They should've just declared bankruptcy and reformed a new media organization, then pre emptively sued thiel with their own slaap suits.
Why does no one hit these epstein level billionaires back with lawsuits? We should be burying them. We should've been fundraising to sponsor lawsuits for people they have cheated, the president for his contractors he hasn't paid for instance, those that haven't already settled after he sued them after cheating them. Thiel likewise. We could have bake sales, we could sponsor events, like runs, 20 dollars for a local race to go to suing these guys for real perversions of justice. There are a lot of possibilities.
We need our own forums, social media is hooked by these people, so they would shut that stuff down if tried now. We need new federated social media, with clear and fair enforcement of rules, both in the instances and the main forum(s) such as appeals that culminate in jury trials of members of that instance/forum for violations.
Because with a fair enforcement system we would get the exodus from social media and get critical mass, as social media is selling out to the administration more every day, confident that people have no where else to go. In fact homeland security has sent a raft of "administrative subpoenas to social media, fb, twitter, reddit, for details on people critical of ICE, CBP, etc., for personal details on the users, and reddit and the rest said they mostly complied. Not seemingly telling the users so it can be challenged.
Social media gave up, they gave us up. We have no where else to go and will be locked down in a rigged system. Let's make them wrong about that.
Because I don't think you fully grasp just how much money a single billion dollars is, much less dozens or hundreds of billions. They have legions of people on payroll whose sole job is to make problems go away
They have limitless piles of money with which to tank anything plebs or businesses can throw at them in a courtroom.
You could fundraise and every single person in America could donate $10 and you'd still only have $3.4B. Thiel's estimated at 24ish billion. Also consider that at least 1/3 of Americans are actively sinking for this dystopian hellscape.
There is nothing anyone is going to be able to do in a courtroom against billionaires.
