the news are so bad at reporting epstein files because literally everyone who could report about them is either in bed with trump or has some other interest in not talking about it.

it's like, you know, people who run companies would like to keep their power so they just nod along and say "trump is a saint, nothing to see here, go away".

Everyone will be blaming Epstein for everything. Often justifiably, but that also takes away responsibility from people who can and should suffer consequences.

While yes this is true broadly, this one appears to have some backing to it. If I recall correctly he's in there quite a bit talking directly with people like Activision's CEO about how pushing the microtransactions more can lock these kids into that ecosystem and keep them spending. Which also serves a double purpose giving people like him the ability to manipulate these kids with promises of the currency for those transactions.

Dude was well studied in his psychological manipulation. I was browsing the files and found a research paper on memory suppression/manipulation of children aged 4-13 or so. Supremely fucked up

Has anyone had any consequences so far? Beside maybe a mild annoyance to have been "caught"

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Some royals have had their perks reduced.

Oh lord, yes...how could i have forgotten that. Poor souls, what a dark day for all of us...

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 2 points 10 hours ago

If they don't prosecute child sex criminals, we can't expect borderline child casino operators to face consequences either. But Bobby Kotick (Activision CEO at the time) now has a scapegoat.

Wasn't he the reason that the COD premium currency was called CP?

We're just posting screenshots from Reddit now?

True, but it's a slippery slope - much of the user base here left Reddit because they hated it.

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I hate the site and the people who run it, I don't hate the content.

This is What most feel

i mean it would be better if we had a community where you can just write the sentences yourself. unfortunately that doesn't seem to be very widespread today?

would be good to just have sth like /c/postmyopinion or sth

Oh shit. Sorry for the confusion. We will be back to your regularly scheduled twitter screenshot tomorrow.

This is the entire business model of some news sources now
