Co:pletley agree,. Thanks for that.
Oops, forgot to add this additional about The Daily Dot from the wikipedia link:
History
The Daily Dot was established in 2011 by Nicholas White, whose goal was to cover Internet communities such as Reddit and Tumblr in the same manner as hometown newspapers cover their own communities. White has experience with that model: His family has been in the newspaper business since buying the Sandusky Register in Ohio in 1869, and White was a reporter and executive with the familys media company before establishing the site.[5]
White launched The Daily Dot with $600,000 and a handful of full-time reporters. Many of the sites early stories were filed to a Google Doc and reported on Facebook and Twitter. After establishing a headquarters in Austin, Texas, the company added other offices but many staff worked remotely from other locations.[5] It raised a $10 million private investment to add staff, produce digital content and develop its internal creative agency in 2015, ramping up its output to 50-70 stories a day.[2][6] Its coverage has focused on under-reported[5] areas while emphasizing progressive issues such as body-positivity and feminism. White has also highlighted the need to diversify his staff. Journalism has been dominated by a few select types of voices. We have an opportunity to break from that cycle, he has said.[2]
The Daily Dot has pursued several content strategies while building its online presence. In 2012, it was one of the first major sites to launch dedicated eSports coverage. In 2016, the company sold that section, Dot Esports, to Gamurs, an Australian esports multimedia operation.[7]
In 2014, it purchased The Kernel, a competing website, and turned it into a weekly Sunday edition featuring long-form editorial built around a single theme. The Kernel founder and editor-in-chief Milo Yiannopoulos stepped down following the acquisition.[8] The Kernel ceased regular publication in 2016.[9]
It also has collaborated on video projects with partners including HLN, on a co-branded series called Next Sex;[10] the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, for which it produced a public service announcement encouraging vaccination featuring Sesame Street character Elmo and former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy;[11] and television cooking personality Alton Brown, which has garnered more than 6.7 million views on YouTube.[12][13]
In January 2016, the site launched VIP Voices, a collection of op-eds from high-profile contributors on Internet issues in public discourse. Contributors include Mayor Bill de Blasio, Representative Ted Lieu, and Senator Mike Lee.[citation needed]
In October 2017, The Daily Dot launched 2 Girls 1 Podcast, an Internet culture podcast hosted by Allison Goldberg and Jennifer Jamula, in partnership with The Podglomerate.[14]
In 2018, The Daily Dot sued the New York Police Department to access handgun license applications filed by Donald Trump and two of his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.[15] The suit alleges that the NYPD declined a request made by The Daily Dot under New Yorks Freedom of Information Law to release the information, citing privacy and safety concerns; the site argues the information should be public.[16]
The company had a full-time staff of 76, in addition to 222 freelance contributors, in early 2016[2] before laying off 40% of its total staff in September 2016.[17] White, who called the layoff a restructuring, said the move was necessary to refocus resources on growing areas such as video, e-commerce and sales.[18] The sites e-commerce videos, produced in conjunction with advertisers, are shared on Facebook and generate revenue by sharing a portion of sales. In addition, the site has built two online storefronts, the Bazaar and The Daily Dot Store, on which it sells items.[4]

Devin Nunes: Looking At “Legal Remedies” To Stop Twitter “Shadow Banning” Republicans
Nunes suggests possible legal action against Twitter for ‘censoring’ conservatives

Q
Nunes sues Twitter, some users, seeks over $250M alleging anti-conservative 'shadow bans,' smears
California GOP Rep. Devin Nunes filed a major lawsuit seeking $250 million in compensatory damages and $350,000 in punitive damages against Twitter and a handful of its users on Monday, accusing the social media site of "shadow-banning conservatives" including himself to influence the 2018 elections, systematically censoring opposing viewpoints and totally "ignoring" lawful complaints of repeated abusive behavior.
P>In a complaint filed in Virginia state court on Monday, obtained by Fox News, Nunes said Twitter was guilty of "knowingly hosting and monetizing content that is clearly abusive, hateful and defamatory providing both a voice and financial incentive to the defamers thereby facilitating defamation on its platform."
Although federal law ordinarily exempts services like Twitter from defamation liability, Nunes' suit said the platform has taken such an active role in curating and banning content that it should face liability like any other organization that defames.
"Twitter created and developed the content at issue in this case by transforming false accusations of criminal conduct, imputed wrongdoing, dishonesty and lack of integrity into a publicly available commodity used by unscrupulous political operatives and their donor/clients as a weapon," Nunes' legal team wrote. "Twitter is 'responsible' for the development of offensive content on its platform because it in some way specifically encourages development of what is offensive about the content."
In large part because of Twitter's actions, Nunes "endured an orchestrated defamation campaign of stunning breadth and scope, one that no human being should ever have to bear and suffer in their whole life" in the past year, according to the complaint.
The complaint also named specific Twitter accounts that spread allegedly defamatory material about Nunes. One defendant, identified as "Liz" Mair, purportedly published tweets that "implied that Nunes colluded with prostitutes and cocaine addicts, that Nunes does cocaine, and that Nunes was involved in a 'Russian money laundering front,'" according to Nunes' lawyers.
Looks like more plea deals in the works for the NXIVM defendants.
First to drop last week was Nancy Salzman.
Today at a hearing, court-watchers are guessing that Allison Mack, Lauren Salzman and Kathy Russel are three more.
That will leave Clare Bronfman and Keith Raniere as the last two defendants standing. And they are in the most legal jeopardy of the cult as it is.
I have mixed feelings about this. Nancy, Lauren and Allison are all about as evil as Clare and Keith. Kathy seems to be an unfortunate participant in the book-cooking, money laundering and tax evasion.
I’d like to see all prosecuted to the full extent. It would be a shame if Nancy, Lauren and Allison get puny plea sentences.
Although it does look like prosecutors have accumulated enough evidence to conduct a whole nother trial on the financial and cyber crimes alone. Maybe they just want to get this first group in the can with felony convictions, and follow on with wider and wider indictments after that?
Where is our FReeQ legal team to comment?
Hilary’s face looks askew like she had a stroke?

Why yes, yes I did. Basically it’s a s***stain of a site.
