The SPAC is up almost 1000% in less than 48 hours. I suspect the courts & media will find some way to tear it down.

The same thing that happened with Parlor. I think the Moderate Left needs to come to grips with the fact that the Authoritarian Left's insistence on silencing and cancelling the unfaithful is most directly responsible for the inevitable loss of political power of the Democrat Party by continuously feeding the Right easily marketable messaging.

  What does this have to do with violating AGPL?

      "Whataboutism" is a thought-cancelling phrase. Truth Social is going to be silenced with one or more set of tools (AGPL or something else) just like Parlor was silenced.

        Regardless of your perspective of the world and a presumption of people's motivations, that doesn't take away from the fact that the Software Freedom Conservancy is alleging they violated AGPL, which is entirely what the article is about. And violations, especially high profile ones, should absolutely be challenged regardless of political orientation.

        I agree with you regarding the SFC. However, regardless of your perspective of the world and a presumption of my motivations, it is reasonable and fair to make the observation that this scrutiny is not happening in a vacuum absent of politics.

        "I stole a car, and painted 'Vote Joe Bloggs' on it, and now I've been arrested! Help! I'm being silenced for my support of Joe Bloggs!" Donald doesn't have some sort of special license to ignore copyright; he's subject to the same rules as anyone else. He can either comply with the license, or use some other software.

  Trump signed an executive order to allow people to "silence and cancel" Twitter users after Twitter added a fact check to a single Tweet of his. Does that make him part of the Moderate Left or the Authoritarian Left?

    Which executive order, can you cite or link it please?

        If there's no link to the order (EOs being publicly available), then exactly what is the claim? The two things stated in the article about new rules around section 230, which does not match your original claim of > Trump signed an executive order to allow people to "silence and cancel" Twitter users after Twitter added a fact check to a single Tweet of his. Which 'people' did the EO allow to 'silence and cancel' Twitter users? Can you please explain yourself? Who was canceled? Can you name one person? Which person canceled them that was not allowed to before this EO? You've made quite the claim. Can you substantiate it?

        I'm not the person who made that claim, I'm just linking articles discussing what the claim was in reference to.
