Irish and EU regulators aggressively “censored” social media coverage of Ireland’s 2024 general election and the recent presidential election, a panel of US politicians has claimed in a report.

The report by the staff on the judiciary committee of the Republican-controlled US Congress alleges “harassment” against tech groups to undermine conservative and populist parties.

How is a company a victim. It’s not a people

In the US it legally kinda is, which is fucked up.

Yet they are somehow able to own other "people" which is odd.

Yes, unfortunately that is true, except that these "legal entities" cannot be held liable for their crimes in the same way as humans. Therefore, the people who control these companies cannot be held liable for their crimes.

This is a legal trick that illustrates that the law has nothing to do with justice, while ensuring that billionaires are "legally" above the law that applies to everyone who is not a billionaire.

They are the worst kind of people too, they get the rights of an individual and can be evil but since there's not a single human to blame they get to go on being evil without consequences like jail time or execution just pay a few dollars here and there to "make amends"

Even worse, they're legally required to be evil, when being evil is in the shareholders' best interests. This system is completely broken...
