Skimming the actual text of the law[1], I don't see anything particularly objectionable. Basically it requires a toggle when creating/editing a local user account that signals "this user is/is not a child". Applicat

No, I'm not proposing to change nothing, continue as is, nor do I use coded language to express my secret inner racism. I'm saying that changing words like "blacklist" or "master" is purely performative and act

Notably, the SFTP specification was never completed. We're working off of draft specs, and presumably these issues wouldn't have made it into a final version.

Because they bought Activision, who owned the rights since the 80's.

The topic is cybercrime and espionage, not nuclear brinksmanship or colonialism. Whatever parallels can be drawn don't seem to be very relevant, so the comment comes off as an attempt to deflect criticism.

Unless you live(d) in a time and place where Christian teachings were unavailable to you. Which accounts for a large majority of the humans who have ever lived.

I don't think the issue is the scarcity of copies, but rather the scarcity of artists. Not just anyone can write a book that people want to copy, and we should encourage and reward those that can and do.

Historically most artistic works, books, etc. were privately commissioned and one-of-a-kind. Publishing as we understand the idea came with the printing press and widespread literacy.

Exclusive rights over their published work encourages artists and inventors to publish their work, which is a clear benefit to society at large. The period of time it should remain exclusive and the specific rights that are made exclusive c

> Anyone can copy it, recreate with it, reproduce with it He seems to be confusing "freeware", which is basically a license for copyrighted work, with "public domain", which is the absence of a copyright.

When was PGP banned in the US?

by charonn0 2y ago
The law in the OP specifically includes websites, DNS, hosting, etc. And this isn't some greyweb torrent site with a thousand heads. Without access to US advertisers there's no reason why Tiktok should even want to have US users.

No content has been banned, though.
