“I don't need programmers. I write programs to write programs.“

This statement seems deliberately obtuse.

Umm... that statement has nothing to do with what I said.

Taking away anonymity from platforms always governments to target any individual that steps out of line.

The hero comment is beside the point. When a company literally force the government to make laws in retaliation for the shitty way a company runs their business is proof the “strategy” is unethical and illegal.

Downvote me all you want the truth is still true.

The proposal seems like it would do a lot more harm than good. Users who live in a dictatorship would have one of the biggest channels to tell their story stripped from them.

Hopefully

Do you think there could be a reasonable way to fix that issue?

Maybe a compromise between voters picking where their taxes go and a minimum for what tax payers have to pay for a certain area?

Your point is extremely valid. Misinformation spread online and repeat in echo chambers seems to be the political climate for the USA.

Personally, I consider myself to be a Republican, but it seems fear and hatred has tainted my party. A great example would be to look at all the Republican presidential candidates for 2016 and watch how many opposed the current administration.

However, once they saw the voters following they were forced to do the same rather than demonstrate what a backbone is for.
