Clearly the way forward is to entrust silicon valley to regulate speech. Thanks for your insight. By the way, "Two out of three Democrats also claim Russia tampered with vote tallies on Election Day to help the President – something fo

It's sufficient to push undesirables to services which are more expensive, more inconvenient, unreliable, and so on. Relegate them to their internet ghetto. However, there clearly is a small number of players in mobile platforms, cloud

That's alright, I'm sure you would have said the same to civil rights advocates in the '60s, too.

Hasn't breaking up monopolies been a central tenet of ensuring a free market since forever? Suddenly you defend monopolies. Interesting, isn't it?

That's interesting. Do you feel the same way about a company refusing to serve Jews or Blacks? Is it their right?

Months of violent rioting in the streets? 2/3rds of democrats believing Russia hacked and changed vote counts in 2016? The hypocrisy is unbelievable. This will not end well.

No, Twitter suspends millions of accounts, of varying notability. Obviously, they just don't get the attention that the President does. You're clearly carefully picking words that frame the event as inconsequential. That nameless

It seems like a criminal act. But didn't BLM demonstrate that political violence is effective at achieving your political goals? Or is it justified when it's your side committing the terrorism?

Sure, but let's be careful. These accusations could ruin their business, and the damage may be undoable - even if we later learn it was false.

There's speculation that the cutting edge radars fielded by China and Russia can detect stealth aircraft, so the advantage may be moot now.

What makes that equally or more likely? The concentration of early cases in Wuhan, hundreds of kilometers of away, would imply that the asymptomatic traveler(s) only traveled to one city, and didn't infect any other people along the wa

Surely the rest of the world has the leverage to pressure China to ban wild-animal markets.

Everything that I've read suggests the bats from which the virus likely originated can only be found hundreds of kilometers away, so it must have been brought into Wuhan somehow. Either for food, or for research, unless you can propose

One can conclude you believe it purely coincidental that the Wuhan Institute of Virolgy specialized in research on bat coronaviruses? A paper in the lancet early in the year reported that the Wuhan Seafood market not only did not sell bats,

You don't need to force China to pay. Typically what is done is that foreign assets are legally seized, for example, Chinese state assets in the West, if China refuses to pay for damages.
