Now when I open a Google map link my wife sent from messenger, messenger opens a copy of maps inside messenger that doesn't work half the time. Is that excluded from link tax?
When musks puts unskippable ads to go to content instead of reading it almost in its entirety right on the site (with an ad besides it), is that also link tax?
Enshitification of links is what will break the internet. Musk would be the first to sue for this.
Ya can't skip the ads, but you can skip the platform! (I dont use them but yeah hopefully it backfires)
Flushable wipes are not flushable! These companies should pay to remove them, it was completely false advertising

Hey
We are reaching you regarding your . See job
They know taxpayers will foot the bill and they will make astronomical amounts of money off it. Plus they get a stranglehold on energy.
Tech companies aren't going to buy power plants and enshitify them. Allowing the tech giants at the table at all is far passed enshitification of democracy (and your tax dollars). Governments should have built the energy using the people's money, and profited off businesses using extreme amounts of it (bringing a lot of dollars back). Instead they'll use the corporate money to build energy, and profiting off the people who need to pay the corporation
Subsidies are important. You pay enough tax dollars that some of those should be used to help the country be stronger economically. You don't want all farmers to disappear from the US because China can make food with slaves for waaaay cheaper.
The problem is theyre laughing at you helping their friends with that money, and calling it capitalism. It's socialism for corporations using the people's money really
Basically what happened with meme stonks too. The rich want to keep people from playing their game..
Not just that, but it's so they can profit from even more taxpayer subsidies. That's why theyre trying to convince us it's all for humanity.
In a way, i think we're all still there
Imagine if we had 10s of billions a year to drag all these companies and governments into long court battles for OUR rights. Corporations should be second.
They are "complaining" (more like reporting) about ads for people who paid to not have any.
