This seems to be a US thing. Every time I take an Uber/Lyft in the US the car that shows up more often than not has a cracked windshield. In the UK this just doesn't happen, maybe because we have stricter laws around what is safe

Meta has plenty of money, why do they need private equity to fund this?

What about the thousands of channels that exist only to harass people? Not even public figures, but just ordinary people. YouTube is a huge part of that and they seem to not care at all about sorting it out. They are literally funding hate.

They may be a minority but they are more empowered than ever. Both by the new owner of Twitter and the current politics in the US. It’s a shame that large companies like EA/Bethesda/Valve/etc don’t do more to fight against it
