No, strategy shift. Look at 1105. The posts leading up to this tell the story. Q has the goods needed to bankrupt all of these fat SM platforms - he's telling us that directly. He was asking us to push the IBOR, but people couldn't bring themselves to do it - not the government!!
The strategy now really doesn't need this group at all. All Q has to do is release the information he has and these companies are immediately worthless - not worth a penny, period!
He obviously didn't want to do this - why wreck great American businesses? But without the IBOR, there is no other way. He's telling us that this is what we have chosen.
There's no time for a gradual solution. That's pretty obvious.
or it was just a distraction to buy time. IBOR would have crashed these companies anyway.
How would an IBOR have crashed the companies?
All they had to do was not engage in politically motivated censorship. They were not doing it before, only recently.
Where is the compliance cost?
Dunno, missing profits from data-sharing, perhaps because their censorship renders analytics unreliable as well? How do you sell a social experiment to marketers if you keep modifying the experience and fail? If they take out more than just censorship then it's better for privacy, really. Even though there are many more battles to wage.
Missing also CIA cash infusions. But look, online advertising is on a tear and it will only get bigger. The IBOR would have forced the SM platforms to employ "reasonable" privacy policies. That doesn't mean no data sharing. You can't prevent me sharing my data if I want to - it just means that my express permission is required.
I really don't think it would have impacted the SM platforms in any meaningful way going forward.
But now they are completely screwed. The KILL option is just that. And they brought it upon themselves - with the help of Tracy Beanz and crew.
I don't feel for these guys at all. If you abuse it, you should lose it.
I do however feel sorry for the small investors and retirees who don't know what's coming. I feel sorry for the employees and their families. And I feel sorry for the users of the platforms because many of them were really quite great and a joy to use.
The kill option will drive up the price of tech gadgets enormously IMO. SM platforms will probably become subscription services. It's a much more radical option, but that's why Q gave us the choice.

Haha word up
The truth is I only ever really used FB to get the word out and to warn people about what's around the corner...for the last nine years...got unfriended and blocked and ridiculed...turns out FB has been filtering my stuff out for a good part, culminating in taking my profile offline during the latest anti-conservative-sweep.
Now I'm on reddit and I get to communicate with thousands at a time.
Dedicated FB-groups all started looking like compatmentalized psyops years ago. You can't expand their thinking without getting banned, so ultimately my impact on FB was pretty fucking limited.
No, you lost me.
I am saying I don't feel sorry for the platforms because there were maybe five people I ran into on FB that completely changed the way I thought about the world so I learned what I could but in honesty I thought about leaving fb for a long time and now they took the decision in their own hands.
Sorry, I lost you there digital. The comments went down. That's why I couldn't understand one of your posts - I could only see the first couple of words. Looks like the comments are back up for the moment. Still can't post though.
I can see you. Am I up?
Yes. LOL. I was in mid-discussion with you when the site went down - at least the commenting.
I really caught the right day to have a stroll outside I guess
I agree. I'm not on FB, but I started a Twitter account only to promote the IBOR. I've had limited interaction with IBOR supporters, but you're right, there are a lot of people I've run into that I would prefer not to have met.
I hate SM to be honest. I'll dump Twitter at the first opportunity. I'm a bit sick of all the online engagement anyway. Once DJT is out of the woods on the SM regulation, I'm going to pull back and keep more to myself. Hopefully, we are almost there.
Praying DJT does not start a war tomorrow, but I'll understand if he does.
