Yes that’s all true. But it’s a seperate problem that’s happening anyway, 230 or otherwise.

Yes that’s why repealing is the wrong thing to do.
As I said amend it.

The Fediverse doesn’t have any black box algorithms that recommend content. With the flat repeal of 230 it would be in danger. With my amendment it wouldn’t.

I don’t know it for a fact, I just know it’s true, that Google collects and logs every byte of data that goes through its servers.

I never mentioned repeal and replace.
As I said, don’t repeal it, amend it.

Those who are harmed decide. 230 is about protecting companies from law suits filed by users.

The whole “end of free speech” issue comes not so much from the government sensor really (that’s still firmly restricted by the first amendment) but from companies themselves banning any content or accounts that might get them sued.

But if that risk is limited only to what they recommend outside a user’s direct boolean search and filters, they can still host content without concern. But they need to be sure they know and approve exactly what their algorithms are pushing onto people.

What crisis did capitalism have in the 60s & 70s?
I’ve never heard of that before.

As far as I know that was the best years this country has known. Top tax rates were ~90%. The middle class was larger and more prosperous than anytime before or since. We were making huge strides in science and tech, as well as social progress.

But the greedy NeoLiberals fealt that while things were good and getting better for almost everyone, they were being held back by all the taxes and regulations that helped the unworthy “poors” at their expense.

Section 230 doesn’t need to be repealed, it only needs to be amended.

It basically says that online platforms can’t be held liable for the content their users post.

However that was put in place before black box algorithms were put in charge of peoples feeds, and literally hacking our brains to keep us outraged, afraid, and engaged.

It needs to be amended to hold companies liable for content their algorithms recommend to people. It’s one thing to allow people to post whatever they want. That needs to preserved. But if a site "recommends " something that’s harmful, they should be held responsible for that recommendation.

I recently discovered ReviOS. I just did a clean re-install of Windows with it. And its been great for the last few days. No dumb bloatware or spyware. Though not so privacy crazy as to break things. Supposedly it’s changes can’t be rolled back with updates due to the techniques they use. We’ll see

Not when it gives you a false sense of security.

Your privacy is compromised eithor way. That’s the point. You just don’t want it to be so obvious. Like putting a spare key under the welcome mat at your door, that’s a bad idea.

Because people don’t pay attention to signs.
You knowing people can easily see everything you’ve posted, effects your behavior here, far more than any banner you’d also complain about having to click past every time.

Yes. The later makes very clear to everyone, they don’t have any privacy here.
My point is, that’s a good thing.

When I read the headline without context, I thought casting directors were just casting actors unseen over the phone.
But this is worse.

Your conflating a fork, with using an engine in your own browser. Nobody is forking Gecko, Blink, or WebKit. LibreWolf is a modified Firefox, not a fork. The LibreWolf team takes every update to Firefox, removes a few features, ads a few more, and releases their version. Same with Brave. Neither is maintaining their own separate fork. They just take the latest from Mozilla or Google and incorporate their code into it.

Maybe someone could fork one of them. Though they wouldn’t be getting any assistance with feature or security updates from the original branch anymore. They’d be totally on their own with what could quickly be an old code base. Which is why nobody does that.

But back to the important part. What do I need to be saved from?

You’re thinking short term.
And, what do you mean save me? Am I dying?

I can’t wait for Servo

It only encrypts the data within the HTTPS packet. But where that packet is going is still transparent.

It also doesn’t do anything for non web traffic. Email through SMTP or IMAP, FTP, lots of things don’t use HTTP at all.

But VPNs aren’t supposed to make you anonymous.
They secure your data while in transit to/from the exit node. Maybe that’s your job so you can access their LAN. Or it’s a public VPN that secures your dada from the local WiFi or ISP you’re directly connected to. That’s all it’s built for.

I heard yammy, not yanny, every time. Which at the end of the video seems to be wrong. I did hear laurel when it was pitched down.

But that doesn’t really help what I’m saying, because I’m not listening to your speakers in your room with you.

Do you have trouble understanding people in the real world?
How oftin?
