Inb4 major Lemmy instances get banned
Having Fedi folks agreeing with 4chan is not on my bingo card this year, or ever.
I might not like what you have to say, but I’ll defend to death, your right to say it kinda shit
Within reason. Libel, incitement to violence, hate speech, etc, should be illegal for obvious reasons
Everyone has a different definition, but yeah generally free speech in an ideal sense extends to just before you start causing what a reasonable person would concern harm to someone.
Fuck that. People spreading racial hate and public lies with the intention to mislead the public should be locked up.
I would say intent matters and while it’s impossible to truly determine it, we still have a distinction for murder/manslaughter and negligence.
If a politician lies or hides something for personal gain, that should be illegal, but there’s so much stuff the state does where it’s best if the general public don’t know, public order would probably break down pretty quickly otherwise.
Same with racial hate. If it’s just stating an opinion, fine, I probably don’t agree but go ahead. If you’re actively trying to harm (mentally, economically, socially or physically) that group, or inciting others to do the same, then that’s not fine.
I hate agreeing with fucking 4chan but fair
It’s ridiculous for the UK to issue fines to a company who doesn’t operate in the country. Just block access if that’s whatever your stupid laws dictate.
EU fined number of tech giants before, this is not new. If you have users and derive income from a country, you are operating in this country.
Well the internet is written mostly by bots. Everything needs Id and spying. We may end up building a new internet so fuck the old internet
Meshtastic-Net
We’ll build a new internet with blackjack and hookers.
Just like it used to be.
You know what, forget the blackjack
NomadNet feels a bit like a new old internet.
You’re right here, building it with us!
hands on hips “That’ll stop them.” /s
Send a ‘smart’ fine. Check mate, shitposters.
Don’t they ban VPNs lol? Been years since I even thought about this place
Not if you’re paying iirc
I see why they don’t care about it then lol
hell yeah
The British have all the good luck.
Yep, I just love having the Internet restricted for me! /s
To be fair it’s fkin fourchan
No, not really.
ℹ️ Outside of London, the GDP of the UK is at the level of either Missouri or Mississippi, and both are so bad I don’t even need to check which one it is. When you pass a banknote back and forth with your mate that boosts GDP. Britain is now widely known to be a hoax. Experts consider the country functionally uninhabited, much like “Australia”.
So, while I don’t know anything real about the UK, having been there once, it surely felt and feels from their people in the interwebs that you are right.
