The evidence exists. So too do the drastic pleas for help. And yet it’s still business as usual. I suppose we really shouldn’t be surprised. This is capitalism through and through.

#2,080- Blue Sky

Greatest. Idea. Ever.

Social Media is at a crossroads. As Twitter, Facebook and others finally crack down on Donald Trump and other extremists who spread lies and sprout nonsense there is real concern for what this all means. Do these sites have too much power with their ability to “deplatform” someone and essentially silence them? Or are they just doing what they should have been doing all along?
