Russell Patterson, 1928.
Commercials as you remember them
One of the internal notes, which appeared to have been written by an Epik employee, mentions a grand jury subpoena, a request to preserve records for 90 days and a nondisclosure order — a court-approved document that law enforcement can secure to prohibit tech companies from telling customers what information they’d shared as part of an investigation. “DO NOT tell Registrant,” read the note, which did not include further details of the investigation.
There is a prosecutor drooling over this right now.
Epik also has a corporate overlap with VanwaTech, a company that, according to online records, has provided Internet services to the neo-Nazi site Daily Stormer and 8kun, the central node for spreading conspiracy theories central to the QAnon ideology.
This is potentially huge news
Watch it fade away
Epik also tied to Gab and OAN.
Joseph “Joey” camp acts like a worthless right cunt.
"...senior DHS leadership pushed unfounded conspiracy theories about antifascists, encouraged the contractors they hired to violate protesters’ constitutional rights, and made spurious connections, based on no real evidence, between protesters who engaged in criminal activity. It also revealed poor training and inadequate guidance, which contributed to the federal intelligence officers’ lack of knowledge on legal restrictions for the collection of such information, and turned the entire operation into a massive mess."
That time Frank performed “I’m the Slime” on Saturday Night Live.
For the first time, 60 Minutes is publishing whistleblower complaints filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission against Facebook by former employee Frances Haugen.
The filings, submitted by Haugen's lawyers, state, "Our anonymous client is disclosing original evidence showing that Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) has, for years past and ongoing, violated U.S. securities laws by making material misrepresentations and omissions in statements to investors and prospective investors, including, inter alia, through filings with the SEC, testimony to Congress, online statements and media stories."
It’s got folks’ attention, but the lingering issue (and from idiotic patterns we’ve seen in the past) is HOW they intend to fix this.
There is talk of “cleaning up the internet”…(eye roll)-aaaand this usually involves a massive clampdown and suppression of the internet in all the wrong areas except the areas that matter the most.
It will usually mean targeting innocuous erotica and fun-loving deviant smut and bulldada with an elephant gun instead of intricately extracting the nazi/intel agency/corporate and think tank spam/IRA troll/RW basement dweller shit-poster misinformation content making life miserable for all. It’s the kind of thing that will leave scorched Earth around everything but Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube….y’know, the places that have long since been the most problematic….the places that John Oliver and Sacha Baron Cohen eloquently complained about long ago, and tens of thousands of users complained long before them.
