A key difference would be that it is easier to replace the services of Google, Facebook and Twitter than of power providers. But even that doesn't seem impossible.

Not sure what you are going on about. Yes, they can do that. Nobody denies that. Doesn't mean everybody has to like it.

Choosing not to host it because of the content. Of course it is censorship. That people can perhaps publish their opinions somewhere else does not imply that it is not censorship.

The argument that it must be good because the government was elected by the people is not a good one. People elected fascists in Germany. They elect socialist regimes on a regular basis. It's not automatically good because the majority

100% sure that is bullshit. It is already illegal to call for somebody to be killed. If that was a major thing on Parler, it would be a case for the police, not for the Google mods. Edit: with "universal free speech" I just mean i

I never said Apple or Google are not entitled to censor stuff. I fully support the rights of private companies to do that. People are also entitled to be critical of such moves and to look for alternatives. That's all. What if Google w

Apple and Google just censored a whole social network. How can you claim it is just "people calling for violence"? It's the oldest excuse in the book. And exactly why universal free speech is needed. Because otherwise that sa

I think some of the whales could make the price tank, at least temporarily. They include some governments who seized thousands of BTC from criminal operations. But I think the same applies to many stocks. If Musk of Bezos would sell off a m

Because it is not so easy to manipulate the price, presumably. It depends on the trading volume. For many "altcoins" or "shitcoins" it may be true, because they have low trading volume. Bitcoin probably less so these day

How can you manipulate the price? I suppose there are now some whales, including governments that seized BTC from criminals, that could induce a crash by selling thousands of BTC within a short frame of time. But that may be true for many s

But they were detecting 2 out of 4, not 2 out of 2. I think you are incorrect.

Named doctors would be a start. Media doing some checking would also be a start. Some person looking like a doctor making claims on YouTube is not sufficient. None of those reports citing the alleged doctor actually checked with the hospita

German hospitals are also overwhelmed in some places during flu season. And the German system is not "stable", either, it has its own problems.

There should be more awareness about what is going on in hospitals all year round. Media hype can make everything extreme. And there are many theories to explain, for example NY morgues may have been overflowing because morgue owners were a

I don't think the evidence is clear. There are countries that were unsuccessful with their lockdowns, and countries were numbers were decreasing (because of lockdown or other reasons is unclear). Then there is China, whose numbers can&
