Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

michael-laugh I can't believe this is real holy shit

In a statement on Tuesday about the lawsuit, X’s chief executive, Linda Yaccarino, said: “People are hurt when the marketplace of ideas is constricted. No small group of people should monopolize what gets monetized.”

Literally a plan that would be dreamed up by Ricky from Trailer Park Boys.

The difference is that Ricky would actually be able to talk the judge into agreeing with him:

Your honour, I'm moving the court to sentence Mr. Lahey to pay me like a million dollars for being a drunk bastard and for not buying weed from me anymore. He used to buy all his weed from me but now that he's back on the liquor he doesn't smoke weed any more and that is fucked up. Your honour, I try to run a small business and now this drunk trailer park supervisor is violating all my human amendment charters.

Using the Canadian People's Freedom of Choices and Voices Act to force advertisers to buy ads to buy his hash coins and also pay him in hash coins

Simple supply and command

Ricky wouldn't be so litigious. He'd have to pay for a lawyer, most of which cost more than $12.35, some hash and six or seven sticks of pepperoni (pepperoni in this case being a local misnomer for what's really closer to a polish sausage, nova Scotia has weird food quirks)

Ricky doesn't need a lawyer. He represents himself and he does it well.

Thanks to the people's voices and choices act or whatever the fuck ever
