People LOVE Facebook. Who knew you had SO MANY FRIENDS? You can depend on ALL OF THEM...unless you ask for money. But hell, there's GoFUNDMe for that.
Please LOVE Amazon, too. They have the best prices. Don't they? And APPLE. Easy to use items that last and last. Don't they?
The NEW YORK POST headlined an article on how nefarious ALL of these companies really are.
In the midst of the article was a special mention of what the Internet has done to creative people in the entertainment world: pauperize many. Put many out of business. Cause widespread despair and depression.
Read it for yourself, if you'd like. This is the portion that notes that musicians can barely get a PENNY a song from streaming, and that authors are in purgatory. Put it this way, if Dante was writing today, he'd call the Devil by his proper name: BEZOS.
It's hard to pick out which company or CEO is the worst villain. Bezos is probably on the top of the list. His Mussolini-like dick-headed ambition to control the world is well known.
A dark horse would be the guy who runs EBAY, who makes pimp-money off some of the most questionable crap on the planet. Let's put it this way, JEFF BEZOS does not let anyone sell SMELLY SHOES and SMELLY PANTYHOSE on Amazon. He does not allow anyone to sell "revenge porn" photos, faked pictures of nude female celebrities, or images hacked and stolen off the computers of female celebrities.
You'll find all that crap on eBay, much of it in plain sight. Type in a variety of terms, from USED and WORN panties, pantyhose, shoes, etc. to dildo, porn, sex doll, etc., and EBAY sells it. A hunt for photos of famous women will often turn up "censor dot" nude images and fake nudes. If there's somebody you missed, just go to their "everything else...adult" category, and you'll find rude fakes on even Barbara Eden and Tina Louise...as well as "my girlfriend" pictures, and sellers who simply download 5,000 or more images from the Internet, with NO model release of age and consent, and grind them through their printers. This includes photos of women clearly underage, in bondage, passed out with their eyes closed, and obviously being humiliated and degraded against their will.
But who expects morality on the Internet? Politicians don't even try to regulate it, do they? Anti-trust legislation, copyright legislation, blocking rogue websites...nah. It is, to use the title of an Andy Pratt song, all "FUN IN THE FIRST WORLD."
