Today in ZDNet, a propaganda site of advertisers like Microsoft and IBM. It relays IBM's PR talking points alongside Microsoft's (Microsoft helps ICE and other oppressors who commit war crimes and crimes against humanity).
Summary: It is important to understand that IBM never apologised or expressed remorse for what it did; instead if keeps pretending that it never happened -- a chronic sense of deep denial -- and right now it wants us to think that banning a bunch of words will be enough (or a substitute for lack of apologies and substantial action)
Many sites will go offline and many social control networks will shut down once they realise or even openly admit they spend money and time gardening a bunch of bots and slop
it would rightly seem like the era of centralised "social" sites (they're not social, they're about controlling the users) is ending, not overnight but gradually
The next few years will be interesting because if Microsoft lays off tens of thousands of workers each year, there won't be much left except mountains of debt and dying brands
