Aaahh capitalism. This is what business school graduates call “innovation” and “smart”.

But seriously, I’m sorry that happened to you. It’s predatory, abusive, and wrong.

This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

This is the correct answer.

Crypto is a growing concern for a lot of people

What do you mean?

What’s funny is that that’s a description of MEV.

gaining access to pending transactions, altering the movement of the electronic currency, and ultimately stealing $25 million in cryptocurrency from their victim

I skipped “fraudulent” because neither MEV bots nor this attack can be called fraudulent imo, although MEV is definitely taking value one didn’t help create.

Let them eat MEV bot operators.

allowing the scraping and evading X’s own anti-scraping technology.

I wonder why evading anti-scraping technology is not treated like bypassing DRM or the DMCAs anti-circumvention rules.

Nobody is really interested in what their step sister is doing, but we don’t really mind finding out, either.

I’m not sure if the Arab spring could have happened without Twitter.

Oh wow. I didn’t know that.

siphoning money from Google

Seriously, it took the EU to force Microsoft not to grey out “uninstall Edge”. Still there are non-billionaire people who want to eliminate government regulations, it boggles my mind. I mean, besides brainwashed business school bros.

Lol yea. They also maintain control over their big corpos and that must be threatening to the 9 corporations in a trench coat that the U.S. calls a government. Still, the world doesn’t need any more adversarial relationships, thank you very much U.S.A.
