Where the Sidewalk Ends: The Death of the Internet (2021)

This is why I demand to see the goods up front. If you don't want to answer my questions, that's cool, but there's no reason to answer yours then.

I'm sure you are aware of this, but I never said anything about legality, or even talked about it. Looks like you're going with the classic scumbag fallback of "its not illegal" before I even suggested you did anything wrong. Kinda sad that your default position isn't that you're in the right, just that you aren't breaking the law.

I'll leave you to your day with this: it might be worth your time to consider activities that benefit the world rather than just plodding from one technically legal trollfarm to the next - most people find the rewards of being useful quite nice. Cheers and good luck!

...because you want to steer the conversation to predetermined conclusions and are incensed that other people won't play along?

The era of the proletariat blindly believing whatever the petit bourgeoisie tell them is dead and gone, and attempts to silence the proletariat when petit bourgeoisie are caught doing unethical things doubly so. Information wants to be free.

Lol no silly. Because I want to have answers to my questions and an actual conversation, not sit around and play mental patty cake with someone incapable of participating in actual conversion. When your only response is to ask a bunch of nonsense questions that aren't in any way related to what I'm asking or saying, you aren't conversing, it's just some childish game of avoidance.

Dismissing my answers does not make them any less answers. Also, I'm not the one refusing to have an actual conversation. That's you. You said you wouldn't answer my questions until I answered yours... so I did, and now here we are with you continuing to avoid those very uncomfortable questions.

Maybe you should just admit that you just hate KF and don't care if they're silenced or not. That at least would be honest.

Ahahaha - you didn't answer my questions. For most of you asked a bunch of non-sequitur questions. For one of them you decided to pretend you were in a court and then tossed in some legal sounding gish gallop. I get it, you don't know the difference between answers and babble. That's ok, not everyone can be competent at basic human interaction, but it also means you don't know how to participate in a conversation. If you want me to try and make sense of your drivel in good faith, you too have to participate in good faith.

What's so "scumbag" in trying to rely on the law and law enforcement for getting rid of bad and harmful things? I'm a normal citizen, I'm perfectly happy to leave the judgement to the courts. Am I a scumbag because of this?
