Which countries laws “ALREADY APPL[Y] TO EVERYONE ELSE?” Cause I’m pretty sure that isn’t how laws of other countries work. I understand that you want countries to pass laws making it illegal for people to make fun of you on the Internet, but that’s a laughable notion.
That is the natural extension of your line of thinking is it not? Which users are “persecutable” by brazilian/Israeli law? If it’s not just the citizens of Brazil (which i’m ok with, obviously a nation should be able to pass laws that apply to their citizens) but everyone “persecutable,” doesn’t that mean that a country that is sufficiently able to persecute anyone in the world is now justified to enforce their laws upon the entire world?
So is lemmy.ml breaking the law in brazil right now? And rather then laughing at the notion, you think it’s a good thing? Yea you should probably change your name to Avatar of Fascism.
So you are telling me that when Israel makes their definition of “anti-semitism” illegal that everyone in the entire world that uses the internet has to abide by it? That doesn’t seem desirable or sane at all.
In 2014, after years of debate, Brazil’s Congress ratified Law 12.965/2014, the Internet Civil Framework. This law required social media companies to delete posts and deplatform users who broke Brazilian laws. However, it placed the burden on Brazilian courts to identify the posts and accounts.
Is this meant to apply to all “users” of the platform or only Brazilian Citizens?
If it applies to Brazilian Citizens, that’s all fine and good. But if I break brazilian law by criticizing their government, is lemmy.ml expected to “deplatform” and “censor” me?
AoC. Literally any “female” with good policy since much like Clinton and Harris, their gender was the least important part of their loss.
They can’t stop bots on any of the other sites they regulate either.
Why not? They are doing edge caching, they can literally just block the connection from visiting the site just like they do with their DDoS mitigation.
He campaigned as a socialist, he turned-coat a few months into his first term.
Source: Trust me bro. I’m super sexist and also friends with super sexist people and I can tell you that my super sexist bro’s yearn for tax cuts for entrepreneurs who run a business for 3 years in a disadvantaged neighborhood. Trust me bro.
Agreed, no reason to give them reprieve. Let them try again and this time the gerontocracy is weaker then it has ever been.
You should replace the middle pic caption with “hates everything about driving, but will never admit it.”
Wow! I can’t believe he doesn’t condemn Hamas!
Wait what? Israel is prosecuting Netanyahu? And if Israel doesn’t stop the prosecution(?) then we will cut off aid to Israel? This doesn’t make any sense what-so-ever.
If you have used facebook in the past 5 years, you aren’t “anti-facebook.”
If Google had built nucler power plants 10-years ago, there would be zero emissions. If California had done it instead there would also be zero-emissions, if the federal government had built nuclear power plants we’d also be at zero emissions. If all anti-nuclear people had killed themselves in 1979 we’d be net negative with emissions.
Practically unlimited demand is fine if the source doesn’t use fossil fuels to begin with, so I don’t see how this is an “AI” problem. It is, of course, a capitalism problem though.
It’s extra dumb because it’s NYC - no Republican was ever gonna be mayor. They’re just all being super racist.
This isn’t correct at all, but also Dems in NYC represent the rich and the slumlords, not the people that Zohran represents. Make no mistake there are tons of stories about dems melting down about Zohran as well, and senior Dem leaders in NYC like the Governor, don’t support Zohran either.
American Intellectual property laws have been inadequate and damaging to everyone except Disney since Sonny Bono extended their effects to 70 years past the death of the author. It’s important to point out that original copyright length was ~7 years. This is just another example of IP laws needing to catch up to the digital age, and not be an excuse for capitalist dragons to horde all of human knowledge away behind licensing fees.
I hope he does. It’ll be nothing but a vanity run that will waste a ton of money belonging to the worst people in the world.
The solutions exist and the USA has been aware of those solutions since they invented nuclear power in the 50’s. Unfortunately Capitalism doesn’t allow long-term planning so almost every time a long-term storage solution has been proposed, or ever funded, a few elections later it get’s defunded to the praised of misguided environmentalists and the green-washing fossil fuel lobby.
The one I know about the most was Yucca Mountain which got defunded. But at least WiPP is back open. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_Isolation_Pilot_Plant
I read the article. In-fact I started this thread asking for clarification to whom these laws apply. Then you went off on a tangent about Zuckerberg and implied i’m a “chud.” So let me state how I think these laws apply, tell me if this is correct.
The Nation of Brazil passes a law that says the users of a website have to abide by Brazil’s laws. I don’t know what they meant by that, I assume lemmy.ml that is not hosted in Brazil isn’t expected to know nor care about what Brazil’s laws say. But if that were the case, then Facebook also wouldn’t be expected to know nor care about what Brazil’s laws say. The citizens of brazil that use facebook? Sure, they should be subject to those laws. But why should any other entity that exists outside of Brazil be obligated to know nor care about Brazilian law?
Those details seem pretty important, and the article doesn’t address them at all, it merely says that Brazil’s supreme court says that website are required to “deplatform” and “delete posts” of users who broke the law. But why should lemmy.ml abide by brazilian laws?
