Do democrats even have a plan to fight misinformation and hate speech on Social Media?

I was revisiting old BP episode and saw this https://youtu.be/USW89fX3RbI

Does anyone remember when politicians cared about Facebook destroying mental health and causing hate speech?

Anyone remember Cambridge analytica? And how facebooks misinformation helped the most corrupt president in history to take power?

I remember those hearings with robotic mark Zuckerberg that ended up in toothless moderation and fact checkers being hired.

Now under the Trump regime they even fired whatever moderators they had and hate speech and misinformation runs rampant on Facebook and all social media

The problem is section 230. Sure they can choose whatever policy they want but they shouldn’t be exempt from facing the legal consequences of the policy they set.

Fox was ordered to pay millions by the court after being found to have spreading disinformation, but Facebook which did a way bigger job of that? Faced zero consequences.

Do democrats have a plan to fix this? Or they are as usual sitting on their asses doing nothing?

Harassment, Bullying, hate speech, misinformation, racism is running rampant on oligarch controlled social media and we don’t even have a plan to do anything about it.

There continue to be cases of cyberbullying targeting children, minorities and inciting racism Twitter is the prime example for it. With Elmo at the helm with his army of neo-nazis brainwashed on daily basis by his misinformation feeding algorithm.

I guess everyone is too busy with the pedo president and rampant corruption that they don’t have time for these things, but remember the MAGAs had time to plan and rename a freakin boat after an African American Soldier while dems here are overwhelmed.

TSX:FORA Vertical Scope Holdings a missed opportunity for what could have been Canada’s Reddit.

Today I saw Reddit stock jump 10% and it reminded me of FORA. It’s a Canadian company that owns several discussion forums online such as Toyota nation and ifish.net. Basically it’s like Reddit but if each sub was a separate website.

Now given how much Reddit gets referenced my AI chatbots one would not be forgiven to think that vertical scope should be benefiting from the data it has on its 1000+ forums. But no this company has flat revenues since it IPOed in 2020.

If you go to their website it feels like it was made by a high school student text misaligned and not even any links to the forums they own they just have greyscale logos and mind you they have over 100+ million monthly active users.

Moreover if you go to their forum pages though they are so active the website design seems so dated. These guys didn’t even bother to put in a minor AI chatbots that fetches answers for you on the website like Reddit does.

This seems like a bit of a sad state of affairs for a Canadian company with great potential. Having said that I still believe authentic data is the king in the AI age so it should have some value at some point. They did change CEO last year(an internal hire tho) so let’s see if things pickup. The company does have a market cap(70 million)below its annual revenue revenue(81 million)

As US corporate profit margins hit all time highs of 15%+ in Q2 2026, we must remember the quote from Adam Smith the father of Capitalism, “Rate of profit is always highest in countries that going fastest to ruin”.

Fareed Zakaria: “Democrats need to stop imagining that Medicare for all and Wealth Tax will restore the new deal coalition”

https://youtu.be/HuxVauzKvNE

Not sure if he’s trying to prepare for the CNN ownership by Ellison Family or what but this one was crazy.

He even goes on to blame democrats for going “too far” on abortion. “3-point gap over abortion in 1980 became a 30point gap by 2024.”

It’s almost as if the abortion is was literally settled by Supreme Court in 1973 and almost every developed country in the world has Medicare for all and abortion rights safeguarded.

Anyone here contested a parking ticket recently?

I have decided to contest a parking ticket I got last week.

  1. I mailed the not guilty plea to the provincial court and am waiting to get a trial date by mail.

  2. Once I get the trial date my strategy is to request the disclosure from the prosecutor.

  3. Then build my case using the 1995 act available online. This is where I need help, I have never been to court so I’m wondering how prepared should I be? Like I have photographs and can write a statement for the judge. The offence was being parked too close to the cross walk (I measured I was exactly 6.5m away)
