This is why USA has First Amendment. Using the law to enforce subjective standards of niceness is the first step to political suppression.

This is very misleading particularly for those not familiar US laws. If you want to say publicly disclosed campaign contributions with no quid pro quo is bribery than say so but that's not most people's definition of bribery. Demo

What about downloaded back up codes ? Phone push approval? U2f key? Authenticator app? Can't imagine complaining about being shut out if you didn't have at least one or all of these set up. Google even nags you about setting the

I'm astonished that anyone would advocate for voting without some sort of Id. If you cant drink, drive or get a library card without an ID you shouldn't be able to vote. The Id laws that states do have on the books are incredibly

Purging voter lists is not suppression unless you view dead people or those who have moved out of the voting jurisdiction on the voting rolls as legitimate voters. No different than a company purging email or address lists of outdated names

Please provide evidence of this? Lots of evidence in the form of entitlements to those of low income to the contrary.

Or regulators could stop micromanaging tech as a way to extort fines and pander to the public. Let those who care go elsewhere or use browser tech (like Firefox containers) and client side solutions to control privacy. 95%of people could c

I guess I don't get it. This is based on speculative misuse - that FB may in the future deny access to Giphy to competitors. So if you own a tool that your competitors may use then that's anti-competitive? Seems like that could a
