Theatrics are a part of politics. Do you think you're the only one who sees through them? Who cares what they call it?

>This isn't benign - setting precedents that linking to something is stealing it is toxic to the whole concept of the internet itself

this is why we need to care. doing theatrics to hide their dirty spending is one thing. but they should at least do their dirt in a way that doesn't have the side effect of breaking how the internet works.
