Google sometimes deplatforms people as well. Regardless of one’s politics, one can’t be positive it won’t happen to them should the winds change.
With all due respect, there was Candace Cameron Bure…
I have a CS degree and spent a couple months in my backseat.
If I could have the engineering and enterprise acumen and portfolio and cash he does I would love nothing more than to be called a loser. That’s winning to me!

Volkswagen was literally started by the Third Reich and, along with Auto Union (then-parent of Audi), BMW, Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, utilized slave labor during WWII.
Henry Ford received the highest civilian honor bestowed by the Third Reich, the Grand Cross of the German Eagle.

All the more reason to get run-flats. Spike strips can’t stop them.
I’m not condoning any of his alleged actions, but it’s neither Apple’s nor Alphabet’s place to unduly influence what I as a user do, say, think or feel.
If the Church owns all of them then what’s the big deal? Don’t mess with someone else’s property.
C just shrugs and says “Seg Fault.”
I don’t know how old this is but its relevance hasn’t diminished one bit
Take dividends and donate them to Fediverse servers. As your enemy gets stronger, so do you.
