Remember when the Kennedy name was a mark of quality for politicians and not a surgeon general's warning? "Caution: May contain high levels of crazy."
And to think that phony "No Labels" organization actually supports this guy! How about we elect a politician that actually DOES stuff instead of spreading conspiracy theories and demonizing already disenfranchised groups of people? Denying a transgender person health care never put food on my table, just sayin'.
and 86 times the weekly active user base of the largest Twitter rival in the U.S., Truth Social, which had a weekly active user base of 1 million as of last week.
First off, I do not like having this information. Secondly,
Still ahead for the app are larger improvements like a following feed
Imagine. A platform whose main functionality is and always has been content from followed users, but they consented to release without the follow button. I don't understand why that's anything but decimating to their usage. Even more confusing when you find there are already multiple avenues to buy bot followers, which may be what's happening in India. They could just be preparing their market (tagging @stopthatgirl7 so I don't have to split my train of thought into redundant comments)
I'd be very interested to know what Instagram's sign-ups look like. It's nothing to say that threads got X many users when doing that entails having an instagram. What's the split here? Has there been an increase in people making those for the purpose of Threads, or is this just existing users branching out towards every available opportunity? Because not doing that would only logically put them at a disadvantage if their goal is visibility.
Also listed is Vintage Firearms, the store that sold the shooter the gun, and RMA Armament, the online retailer the shooter used to purchased body armor.
Assuming that Vintage Firearms and RMA Armament complied with the applicable ATF regulations, I'm not sure how they're responsible in any way, unless the point is to use lawsuits to bankrupt a legal business for acting in a legal way. It would make as much sense as suing Ford for manufacturing and selling a vehicle that was used to intentionally run over pedestrians. It's unreasonable to expect that a firearms retailer is going to be able to ascertain the future actions of every single person that purchases a firearm.
Likely, yes. Which is why the PLCAA was originally passed. While I'm certain that people who believe they are on the political left don't see why this would be a problem, it's easy to apply the same principle to any business that someone on the right disagrees with, in order to eliminate business models that social/economic regressives disagree with.
From Montana to New York, forecasters predicted nearly 60 million people would see decreased visibility and poor air quality, including residents of Chicago, Detroit, New York, St. Louis, Cedar Rapids and Cleveland.
Although the fine is nothing to meta, I guess if more countries follow and they make it permanent it’ll have an impact. Either way a step in the right direction
I’m glad Threads isn’t available over here. I wouldn’t have signed up either way but I’m sure a lot of people I know would have, so I would’ve been alienated from them.
i don’t support the idea of federating with threads; but as the platform is not available in europe - if they did activate federation, europeans would in theory flock to whatever instance federated with threads. which could be a boon for the wider fediverse; and could earn pixelfed and similar platforms room for competition with instagram etc.
the fine is the less important, the fine is the big deal here. Not because Norway will be big enough to make them to change, but because it can send the example for the EU and other countries and if the rest of the world (I have very little hope for the US to go against a corporation) bans Facebook, then they’ll have to move and change their antics.
I’m not positive but from the way they described it in the article I think this money is seperate from what could be spent on legal fees. But with Trump who really knows. Legality of actions never seems to really stop him.
