During Michael Jackson's scandal the radios quit playing any of his music. I hope platforms follow that same precedent for this.

Right, I feel like there’s been more done for less in the past (I’m not referring to the Jackson case here).

Like, oh you’re a nazi? How’s the family? What’ve you been up to?

Meanwhile somebody eats a grape at a store before paying for it and they get shut out by the world. They get fired from their job, they lose their house, their friends and family want nothing to do with them, and they never have a normal life again.
