And they will also be in favor of prohibiting the smaller websites from using anything but top of the line extremely expensive measures to defend themselves.
It's the "Saturday Night Special" rule. Small cheap guns must be taken off the market because poor people might use them to defend themselves. Yes they said it was to "fight crime" but in reality you do that by locking up criminals. Which they were and are curiously reluctant to do.
If you could not afford to buy a top of the line name brand firearm you obviously did not deserve to carry. The Second Amendment did not apply to you.
Exactly my ‘semi-’sarcastic comment.
It’s been happening with “open source” for quite a while, as well - sure, it’s free. But if you want anything to be ‘production-grade’, you’re paying out the nose in subscription licenses for plugins, themes, security add-ons, blah, blah, blah endlessly.
It’s just another way that WILL be used to stifle free speech - instead of trying the old way of just turning off a switch (which doesn’t work anymore), you have to make it financially unbearable for low-cost communications.
