Where is the logical connection between being a billionaire & shutting down a publication in a vindictive manner established?
ANYONE disagreeing with negative press about themselves will do everything in their power to do so. From politicians to people accessing reputation management services [1], in general, people with shut down negative opinion against them. So, the "logical" fallacy is in attributing wealth to reputation management, when everyone, from the very poor to the very rich, and otherwise powerful behave the exact same way.
Disallowing people from becoming billionaires by using punitive taxation is NOT logic.

- emodendroket 9y agoIt has a lot to do with it. Only the very wealthy have the means to fund nuisance lawsuits until a publication is forced to shut down (or, for that matter, effectively bend the ear of influential politicians, etc.). The rest of us are stuck with stuff like Reputation Defender, which is not very effective, and in any case does not completely shut down any news organization.
