From Oswald Mosely, through The Daily Mail, Fox News, hate preachers of all denominations...

Again, not as far reaching, effective, or insidious. Fox news also had to pay dominion voting systems for lying and spreading election fraud propaganda.

Often for the same pure simple profit that the social media giants are after rather than ideological hatred

Highly doubtful

I don't believe for a second that a US court would hand down a fine

This is a civil suit

I also don't think reddit is remotely mainstream enough swing global opinions to the right

So? It's one of many pieces, not the only piece. It's also the largest site of its kind.
