  • I doubt it. EU regulations demand all manner of documentation, including who supplied software. Tech companies should also protect users and enforce "our" laws, which means a lot of surveillance.

    App stores already have to do developer verification, under the celebrated DMA.

    There's a pro-business loophole meant to keep bureaucracy low. Very small companies are exempted. It's kind of ironic, because Lemmy usually hates this kind of pro-business anti-regulation thing. To be fair, using this loophole to shield devs, as F-Droid wants, is an abuse. It's only meant to allow small companies to grow until they have the resources to handle the verification.

  • I know a few marxist-leninists IRL who, as you say, are quite normal.

    Really? How does that work? Like, in what way are the ml?

    Just surprised and curious.

  • It's a design feature of the fediverse that larger instances are better. Bluesky goes a long way towards solving these issues. So there's no point in complaining about people not making sacrifices.

  • Ok. I'm sure AGI-1 and AGI-2 weren't real AGI. What number is the real AGI? Is it AGI-3?

  • Someone who uses the /s is no better than an emoji user.

  • But the parents are doing it wrong! Most don't even disown their kids when they come out as gay or trans; which is the fault of social media anyway.

  • *Canada

  • ARC-AGI-3

    What happened to ARC-AGI-1 and -2?

  • Yes, but everyone on Lemmy knows that the law only applies to the bad guys.

  • Yes, of course. Bluesky is also social media and so the precedent set by these cases will apply to it. Besides, knowledge of a subject does tend to affect your judgment.

  • The New Mexico court heard how Meta’s 2023 decision to encrypt Facebook Messenger – its direct messaging platform, which predators have used as a tool to groom minors and exchange child abuse imagery – blocked access to crucial evidence of these crimes.

    Encryption! These monsters!

    In the next phase of the legal proceedings, due to begin on 4 May, the attorney general’s office will seek additional financial penalties and court-mandated changes to Meta’s platforms that “offer stronger protections for children”, said Torrez.

    The design feature changes the state is seeking include “enacting effective age verification, removing predators from the platform, and protecting minors from encrypted communications that shield bad actors”.

    And when that happens, the headline lemmings here will call it enshittification and call for even harsher rules.

  • Yeah, so I'm holding off celebrating this "historic win" for protecting the children.

  • By the by, anyone know what Daryl Bem is up to these days?

  • At this point, I'd be surprised if clairvoyance wasn't a taken as a serious explanation/defense in some quarters.

  • Best guess about the downvotes: UK lawmakers have already discussed VPN crackdowns. Not sure at what stage the proposals are. So it's not a slippery slope argument. Such laws are part of what builds a Great Firewall.

  • Why the downvotes?

  • Even if you only get your news from here, you can't possibly have missed that AI companies are getting sued...
