Looks like some kind of paradox - Trump standing behind many very conservative values now represents much more fit to the purpose forces in US.

And Democrats while constantly waving how "Black Lives matter" actually are more unfit for the present state.

Issue is that present huge state bureaucracy and tech giants want to have things going as usual, want free unlimited market despite having almost nothing but censorship and lies to sell on it. They even can't oppose China, as are afraid that real economies fight will weak the present system (and they are right). Even calling COVID virus origin as artificial is looking as very very dangerous for them as it questions present open markets.

Problem is - they are loosing. In present system they no longer can have things going as usual, going as they like. No matter how they like it.

Part of tech giants and bureaucracy want to even play in lefty and pinky stuff (until it is very far from left and red).

Issue is that you can't longer play, you need to act, and increasing polarization shows only one thing - either you go to the left (not Sanders lefty), much more left than Lenin had been even. Or you go into the right with real economic wars, abortion bans, sanctions and real big wars that will come later.

Foreign Internet platforms will face liability for censoring Russian media and restricting access to information on racial, ethnic and political affiliation. As reported by RIA Novosti, citing a source, this will affect social networks and large IT platforms.

“There are several principles in the law. The first is access restriction. When, for example, when Russian television accounts on social networks are blocked or a film made by Russian television people is removed from the show. The second is when they restrict access to information based on race, nationality, political affiliation, ” the message says.

It sounds like fun.

Journalists do not need to be devoted to anything. You don't even need to give them a command - these smart and surprisingly mean animals themselves are able to guess by the smell where they can find crumbled food.

Apple today announced it will reduce the App Store commissions for smaller businesses. Under the new guidelines of the “App Store Small Business Program,” as it’s called, developers earning up to $1 million per year will only have to pay a 15% commission on in-app purchases, rather than the standard 30% commission.

The new program will launch on Jan. 1, 2021, and will be based on the business’s revenues in the previous calendar year — meaning 2020. This $1 million threshold will be based on how much existing developers made across all their applications on a post-commission basis, Apple notes. That means the businesses could actually earn up to $1.3 million in gross revenues.

It is nice PR move, but due to monopolization such developers now get only less than 20-25% of total revenues of AppStore and this part is dropping around 15-20% each year.
