Reminder: Epic CEO Tim Sweeney has defended child pornography, saying that stopping it is "gatekeeping".

All mega corps are shit and run by assholes.

Except Costco. For now at least.

As someone who just tried to sign up for a Costco membership online and couldn't get past the first page of registration, on multiple devices, Costco is kinda shit too, lol.

Thanks, John Google.

It wasn't so much he was defending child pornography as he was saying leftists wanted to selectively take down a right-wing social media platform that right-wingers already successfully took from leftists and replaced with X.

That's definitely an opinion. A wrong one, but an opinion.

That's fine and all, but the same people saying Sweeney defended pedophilia are close to if not the same people who say you're defending pedophiles if you don't like payment processors strong-arming porn off of a bunch of different platforms. This is not an accusation against you.

I've literally never heard that claim until just now.

That's not surprising. There aren't a lot of people rising up to defend the porn games that got delisted on sites like itch. Don't worry, once all the porn is gone you'll be hearing people saying the same thing to you when you argue against using facial recognition to shitpost on the internet. Gotta protect the kids!
