"Groups representing telecom companies, home security companies, and internet advertisers don’t want to make subscriptions easier to cancel."

Of course not and that's precisely why the government needs to intervene to protect customers. It shouldn't have to be this way but shady business is being shady and now it must.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Zuck dying on the hill of "freedom of harmful misinformation amplification" is such a weird thing but here we are and there are the buried bodies and broken families from it.

I really wish stupidity wasn't profitable.

Shout out to America for not having a free and legal method to watch the #Olympics online, because something monumental like a globally unifying competition that should serve as a national celebration of our team competing against the world must apparently be capitalized upon by NBCUniversal, our sole national media coverage of the event

Highly highly recommend fellow high masking #Neurodivergent folks, if you can, to get alone time and just do what pops into your head (important: as long as nobody is getting hurt, including yourself) Be free to explore who you are without the world telling you to shut up. Talking, singing, moving, dancing, exploring, etc.

It may seem weird at first, because to society it is weird, but if you're alone there is nobody there to care except yourself.

It's time to be free of your personal shackles and just be happy.

Will you still have to deal with neurotypical society's shackles of unfun, of course, that's life, but you don't need to hide from yourself. Be your own safe space.

@aral Agreed, the crisis is artificial, the billionaires could have solved it by now.

@youronlyone Also agreeing with the others that you're basically "out" with your Autism. Think along the lines of being out as someone LGBTQIA+, before they are open about who they are, they may still show some behavior that differs from typical societal trend but they may not necessarily be open/out about it and telling people that they are. Same with us.
