Cooking != Tracking? That's historically been a very prominent purpose of cookies. Sure it's not exclusively tracking, but it's nonsense to make the assertion that "Cookies != Tracking"

And not all influential people are Elon Musk or Catturd.

Sometimes it's not just about quantity. Not all impressions are equal. And like it or not - Twitter is still the preferred communication platform of quite a few influential people.

Why the hell should we "mother may I" with Google for running apps on our own phones if it isn't sourced from the Play Store? The "security" rationale is horseshit given just how much malware is readily download abl

Yeah, how dare someone do or say anything that some random crazy asshole could use to threaten that person's personal or professional life or even put them in danger of physical harm. To hell with gay kids growing up in very traditiona

Incorrect! There is an enormous amount of policy that doesn't require significant money to oppose this in your local jurisdictions! This is one of them.

It's almost like a well-monied or well-connected lobbyist is pushing this heavily. Multiple contenders out there as to who it could be. But regardless of who the originator is, the push can be kneecapped. Imagine jurisdictions that

An offensive against Facebook is in order, then. If they're pushing war, then they shouldn't be surprised when they're targeted in turn.

So - given the law allows the NSA to do things given legal constructs, reality be damned, then what new legal construct do you think Wyden is sounding the alarm about? When we un-tether the possibile from tech-specific delineations, you&#x2

While I personally agree, I figure an economic argument bypasses the often recited "but AI will get better!" That very argument is also AI's downfall when it comes to writing books that'll sell.

by rockskon 7mo ago
From a purely economic standpoint, AI is its own worst enemy. Quicker to produce books made even cheaper and even automate-able? You could have AI generate the next Shakespeare and you'll almost certainly never get noticed amidst the

They welded shut the doors to Uyghur Muslims and had a bunch of donated food for them stacked outside their homes in one giant pile that they couldn't get to. It either rotted away or was eaten by animals.

So the military likes to keep saying. Most people here have no cultural relationship to that era of 38 years back. You may as well talk about the bubonic plague that ravaged San Francisco in the early 1900's and how it changed the cour

Have you? To my knowledge they require the OS to have an API for websites and services to access a determination of the age range from. This is a far cry from the breadth of what a "parental control API" would entail even if it wo

Military isn't quite as aggressively catering to the people who historically have bullied techies as they used to. Aside from that - there's a lot more people in tech now. It grew too fast too quick to maintain all the values i

Aside from the fact that you can get Metadata and that some communication frequently happens outside of E2EE - what US law do you believe mandates moderation? I'm curious.

Safeguard? No, we need to make this as socially radioactive as possible. We don't need to establish a permission structure to allow Facebook to continue doing this without repercussion.

If age attestation in the OS becomes law, there's much less friction afterwards to pass another law to have age verification as well. It should not be humored under the mistaken belief that "it's just age attestation in the
