If it's that big a deal go after the service providers for the servers, this type of shit just makes inhibiting free speech easier.

If I don't want people using Truth Social I guess making a bunch of accounts to share torrent links would be enough to shut it down?

The MPAA still has never been able to demonstrate that privacy even has actual impacts on movie and ticket sales... When Netflix was super convenient and had a lot of content piracy went down. Turns out splitting to dozens of streaming services made it difficult enough that people just went back to sailing the high seas. So lower your prices, make it more convenient to pay for services and people will just do that instead.

It does. If everyone paid for tickets in cash and never online, they wouldn't be able to harvest user data.
