@shaman The Iranians are just irresponsible enough to support this sort of rash action.

@internetarchive The Internet EXISTS because it consists of privately owned and operated networks which share traffic for their mutual benefit. Want to nationalize my network? Tough.

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle Libraries, yes. Piracy, no. And the so-called "Internet Archive" engages in unabashed piracy.

@xinniw @pluralistic I have a small business. No way Uncle Sam could just send me a bill.

@bananarama @xinniw @pluralistic The IRS can’t know who patronized me, how much they paid, how much I spent. I’ve still got to prepare forms.

@dave Yep. Probably why @NPR, which he falsely labeled as state-sponsored media, has left the building.

@endDRM Oh? Then why do you attempt to slap a restrictive "license" on software that relies on copyright law?

@internetarchive You are not a library. You are a wholesale pirate of intellectual property.

@dave It's valuable to fail now and then, but it's ESPECIALLY valuable for pompous jerks like Elon to fail. It teaches us about hubris.

@evacide As we both know, EFF won't disclose the full amount of "dark money" it receives from Google. But the direct funding, "cy pres" money, in-kind contributions, and direct and indirect support of staff and directors is already quite substantial. EFF is a Google shill.

@evacide Nope; they're simply doing it by paying you. EFF is one of Google's many shill organizations, as documented in court records.

@evacide 4. Google isn't paying you to lobby about it.
