Why the fuck are they all paying him off? This is clear-cut extortion. If they fight this in court, they will win. WTF?

What would youtube gain from those other bribes?

[–] ButtermilkBiscuit@feddit.nl 7 points 6 hours ago

Because it's a bribe. The "do no evil" squad sure does look more evil every day.

Has anyone been banned from Truth Social? Should be millions in compensation for blocking their free speech.

Can't get away from mainstream socials without trying to build something better, first. I don't think peertube is a bad start.

Judgments against corporations like this should never have a solid number. It should be a large percentage of annual profits you’re over here.

Country companies like alphabet already have a slush fund set aside to cover such expenses. These judgments against them mean absolutely nothing unless it actually hurts them.

It's Trump suing them in a civil trial. He wanted $22m or he would block Google from Billions in contracts.
