I find it encouraging that people are starting more and more to openly criticise Israel without fear of being called aNtIsEmItIc. They've used it so much it lost its effectiveness.
Yes, we need to openly discuss this. It's beyond ridiculous, and they are openly talking about their plans to censor us, which is exactly what Larry is doing. Fuck him.
And look at what they're talking about in Australia right now. This just isn't right, it makes me sick.
We, the majority, are being taken advantage of in the most disgusting and cynical way by this small group of terrible people and our traitor leaders who they bribe and blackmail, and I'm sick and tired of it, and it's long past time we stand up for our own interests.
It benefits him because that's the thing he wants.
I find it hilarious that hn is so money focused that a lot of people here will straight up deny that people some times do things for reasons other than money. But it's true, money is just an end.
It's not every request, it's spurious connection failures.
If anyone from Cloudflare is reading this: You say a fixed has been applied and you're monitoring results. IT IS NOT FIXED. IT IS FAILING CONSTANTLY RIGHT NOW
What's even more messed up is the reason why this is happening. Israel needs to take over TikTok so that it can propagandize young Americans for its own selfish ends.
This is a valid concern. But I think we should reject this law on the basis that it should be a recommendation rather than a mandate, without rejecting its premise entirely, because it actually has some merit.
Filtering on client-side is a good idea and lets parents parent without affecting anyone else, provided the filters work completely offline. And we should make sure governments and parents know this so they don't try to push any more Internet-wide censorship laws.
And instead of mandating it, it should work like movie ratings: OSes that implement parental control features get a "PG-capable" label, then make it illegal for minors to use a non-PG-capable OS. This should not affect adults, and parents can choose to not use it because it's a feature you have to manually turn on.
Not sure it is. It will require a lot of locked down control, and may make open source OSes effectively illegal. Even on Windows it will require only being able to install software from the MS store AND MS only allowing software that complies with this law to be installed by German users.
