Every time a company comes up with "existing thing but as a platform" in an attempt to dodge legislation that has been in place about the thing for good reasons, like Uber pretending not to be a taxi company to avoid legal obligations taxi companies have to fulfil on the flimsy basis that they are just connecting drivers and riders, I feel like they should be put under the existing legislation until proven otherwise?

Now that SCOTUS said that legislatures can discriminate and shape voting in any way they chose as long as they do not use the word "race" consider that the following is now possible, and legal:

The ruling from the US supreme court destroying one of the last pillars of the 1965 Voting Rights Act (VRA)
marks the end of a long and painstaking campaign to roll back civil rights legislation
by two titans of the court’s rightwing majority,
Chief Justice John Roberts and Samuel Alito.
The duo have chipped away at what has been called the crown jewel of the civil rights movement.

The Jan. 7 filings come as the Miccosukee Tribe presses ahead with its legal challenge amid President Donald Trump’s recent veto of legislation expanding the tribe’s control over Everglades lands.
The filings, submitted by Friends of the Everglades…
