What “represented the internet” in your opinion?
“Small communities” still exist all over the internet, in far greater numbers than before. They exist on the giant social media platforms too. Discord, WhatsApp, facebook, reddit, etc all have millions of “small communities” on them.
Not growing at an absurd rate doesn’t mean their business model is stagnating.
That’s terrible, but you can’t just say “something needs to be done” because a bad thing happened, when the thing wasn’t preventable. Bad people exist, and bad people do bad things.
What do you think could be signed into law that would have prevented that from happening? Would those laws have prevented a taxi driver from doing it? A “friend” giving her a lift?
Ah yes because I’m sure whichever idiots run that site are completely unbiased and not at all stretching the truth to fit their agenda.
“Kids”……yeah right lol
As expected. As long as the videos aren’t uploaded and marked as private I don’t see a problem. You upload a video for the public to watch, why can’t AI “watch” it?
But if you’re legally responsible for the content that is posted on your platform, not many new companies are going to want to take on that risk.
What would likely happen is everyone would still only use the big players, but you’d upload your post/photo/video/whatever and it would be like “your post is saved, pending approval. Expected wait time: 18 hours”. It would be a terrible user experience, but a necessary thing because all it would take is one malicious loser uploading CP hoping to get it through so they can instantly report them to the police and/or file a lawsuit against the platform.
What do you mean by “more local, smaller communities”? Many small social media sites with very few users so moderation is easy? No one would use them because there is no one on them.
Do you mean the raspberry pi is going to have all the storage attached to it, with the optiplex just running Plex/JellyFin/Emby?
How many devices will you be streaming to, and what are they? Will you need to transcode any media to play it on other devices?
They're opposing the bills because the things they suggest won't do anything their existing safety procedures don't do, and reading the companies security/safety protocols and the proposed new ones it's pretty clear that they are not needed.
In her lawsuit filed against Lyft in January, Willford alleges she was “subjected to unwelcome, nonconsensual sexual contact, touching” and lewd comments during the ride.
Willford was picked up by a different driver than the person identified in the Lyft app, according to the suit.
How would these new bills have prevented this? How would they prevent a Lyft driver from letting someone else drive their car to pick up passengers? How would they prevent lewd comments during the ride? Riders can already record their entire trip on their phone if they want. These companies already do background checks. They already suspend drivers if complaints are made and deemed serious/real. They already ban drivers who assault people or who let other people drive for them.
What exactly do they think these new bills would solve and how?
Straight to name calling and trying to censor people. Hmm, didn't I just say something about the "progressives" jumping straight to that and it costing them dearly?
Seems you still haven't learned.
So if those platforms are better everyone will move to them if they don't like a 2% increase (or 2% decrease) in fees on Patreon. That's great, that's how the free market works. Vote with your dollars.
Laws and regulations already exist that all ride share companies have to follow around things like vetting their drivers.
