He’ll get millions of people to sign-up and scam as well as those who want to watch that happen. It will be a no brainer for making money.
I love that his social network is literally two letters away from being “volcel”.
This endeavor will collapse in a puddle of its own waste within weeks, going by every other business initiative DJT has attempted in his long career of failure and criminality.
And no one ill be payed for it.
Wasn’t trump going to start his own TV network? Seems like quite a drop from that to a social media endeavor that will join the circular firing squad of Gab, Parlor, and Mike Lindell’s Pillow Talk.

Gab and Parler will soon learn that personality cults are only interested in one thing, and if you don’t have it…

Okay. So let’s say he actually does this thing, which I think is a non-starter, but anyway.
How long until it’s hacked and everyone’s info is out there? Including Trump?
I call three weeks. So that they get a shitload of signups first.

There are plenty of people in tech who would line up to serve Trump. It could be competently done, but hey that would require paying people. We all know Trump doesn’t like paying people.

We have what 100+ new games a day, and some Social Media personality is actually taking the time to show and talk about not great games… probably resulted in more sales.
The takedown stuff isn’t great, and we all mostly knew that before the laws were implemented.

But Jim’s argument isn’t that the laws were good before, god no. It’s that how Google is enforcing them now has managed to get even worse. It completely surrenders to bad actors, and really unfairly skews things towards dishonest players.

Well I am not saying that. Aren’t most of these takedowns tied to DMCA?
CraigM

Yeah, there is a DMCA process. According to Jim, however, the process for disputing DMCA takedowns has gotten completely hands off and puts all of the power on the claimant. Which was not always the case, and puts all the power in bad faith actors.
So the laws haven’t changed, just the enforcement and resolution process.
She made something of a big deal about whether to pursue this in the courts to create some form of legal precedent to push back against capricious and lazy enforcement by Google.

Well my remark was about DMCA itself. It was garbage when it was implemented, and many knew it. I wouldn’t expect Jim to take that on, but there are those who make a lot of money on those platforms… perhaps a large one will one day.
I just retweeted a news story, and twitter asked me if I wanted to read the article first. That’s new.

It’s because DMCA doesn’t clearly define how fast companies need to take action - just that it needs to “expeditious”. As tech gets better the reasonable bar for what is considered expeditious keeps getting shorter, so tech companies are erring on the side of going ASAP to make sure they’re compliant.

In the case of Sterling the dude picked shit from years ago, carefully spaced out to try to destroy the channel.
