There were 53 million households in the US with cable when the fairness doctrine was eliminated in 1987. Cable and the Internet are where and why the people we have been talking about weren’t deplatformed. The Internet has been around since the 60s. I think you might be confusing it with the World Wide Web which is a 90s thing.
Trump has said that his favorite president is Andrew Jackson… the dude who perpetrated the Trail of Tears…
AFAIK the alert voices, like the ones for the NOAA, were automated already.
I can’t agree with you on the fairness doctrine specifically; first it only applied to over-the-air broadcasting, (so ABC, NBC, etc.) but not cable or the Internet. Secondly it was largely interpreted by these networks as forcing fringe views into the main stream. So they would have a faith healer on at the same time as a doctor, or a creationist on at the same time as a paleontologist. There are those who feel that this led directly to our current “my faith is as important as your reason” problem.
It’s what Game Stop (and a myriad of other “buy, sell, trade” stores) does with used games and consoles but with cars. eBay exists but most people don’t want to go to that much trouble.
I haven’t heard that in a long time, most people just say iHole now.
As confusing as it is this does still all fit into Theil’s plan to isolate the US in order to create a corpo-fascist state and bring back apartheid.
To further your point, this is how shit like Al Franken happens.
In general conservatives see themselves as generally good people who occasionally do bad things but it’s okay because that’s still a good person who has good intentions. Whereas in their eyes people who are in out groups are bad people who are always going to do bad things no matter what because they have bad intentions.
Where do you think AccuWeather gets their data?
This is already a copyright apocalypse though isn’t it? If there is nothing wrong with this then where is the line? Is it okay for Disney to make a movie using an AI trained on some poor sap on Deviant Art’s work? This feels like copyright laundering. I fail to see how we aren’t just handing the keys of human creativity to only those with the ability to afford a server farm and teams of lawyers.
As a UX person often my job is to implement somebody else’s vision rather than being able to design something that makes sense.
This is the 21st century though so it’s going to be sub-dermal RFID tags that get scanned like toll booth passes in cars.
