When Trump publicly claims “the right to do anything I want to do” and the news media *still* won’t say his goal is a dictatorship, that’s both cowardice and complicity. And a shameful dereliction of duty.

Overnight, this extremely well-funded tech company run by a billionaire has gone from “There’s no way we can possibly stop our plagiarism machine from convincing children to kill themselves” to “If you type anything we don’t like, we’re calling the cops.” Either way, they take zero responsibility.
