Washington Post Cartoonist Quits After Jeff Bezos Cartoon Is Killed

[trouble13]

<sigh> But I really need that chocolate flavored protein powder and I need it by 5 o'clock this afternoon - I can't wait.

That is a conundrum. Have you tried Walmart?

 

[Bok Tuklo]

I have a question. Amazon has an incredible amount of content we all paid for, stored in its cloud. Movies, books, lists, data, etc. For things like movies, music, books, etc...I guess I'm not clear who actually owns it. I do mean purchased, not streamed. For instance, I have purchased thousands of Kindle books, some are downloaded on my Kindle, and some are stored in Amazon's cloud.

What happens to that content if:

Amazon goes under, is split up, is challenged by content owners en masse politically, is taken over by the govt, etc etc?​

​

Can Amazon or the govt hold our content hostage? Delete it all? Use it for leverage?​

Has anyone else ever wondered what happens to our content if somehow Amazon "ceased to exist?" Unlikely hypothetical I know but...?

[Allan]

That not apparent at all. Nobody is stopping her from speaking freely.

WaPo is. "Democracy dies in darkness" their masthead proclaims, as they silence dissent.

Another lib becomes enemy #1 to the American Marxists for daring to stray, ever so slightly, from the Party line.

It’s always pissed me off that I cannot recycle my Kindle books!

Marxists get very triggered when you shine a light on them.

No. You’re thinking of vampires.

 

[Lursa]

Cloud content has value. If Amazon disappeared someone would take over that content.

We paid for the content. But yes, someone could take over storage. And then the costs could be anything. And it could be withheld. AFAIK, there are no obligations to Amazon to access your personal content in their cloud.

 

[countryboy]

No. You’re thinking of vampires.

Lol, good one.

 

[Lursa]

Depends. Probably somewhere in your ToS.

The answers to most of those is not in their TOS unless you'd like to present them?

Nope. People are 'triggered' when they are labeled as minions of a philosophy that the vast majority of those accused don't agree or comply with.

Some of us have problems controlling our laughter as yet another non-thinker shows their ignorance about Marxism, Communism, Stalinism, Socialism and all of the many political philosophies that humanity has followed thru the centuries.

Nice try.

True, the problem being that Ms Telnaes no longer has the microphone on the stage that is the Washington Post. Until she has a job with another media outlet with an audience as large as the Post's, she has been effectively silenced.

 

[Somerville]

Nice try.

and your educational background that has provided you with such deep knowledge of those beliefs you despise is ??

Bezos is today learning about the Streisand Effect.

Telnaes' cartoon will be far more disseminated now than if it only appeared in the newspaper.

You are correct. I had not thought about the platform that is our modern internet.

While banging away on your keyboard?

The cartoon hit a little too close to home for Mr. Bezos.

The RWE of this forum firmly believe Bezos is “of the left” and Trump is an independent, white knight “swamp drainer” working on their behalf’

After all, Murdoch owned media properties are their MSM “go to guys” keeping conned, culted MAGA “informed”.

No they aren't. The only thing they are doing is declining to publish her opinion. That is not what you are trying to claim it to be. The WaPo has no obligation to amplify her opinions. That is their choice.

Libs are truly astonishing in their ignorance. Wow.

 

[Moon]

If your job is to poke fun at power, there should be no sacred cows, no matter who they are.

Reality says otherwise. When you buy a paper you can run it however you wish.

 

[Lursa]

No they aren't. The only thing they are doing is declining to publish her opinion. That is not what you are trying to claim it to be. The WaPo has no obligation to amplify her opinions. That is their choice.

Of course they can deny her. That doesnt mean the decision isnt completely hypocritical according to their mast head. And pointing out this hypocrisy is a means to an end itself. An "opportunity."

Jeff Bezos (current net worth 234.2 billion) and the rest of the oligarchy thanks you for your unwavering support.
