Looking at what a fully Democratic state government has done in Michigan already from a single election cycle, I think you're wrong. As soon as Republicans get out of office good things can start to happen.

Thanks, must've missed it in the earlier coverage.

So terrible. Has there been any word on what started the fire? I didn't see it in the article and don't remember reading the cause in any of the other articles covering this.

The malware disguises itself as authentic Google ads

Fair enough.

What happened to respecting states rights? So sick of the judicial branch in the US, the most untethered and corrupt branch of them all. Which is saying a lot considering the state of the legislative branch.

You think almost $800 million is a slap on the wrist?

Comparing that to Fox's profits? Yes, yes I do think that's a slap on the wrist compared to the greater implications this could've had on the media landscape.

You show up in my inbox, did you forget how forums function again? I thought you said this was harassment. Why are you harassing me by your own definition?

Lol bro is so mad nobody believes his easily provable lie

This just in folks, less than a paragraph of text is now a manifesto lmfao

It's barely even a dent in their yearly profit margin. Fox doesn't give a shit about this, they can still keep doing what they've been doing without any real consequence.

Of course not, that's ridiculous and you know it.

This case could've easily been used to challenge the previous finding that they had no obligation to tell the truth as an entertainment company, but Dominion chose money instead. If you're happy with them getting a slap on the wrist as opposed to a real chance of forcing a change in operations at Fox then that's on you. I choose to see the reality in that Dominion chose greed over doing something meaningful in court when they had a rock solid case.

He's really not though, he's just on another platform doing the same thing. He's not actually suffering any consequences for his actions and the person taking his spot isn't any better.

Not really, they took a big payout and Fox is doing fine. Very disappointing outcome tbh.

Edit: Downvoters, lying to yourself doesn't change the reality that Tucker and Fox are largely unaffected by this. Tucker can still spew lies all over the internet and Fox barely noticed a drop in profit for the year. I don't understand why we're suddenly okay with large corporations only getting a slap on the wrist.

It's unironically me sometimes and I hate it

Yeah, that's why I said "at least" because I'm sure there's earlier examples but that was the largest recent example.

can we post there and direct them to Lemmy?

I mean sure, you can do whatever you want. It's a (mostly) free internet.

You're probably right lmao

you’ve disproportionally raised the bar for a random internet Comment.

Asking for easily obtainable proof of a slanderous claim is now an unobtainable standard, folks lmfao

because I have a real world adult life.

You've been in this comment section for six hours lmfao

My brother in Christ if you want to simp for your instance

Nobody that replied to this chain is from lemmy.world, swing and a miss lmfao

you don’t HAVE to harass literally anybody in the area to do so.

Replying to comments is not harassment, it's how forums function. The block button can be found on any comment, you click the three dots to pull it up if it's not there already in the app you use. It's free to use and you're welcome to it if this is "harassment" lmfao

I'm pretty sure you're trolling at this point though, so kudos for being as convincing as you were for that long lol

Not that I disagree with you, but I was more responding to the fact that they said they can't find anybody else reporting about it. I was saying that there's not much to report because this is kind of old news. I understand why more news agencies aren't picking up on this, like, government agencies known for sucking up data are still sucking up data. -shrug-

I can’t find many other articles discussing this.

We've known they've been doing this since at least Snowden, what's the story?

Remember that government agency that hoovers up all our data? Yeah, they're still doing that. Only they don't have to try as hard because they can just buy our info instead of snooping for it (but they're also still snooping).

Maybe it's good to remind people it's still happening because apparently everyone forgot we were told they've been doing this, for a while.
