Very insightful, except that this outcome is inevitable now even if they don't ban him. Go ahead, play your thought experiment out completely in the other direction. What happens if Twitter's TOS proves completely unenforceable because the very President of the United States even flaunts it and any actions taken to improve the quality of the dialogue are seen as hostile, thereby ironically turning it into nothing more than an amplifier for endless unchecked hostility. How, exactly, do you think advertisers and investors would react to that? Keep in mind most of them are the same so-called "leftists" who would cringe and recoil in horror at the thought their agencies profits or spending might be associated directly with any sort of racist or violence-inciting dialogue.
We're all scoring comments on you. All of us. If you registered you'd know that. Everyone gets mod points assigned based on how often they post and how often they spend their mod points.
Isn't even threatening to do that illegal? This is vigilante justice from the ISP and they're not even the injured party here even in the cases where they are actually right that it's piracy and not just a World of Warcraft patch or a work VPN.
The war doesn't have to be interplanetary. We have enough firepower to do that to this planet all by ourselves. Also note that our own solar system's asteroid belt was probably once also a planet.
Are you trying to make your point by posting it as an example of said deliberately alarmist and inaccurate language or are you really just that big of a hypocrite?
I fear you may be looking at this all wrong. Those are all valid questions, but I think you left out one very important one: WHAT WAS THE FBI HIDING BY DOING THIS? It seems obvious to me that the whole point of them getting software from 3rd party foreign nationals is specifically to obscure the auditing process of what they bought, not improve it. It also helps shift the blame away from them too, if you add a heaping dose of plausible deniability.
To be fair, I think it's reasonable to expect that our trade partnership with China is much more profitable to them than another cold war. This actually can't really be said for our trade partnership with Russia even on a good day. (And I don't necessarily think that's Russia's fault, but I don't see how this behavior is going to fix anything, either.)
The Switch cartridges are much faster, that is all. There is also already a built-in microSD card slot that supports up to 256GB flash cards, but it seems to be reserved for ancillary data (replays, screenshots, etc)
Oh, I'm with you, but the ostensible reason is that it's not guaranteed to be drinkable because of air pollution. Also, the same concrete river in question channeling all that flood water to the ocean also is used by numerous factories for dumping gray water.
Yea but in the desert, the environmental side-effects of solar and wind power installations (increased shade and reduced erosion) are both considered basically beneficial or at least harmless. You can't say the same for a hydroelectric dam even on a good day when it's not drowning 150,000 people.

People more educated than you said the same thing about Trump becoming president.
A million!? Wishful thinking. I bet you put like 50, tops, underground, inside fault lines and the planet cracks like an egg.

I thought it was a good idea, actually.

Modding me down is harassment.

Well, they should definitely be banned from lying. But technically they already are. They just keep getting away with it anyway.
What about my Commodore 64?
I was about to post "is this for real?" too. But it's probably also worth noting that you can discredit a victim by attacking in an esoteric fashion.

You're onto something there. The question I think we should be asking though is why wasn't there an audit?

That is a lie. They already pay an ISP for bandwidth. All it did was prevent double-dipping charges.
Wolf in sheep costume.

Due to malicious legislation in Arizona it's actually cheaper for them to sell renewable electricity to neighboring states than to their own citizens.

Don't tell them shit until you're on the departing flight. Make sure you use up all your sick days and vacation time first, too.
... is that they attained funding and were allowed to deploy it without answering any of these issues first.
This is a perfect example of the type of divisive bullshit they'd be posting too. Almost too perfect of an example, actually...
The answer is nobody. Bananas are extinct.
