It isn't misinformation.
Someone like this board member being a traitor to his species isn't covered by "opinion". No normalizing nazis. It's such a low bar. He couldn't clear it.
He blasted his treachery over the public airwaves. His privacy isn't being violated.
This whole comment feels like an exercise in using all the best words to miss the point. We know, as does this probably-lying board member, that Republicans are only going to go more authoritarian, and the only reason they would pretend to care about big tech abuses is to grab the steering wheel from them to commit far worse abuses. No company that gets into bed with traitors is going to become the new center of my digital life.

??? Lol? Imagine having an opinion in 2025
Sorry but I won't participate in this juvenile trivializing of the word "Nazi". Yes, I know that's become almost a meaningless slur at this point, but personally I just will not take seriously anybody who throws it around like this. Perhaps because I'm European. Perhaps because I studied history. It's not serious.
Mate they're mainstreaming fascist rhetoric. Over 60% of Republicans now believe in the Great Replacement theory aka White Genocide, which used to be a fringe conspiracy theory just a decade ago.
I encourage you to not get hung up on symbolism and instead look to ideology and rhetoric.
Leaving aside the absurd and juvenile "Nazi" slur ("fascist" is less of a stretch), I disagree with your analysis. I think it's exactly the opposite. I think it's because mainstream politicians have refused to address the reasonable aspects of people's concerns (about immigration, in particular), and because progressive activists have gone off the leash in their wild accusations of racism at the slightest contradiction of their opinions, that we've ended up in this situation of the far right getting into power all over the place.
Once again: I do not vote for these parties. Anyway, we are now completely offtopic so let's leave it there.
So yes they're fascist, but the progressives complained too much about racism, and therefore it's fine to support the fascists?
IDK what to tell you but your political ideology is privileged garbage. You're more scared of being called racist than of fascism. The kind of "yes ethnic cleansing but please no mean language" attitude. Please get a political education and your priorities straight.
With your insults and condescension, you're just proving my point.
It's because you're a centrist.
Or because the left-right axis makes no sense
You say it like it's an insult! Actually I usually vote green. And in Europe the greens are really greens, rather than just spoilers who help Bushes and Trumps into power.
