So Biden admitted that his statement around section 230 Facebook is surrounded by misinformation. This is honestly refreshing, especially after the era of:
“DUhhh, I wanna kiLL SeCtion 230 sO Twitter COuld leVe mi aLoNE. ”
(At this point I’m just asking to be attacked by Koby)
Even if the recommendation is disappointing, I’d do think that this is still a technical victory for us. Why you may ask? Well the recommendation creates a possible situation which forces Safeguards as a requirement instead of an option when considering Upload filters. This is a potential blow to Pro-Copyreich state members since this means that their laws may have the possibility of being thrown back to square one. It does make the law-making process ten times more messier.
It’s true that I would’ve liked it if the AG have thrown out Art.17 entirely, but the situation could’ve been so much worse. I just hope that Poland’s lawsuit survives though.
This whole situation made me into a Soft Eurosceptic
Even though the whole situation around Article 17 is surrounded by gloom and doom, there are a few silver linings to consider:
The court ruling, of course, which seems to be increasingly looking to be into our favor (emphasis on seems).
It’s past implementation day and only a handful of countries within the EU has actually met the deadline. Belgium and France passed their versions months ago; Germany just passed theirs recently; But (unless I am mistaken) every other nation is still debating their versions. This is because of the combination of the extremely controversial status of the Copyreich directive and of course the Pandemic delaying everything (I’m not thanking the pandemic, I’m just saying it as a matter of fact).
The Commission’s Guideline itself, while it is incredibly shitty and reeks of cowardice and corporate meddling, does unintentionally showcase the horrible intentions of the Copyreich Directive even more obliquely. So in an ironic way, this Guideline is so inept and so corrupt that it could be used against the Directive easily in court.
Trump and this Copyreich are the reasons I take seratrine for anxiety. But even I have moments to hope.
Koby, if I ever have a disappointing son who believes in crackpot theories and acts like a delusional, far-right manchild, I’d take him to the courts, ask for a name change, and name him after you.
Listen, you disgraceful abuser of the word “Liberal...”
Just because you’re implying that “some” YouTube and Twitch Channels are under regulation, doesn’t mean that it makes C-10 any more justified. It’s still regulating User-Created Content and still an invasion of free speech. And even if you are promising that you won’t abuse your power. It still gives the tools that will be abused eventually.
Why are you wasting space and time with this kind of shit? I still have respect for you, but it’s waning when I heard about this stuff. I am genuinely confused to why give one of, if not the biggest Conservative asshole(s) on Capitol Hill (who is partly responsible for the Insurrection four months ago) his own space in the Washington Post. That’s like the New York Times accepting an interview with Adolf Hitler about his Final Solution. These things should not be compatible.
Well first the bill has to become a law. The structure of the government of Canada is odd, it’s a hybrid of American lawmaking process and the structure of a parliamentary democracy. The Liberal Party has a slight majority in the House of Commons, but if it has any chance of passing, it is through there. But chances of the bill passing through the senate is a little less clearer since the majority is controlled by a loose conglomerate of independent senators. The Liberal Party doesn’t have any representation in the senate oddly. So it’ll depend on whether or not it will pass the senate.
I understood shit like this would come through the European Union of Oceania and the U.S., but Canada’s choice really does get my blood boiling. Throughout the Trump era, I thought that Canada was going to be the better half of America. But when C-10 was unveiled, how it throws free speech out like it threw a person out of a speeding train, now I’m not even sure anymore. Please, those who are rational in the Canadian government, oppose this digital Holocaust.
You’re better than this Canada. You’re better than this.
