fascist party insists on higher healthcare costs for most Americans. 1/
