    Honestly, if anyone were to compete with YouTube and not be trying to rub their fanny all over the government for good boy points…

    I’m pretty sure that’s why it’s illegal in red states.

    Shit maybe that’s what all these data centers are actually for. Make a billion fake ai Instagram people and flood the US Internet to help shape the narrative. You’d obviously want to funnel views toward your buddies and away from anything unpredictable.

      I really think the data centers are to power the already installed surveillence tools like Flock and web trackers/personal device telemetry, but that certainly could be a part of it.
