I can’t wait for a moment where he slip, jumping from the last thing to the next, and use the epstein files as a distraction for something else out of sheer stupidity.

This could be good, except that one move is shooting its own country in the everything.

It would probably be the same content-wise. The bots are put there by people that wants to push an agenda. If we somehow reach a point where such a network with only live, confirmed humans exists, they’ll still push their points I guess. After all, we already see prominent account posting batshit crazy thing under their real name, so that would not change much.

And, yeah. It’s not really being an anarchist to think smaller, closer spaces are a good idea. Worldwide, almost universal social connection all the time, even without the constant barrage of garbage, is bound to completely overload our brain. Focusing on smaller communities, hand in these for a limited/controlled duration, things that actual matters, sounds really nice. It’s more of a “technical minimalism”, if we keep things digital.

Can’t wait until the next next big thing: “F”, for “Fuck you”.

I’m pretty sure most countries have an idea of peace that does not openly include “start frivolous wars”. We’ll be ok without that.

For starter, the fact that I can’t find anything related to that in any local (France), German, European, or international news outlet. The closest thing there is is a change in unemployement benefits, replaced by a stricter (but with similar monthly amount) model (https://www.iamexpat.de/career/employment-news/german-cabinet-agrees-replace-burgergeld-neue-grundsicherung). Added with the absolute lack of any external source from this post’s link, a bit of caution sounds reasonable.

Just wish for consequences of his actions.

He’s too old for that. A country who’s president is, say, around his 50s, should fear for potential consequences. Trump? He’ll be dead long before a single actual trial is even started at this point. Better stop the murder and destruction sooner than let it go in the prospect of posthumous condemnation.

There’s two things people in position of power are good at: talking about child safety, and not giving a single crap about actual kids.

Ah, so THAT is the problem they’re looking to solve here.

We’re collectively picking all the worst solutions, aren’t we?

“Oh no, a number, that’s threatening the greatness of the US and we must act immediately!”

• Some couch fucker, probably

What, you think parents should watch over their kid and provide them interaction? What is this, year 1200?

Yes, but under the promise that you won’t be under any kind of protection if it happens again in a few years.

Nah. The only place where trump would be acceptable is as a footnote in a history book. Get that filth out of the way.

No need. As I said, it’s still here, in plain view, for people to see. When you see someone harming someone else, your blame goes to some movie instead of to the people involved. You’ve been very adamant about that.

Lol. You’re aware that the whole discussion remain available for all to see? Ignoring things won’t change anything.

And you’re getting it.

Wow, not addressing any single issue raised and citing people in derogatory ways. You sure made your point clear. I’m sure you’re the man in every party you would go.

Murder is illegal. Would you advocate against murder in movie? Guess not, uh?

Let’s make choking people illegal… wait, that’s already the case. At least I hope it is. Would you advocate against choking in movies? Yes?

Nice double standards you got. YOU outed yourself as someone that’s ok with censoring things that don’t relate to them, on the flimsiest of pretense, without actually caring about actual people involved. You just want something you dislike to disappear, and use imaginary justification.

If you were advocating to protect victims? Sure. If I was saying “nah, choke women away!” then sure, I’d be wrong. I’m saying banning something will not change anything. And you’re hell-bent on banning things.

Unless you’re born yesterday, it is transparent that such laws are rarely, if ever, about protecting anyone. It’s about setting up a mechanism to arbitrarily forbid contents and idea. But, I guess you’re a-ok with that, and don’t care either about actual people that gets rolled over by this. At no point you took the side of the supposed “victims” during filming, nor the “victims” of people supposedly “inspired” by porn, that are actually not the victim of porn, but the victim of lunatics that wants to physically dominate other, did it before porn, and will continue after porn. If at a single point in time you considered these people instead of crusading for “no, choking bad, ban imagery of choking!” you’d have gotten it.

There is no good outcome with arbitrary censorship. You’re only giving the rope to hang yourself. Congratulation.
