Fuck it. I'm on Google's side.

States are too small a political unit to effectively regulate digital advertising. Google should tell Washington to [A] go fuck itself and [B] passa fucking income tax before having the temerity to pissed at anyone.

It sounds like they made a good faith effort to coddle your baby state.

$6,000 is the smallest of rounding errors for AdWords. Likely, one or two political advertisers either deliberately or unintentionally misrepresented what they were advertising and that smallest of small fractions slipped through Google's moderation.

They're too big to fail (or even controlled) and we're too little to stop them so bend the fuck over for Corps Americana, LLC. Or, perhaps, we take a very close look at their business model -- the one that harvests its users.

So, wtf are we -- Citizens or consumers?
.
(Seems like the E.U. knows how to deal with Too-Big-to-Fail / -Regulate Corps -- they hit Google with a $5,000,000,000.00 fine. How's THAT sound Mr. Attorney General? Wouldn't that buy a lot of Civics Education or whatever for the masses?)

We gave away our Airwaves.
Will we also hand over the internets
along with the rest of our tiny say-so / two cents worth?

If Repubs get their way (inflicting Kavanaughtius on us),
Corps will no longer be people too -- they're gonna be Lords. We'll just be 'The Bottom.' (I prefer 'riff-raff')

@2

You're made of meat, get over it. Get back in line and wait for your grade to be stamped on your butt in blue ink, you're holding things up.

Yes, someone probably should have told you sooner; sorry about that, pal. Now hustle along!

@2 @3 Are you people fucking serious? Melodramatic much? You’re state is a tiny bit more than 2% of this country. YES, you’re too fucking small to distort our economy with your own sets of rules. You don’t deserve that. You want to make your own rules and be big like CA? How about you pass a fucking income tax and invest in stuff that will convince 25M more people to live in Washington. Why not do that instead of pretending like Google is even remotely the source of your problems? Y’all were crappy selfish fauxgressive voters before Google came and provided you with free search, free email, and free maps. You’ll probably stay crappy selfish fauxgressive voters no matter what.


Please wait...
