It's not really a great post and it sucks beyond any scope of reality. The number one point that sticks out is if they were to go there than let's find a way to first cancel the multiple avatars of accounts who make up their own comment base for profit. You want to talk about bad actors lets start there. If people can monetize their own accounts for their own benefit that works against any new paying on boarders, I mean really why would you want to give your own money away when you can have it to yourself. It's not the way the system is suppose to be set up to work but that's the way it works. Ain't nobody coming over here to pay to read comments, why should they they can go to a million other places and read them for free. Anyway I could go on forever ranting on about this place so I'll just cut to the original chase of it all....

That being that granting the power to control API is a forward mechanism of censorship. We ain't heard form the blogger out of France since Macron put out a call to shut down social media because he said it was instigating the situation. That's why Musk called it a "temporary" move. But you don't think FB hasn't been doing this for quite some time, for so long now that they can go into the sites here and shut down access to the pages giving out data on what's taking place in real time in your community. There's a reason they encrypted police scanners and they don't want anyone finding ways around that by actively putting out calls, posting data, having individuals post what's taking place while it's actually happening. What Macron was worried about was the data scraping that actually was inflaming the situation as people used it for their own agenda, regardless if they were getting paid or making money off it which the vast majority of well known accounts probably were and lesser know not. You are behind the curve ball. I highly suspect the Microsoft AI is already interviewing with the google browser using API attacks. I can switch browsers and have no problem once I do, which I rarely do because why let them win. It's a headache none the less.

One other point of contention, you don't need a credit card, a debit card works just as well you or they just run it as a credit instead of as a debit. You just fill in the debit card numbers and wella you're off and running.

I really do try and stay out of the fray of the shit that goes on here but I surely couldn't help myself this time, I am still laughing. Bad actors....hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahha, I'll probably wake up laughing.
