  Meta executive faces lawsuit for torrenting 20k porn videos from his home Allegedly as part of a scheme to get data for the company to train AI and develop adult VR tech while shielding it from legal liability “In short, this is a lot for one person to torrent on an average day, particularly one who has a demanding job,” Strike 3 writes.

  >Goldberg was also active on Twitter, Reddit, Disqus and others under the username MoonMetropolis,[7] a "free speech absolutist" who was involved with the Gamergate controversy. He would frequently use this persona to criticize the works of his other personas such as anti-free speech activist Tanya Cohen, arguing against points that he himself had made.[38] Sums up a lot of modern political discourse pretty well imo. This kind of person, making disingenuous arguments against themse...
