Now instead of asking to verify age, make the parents input the age bracket and you reinvented parental controls. The correct way to protect children.

Please see the edit with clarification, since I guess I wrote it poorly and multiple commenters did not get my point.

Please see edit of my comment. Since it seems my point did not get across, I elaborated. Of course there are plenty right now since there are no barriers yet.

While it does not affect them directly, it is unlikely most app developers will give significant effort to only support a small percentage of Android users running custom ROMs. So while GrapheneOS users will be able to install apps, there will likely not be that many apps to install.

Edit: What I mean is that most applications will have to choose to either agree to google terms and identify themselves, or develop only for custom ROMs, or stop developing altogether. And I don’t think many will choose the 2nd option. Also, 1st option may not be available if google does not like your app.

It is also possible the (lower level) prosecutors are not really on-board with Trumps BS and are not really trying to convince the grand juries. Just doing the bare minimum to keep their job.

Unies are usually not free for non-citizens. At least not where I live.

I think rather than good enough, it is a good start.

keep something like this alive and happy

An AI, even AGI, does not have a concept of happiness as we understand it. The closest thing to happiness it would have is its fitness function. Fitness function is a piece of code that tells the AI what it’s goal is. E.g. for chess AI, it may be winning games. For corporate AI, it may be to make the share price go up. The danger is not that it will stop following it’s fitness function for some reason, that is more or less impossible. The danger of AI is it follows it too well. E.g. holding people at gun point to buy shares and therefore increase share price.

How can the company SENDING the takedown request be legally required to take anything down?! They have nothing to take down. If they could take it down themselves, why would they need to send a DMCA takedown request?!

Again, it’s not the companies complying with the takedowns we are complaining about. It’s the companies that automatically send takedowns, with no regard for whether the takedowns are legitimate. These companies are supposed to have a duty to verify their copyright claim is valid before sending a takedown. But no one is enforcing it, so they don’t do it. That is the biggest issue here. We need to punish companies and individuals for sending illegitimate takedown requests.

Yes. So? How is that relevant, if we are talking about companies automating the requests with no regards for their accuracy ruining the internet? Isn’t it a given?

I think it says automated takedown requests, not automated reactions to those requests.

It being shit does not stop corporations for using it, especially for stuff like customer service.

I use tuta. You can also add your own domain for infinite addresses (great for managing spam).

I am not telling that to republican politicians. There are clearly a lot of people who use gmail for republicans to care about it and I have seen people here worried gmail would stop respecting their filter settings. So I advise them to stop using gmail.

Again, what is the difference between a tariff and a tax? Tariffs don’t apply to domestic companies, while taxes do. EU controls tarrifs, but not taxes. This tax technically applies to all companies, domestic or foreign above certain revenue, although in reality, there are no domestic companies it would affect.

So it is a tax, not a tariff by a technicality. It may even be the case that a court will strike this law down, saying they can’t pretend it is a tax when it is clearly meant to tax only foreign tech giants.

PSA: Don’t use gmail. Sure, it is a good email and is free. And you may not care about privacy, even though you should. But the bigger danger is your e-mail being tied to your wider google and youtube account. Get banned for spamming youtube live chat, or writing “inappropriate” comment, or maybe for using ad-blocker in the future, and you can say goodbeye not just to your youtube account, but emails and drive data. This has already happend in the past, when youtube algorithm evaluated votening in livestream chat by sending 1 or 2 as spam and banned peoples entire google accounts.

Well… Taxes are not unified, trade policy is supposed to be. So this is kinda gray area as it is a tax affecting trade specifically. But VAT kinda gives the precedence that countries can tax foreign company business.

Some neighborhoods tried, shops ended up closing, causing a lot of problems for the community. The corpos won’t make it easy to pull one over on them.

Honestly, this is so rare it makes me wonder if the prosecutor really wants to indict the woman. We have seen prosecutors using grand juries to not indict (cops) without accepting responsibility for it before. May be a prosecutor with some morals but under great pressure to support ICE.

Of course also possible that people can finally see through what is happening and are not buying the BS.
