A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Just put the moderation business into a separate entity with no real revenue, which has no more than 49 regular employees and employ the rest as freelancers. Bam.
That would probably work in the US, but I'm not so sure it'd work in the EU. Even the UK is capable of cracking down on "freelancers" who are obviously just regular employees with bosses trying to dodge regulation.
