It very much is. Networks don’t work on geographical borders. ISP censorship on a state level would be a nightmare to implement for a specific state without impacting users in a different state. On top of it the government would have to maintain a specific list of IPs they want banned given how easy it is to spin up a new website on a different IP. It’s not impossible, but it would be a nightmare to implement.
Because the rich control an overwhelming amount of the media we consume. They are capable of shaping the narrative to their benefit.
My PC has a secondary HDD that has my files. Movies, books, comics, TV shows, random stuff, etc. It’s more or less organized in their own folders.
Very true. That being said there are a lot of progressives in the country as well and some progressive states, or stores/institutions in those states, that would stand up to something like this. And I doubt ISPs would be ok with states trying to ban things like this because it would be very costly and not at all feasible to implement. So hopefully this doesn’t really affect online access to healthcare.
Of course then there’s the very real possibility that Trump will replicate this kind of enforcement at a federal level. It’s scary to think about but also a very real possibility. I feel bad for women in America and what’s going to happen to them in the next 4 years.
How would they even enforce this if the site is hosted in a different state or even country? Not like Texas laws have jurisdiction outside of Texas.
This is Brett Kavanaugh, Jared Kushner, and all the other shitheads from Trumps 2016 presidency all over again. Everyone’s going to be pissed about it but Republicans will toe the party line unfortunately.
Damn, remind me again why you live in Minnesota?
The Good Place was very good if you haven’t watched it already.
Oof. Is that rain at 10? What’s the humidity like?
No other gaming platform has the userbase Steam does. I see this more of a numbers thing than anything else. If 2% of the gaming population is far right then it’s going to be much more noticeable when one company has a userbase of ~100million. I’d be very surprised if the other companies like Ubisoft and EA have this kind of content moderation.
What industry standards is he talking about here? Steam code of conduct only says you must engage in lawful behaviour. There’s no American law banning far-right symbols. There’s no doubt Steam has a content moderation issue and I would love to see those things go as well. But unless there’s some kind of law then Valve is just going to ignore this problem like they’ve done in the past.
Are you asking how to use them or how it functions?
So it’s generic enough to set a precedent for other items/industries? That’s good news. These kinds of things would help. I wish we take similar steps like the EU where they make it a law to simplify repairs and stating the life expectancy of certain products.
Is it right to repair only for agricultural equipment? Or does it extend to common everyday electronics as well?
OP said MAGA, not POTUS.
I use the stair machine regularly after a workout. Not all the time, but often. It’s very exhausting. I have a fitness watch and my heart rate is in the 170s for the majority of it.
I find it really helped my leg muscles develop better. Especially my thighs and the muscles connecting to the knee.
So Democrats won with people who were invested in keeping Trump away from Presidency and failed virtually every other demographic?
Whoever you want to be part of your family.
They are shunned by a lot of people. Where do you think all the online hate comes from? Americans have just been so radicalized that a good chunk of them don’t care anymore. It’s not a majority, but enough to make a difference in politics. As seen by the elections that just took place.
Geo based IP doesn’t always apply and it’s more in line for a region than say something like a state. Sure there’s some overlap, but you’re going to also have a lot of misses.
