Why not use income and where you live rather than race, then?

Exactly. Pump up the site visits and hope that some visitors will even come back again once they see the other content.

Exactly this. Most G20 countries had reduced coal emissions but China and India (plus Indonesia and Turkey) had increased coal emissions per capita. Because those countries account for ~3 billion people, nearly 40% of the world population, and an even greater percentage of G20 population, the total coal emissions of G20 has increased.

This.

If you’re a creator or platform that runs intrusive/invasive ads, you don’t care about users

If you’re paying for video or audio calls, you’re doing it because you want features or privacy. I doubt Twitter offers more features, and I know they won’t offer more privacy.

Yep, if you’re a criminal making ghost guns to commit crimes because you can’t pass a background check to buy a gun (and then scratch the serial number off), then it’s already a crime for you to have that ghost gun because you’re a prohibited person.

Requiring a serial number changes nothing and only affects nerds, not criminals.

Nope. Under 10% of households have a swimming pool, but over 40% of households have a gun in the USA. When we’re talking about owning one as opposed to actively using one, the pool is more dangerous than the gun.

Now, if you just left your loaded gun out in your backyard 24/7, it may be a different story.

Doesn’t it sound at least a little bit foolish to trust someone else to intentionally censor the politics of your internet? You’re creating your own echo chamber.

How can you understand and disagree with the other side if you can’t even read their content? I’m not even talking about hate groups, I’m talking basics like WikiLeaks and the NRA.

Right. There’s no reason why private jets shouldn’t be paying to offset 100% of their emissions. For cars it’s a different story because it’s a tax on the poor for something they need. Private jets are purely luxuries, only used by the wealthy, and have a viable alternative.
