Don't be coy, tell us what you think we should be using it for.

The slimiest form of whattaboutism. Tankies don't control a major political party, the highest court, giant media networks or any of the smaller institutions that support those. You may as well be shouldering yourself into a conversation about misinformation and education and drooling "but what about flat earthers".

Come back with a real problem.

Because "extreme liberals" push things like equality, respect, social progress and accountability and "extreme conservatives" push bigotry, violence, greed and shit that fixes nothing.

If they don't already, they will. The insatiable desire for profit means that even if you paid them $1000 a month for their dogshit rag, they'd sell your data to make $1001 dollars.

Regulations are the only answer and they have to be both enforced and punished heavily enough to not make it worth risking.

The software in the screenshot doesn't require you to use Discord, but that's not good enough there.

Then it sounds like all that's left to do is get 150 million people to use them.

Same story for me. Whoever wrote it got a few details wrong but the idea of editing the page myself feels incredibly awkward.

Nobody in this thread has forbidden anyone from doing anything. If you want a soapbox for your irrelevant opinions, start a blog.

I don't know much about the gambling industry

You can stop there. You don't know much about the gambling industry, defending them was just an opportunity to tell us your opinions on "some people", none of whom are actually here.

Sounds more like you just don't know anything about the gambling industry. They run rigged games in predatory ways. They happily let organised crime launder money for a cut. They fight regulations designed to reduce problem gambling.

Nevertheless, nobody here is "forcing their way of life on others and taking away their agency over their own lives". They're just acknowledging that casinos have a long history of being absolute cunts.

He just wouldn't follow through the moment someone told him his idea was bad for rich people.
