I got more pushback than I anticipated on one argument in my post about the Ninth Circuit decision about the MAGA-hat-wearing-teacher: the idea that a MAGA hat is not self-evidently outside acceptable public conduct.

I certainly have a reaction to seeing someone in a MAGA hat — I figure they’d probably hate me, and I probably wouldn’t care to hang out with them — and I know some people have stronger reactions. But . . .

Social media. Cambridge Analytica was v1.0, we are now at version: Artificial Intelligence.

The ability to micro-target anyone at will: Create your own algorithm, determine the level of API access required and its cost. Market + sell custom targeting packages.

A package to boost the dictator Vucic. Basic PR stuff at scale, and scalable for coin.

A package to promote your crypto, finitely targeting white urban rich hip chicks.

Mass shootings extra.

No job too small. Or too big.
