Not only are you shown content that you react the strongest too, people create content that they react strongly too, continuing the cycle. A user with a balanced interpretation and somewhat neutral feelings about a topic generally won'

Great essay, I want to highlight a particularly relevant part from it. > Contrary to what we would like to believe, there is no such thing as a structureless group. Any group of people of whatever nature that comes together for any lengt

In my experience with the GDPR it's selectively enforced on large companies and not small mom and pop shops unless they are handling unusually sensitive data. The legal system can only handle a couple of cases at a time, spending that

The position you have about this topic serves the status quo of corporations and advertisers deciding on what speech is acceptable. That is the status quo today with the major tech platforms. Personally I find it detestable. And you'd

This is one of the most important parts of the EUs upcoming digital services act in my opinion. Platforms have to share data with (vetted) researchers, public interest groups and journalists.

Steam takes a cut of the sales price and a cut of microtransactions done through the Steam wallet. But they don't force developers to use the Steam wallet. I wouldn't be surprised if that last point is what will ultimately matter.

The AI act I won't comment on as I'm not that well read on it and it's not been codified yet. I agree that some parts are more wishful thinking then others. The belief that if EU removed their regulation a big tech sector wou

Yes I concur /s. Don't use Google search. Don't use websites with Google Analytics. Don't use websites with Google Ads conversion tracking. Don't use Android phones. Don't send SMSes to android phones. Don&#x27

Yes, and it creates huge problems for the whole world when an arbitrary multi-billion dollar organisation can "impose rules on content moderation" and "privacy" with zero accountability while skirting local laws. Non-ame

Chat control was struck down last month and was never going to go through anyways as just having a cursory understanding of technology is enough to understand that banning end to end encryption is infeasible. And chat control being struck d

Your link probably doesn't lead where you want it to btw.

Nada? It's made huge changes in how businesses use ad tech. And yes, I work as a martech consultant. Pre-2018 nobody cared about sharing data with third parties. Today nobody wants to be this company. https://www.nrk.no&#x2F

Unanimous support in the Norwegian subreddit as well. I don't think Tesla's will be as popular in the future. They've greatly damaged their brand through these actions already.

Ok, it's just such an absurd position I wanted to make sure. So essentially you're arguing about semantics?

What are you stating? I genuinely don't get the point. Are you saying that screens/apps don't cause addiction?

The demo is neat. How did you do the backend? As far as I see your offering is only related to the UI components. What databases and backends are you seeing users have success with?

I don't disagree fully, but I don't believe that Omegle is comparable to the bench scenario entirely either. The numbers are pretty wild. > There is evidence that Omegle has improved its moderation practices. In 2019, Omegle ma

I feel like it's pretty obvious the bill wouldn't pass. It's just so off-base from all other EU tech policy. Banning end to end encryption is both ineffective and practically impossible. And sending "CSAM" (in a lot

That's the point, it's not. But many people (me included) seem to be under the impression that his views will lead to this end-game. Particularly points like: > We believe in market discipline. The market naturally disciplines

You seem to think that the article is against technological development. It's not. It's a critique against the libertarian hyper-capitalist model that a16z argues for in his manifesto which arguably brings downsides with it in tec

Skimming through your previous posts I think we differ too fundamentally to have a reasonable discussion about this. I'll state that I'm happy that your libertarian/anarcho-capitalistic views on regulations, taxes and governm

I don't think you understand GDPR as it is about protecting privacy. It is however true that a nice side-effect of GDPR is giving legislators the opportunity to rip into businesses that don't comply with it. 10/10, can't

Yes, this may have happened anyway. Yes, Facebook is not fully responsible. But I disagree with you. The lines are clear. Facebook de facto became the internet in a country of ~50 million people through subsidising their platform through fr

It's less of an equation and more of a counter example for how absurdly oversimplified and privileged the position of "just ignore it" is. >Yes the solution to racist speech is to just ignore it. Citation needed. As a fore

This reads like chatGPT generated rubbish. And based on your post history (historically short comments, and then lately more longer-form content like this) I guess that is the case. While I do agree on most of the points, the conclusion &qu
