Tech battle: Musk and Zuckerberg agree to hold cage fight

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65981876

So once again the rich billionarie lusers who between them run websites that promote hate, misinformation etc, and facilitate so much misery for many. Are looking at holding a huge publicity stunt, which will no doubt generate huge income for a lot of people. Meanwhile there are millions of people who can't afford to but a meal on a plate or a roof over their heads. Oddly those people use these platforms and the benefit for them is their data is used to generate adverts for products they probably can't afford.

Imagine what would happen if they used their billions for something useful.

So it has taken the Justice Department 3 years to come to the same conclusion most people came to within 24/48 hours of George Floyd being murdered.

I am from the UK, people in the US know that the police are RACIST, ask any black person in the US, I am sure the question people actually want answering is what are you going to DO ABOUT IT?

@alexwild

I know that linking the GOP and common sense rather stupid. If they had any level of this they would realise that local issues such as water managent are usualy better done with local authorities making decisions as they know the area and land, know local experts who can advise on a local level but also can work with other experts and local authorities to coordinate efforts.

@HuffPost

At least he accepts he has done wrong, and admits it. Unlike a former US president who insists he is innocent, blames others, and accusese everyone else of a witchhunt.

So long as there are physical books on the topic history can never be erased or re-written.

@KatM @cdarwin @chargrille

Surely you can only really avoid repeating history if you actually learn about history (and discuss properly) so you can avoid what happens by recognising when it is starting to happen again.

@glassbottommeg

Yay, I have two copies of this, no idea why I am keeping them, however they are now part of internet / computing history.

Thanks

@brosandprose

Yes, I agree here. It opens up a great opportunity to have an informed discussion with regard to what he has done and his attitude towards women and why this is seen as undesireable, perhaps also a discussion on how following tate could be awkward if an employer finds out via internet searches.

I remember back in 2003, just before we illegally invaded iraq. In some schools, the kids just went on strike and protested and the teachers just disciplined those doing so, other schools, teachers actually had a discussion on the issue with the students.
