What is going on in the US with the canceling of Jimmy Kommel’s TV show? From what I read all he said was that the shooter might be right wing and that MAGA is desperately trying to pin it on the left. That appears exactly mirroring MAGAs messaging who have been blaming the left very hard everywhere, including the President. How is what he does wrong according to his employers but what MAGA is doing OK? I honestly don’t understand the difference

    I’m not even exaggerating when I say that the Fediverse will be the last bastion of free speech and political criticism on the internet, because the same pressures that Trump and the Republicans can apply to Paramount and Disney, they can also apply to Reddit, Meta, X, and Oracle. Corporate will ALWAYS capitulate to fascism–they aren’t even bothering to fight back–because the only thing they care about in the slightest is money.

    .world does the same narrative shaping that legacy-media, facebook, reddit, etc. does and the free speech & political criticism you’re hoping will live on will do so in the same way it does now; buried into suppression.
