It's a tool for censuring things. And it will hide behind a very few number of cases where its put to good use.

But most of the time, its probably gonna get misused.

Yeah, but I think they are already allowed to do that, if you dont opt out. This is about AI training with data from their own platforms, Facebook, Instagram and Threads, where they werent allowed before.

They harvest your data to sell like they did yesterday. Nobody should be fooled by that.

People based in the EU who use our platforms can choose to object to their public data being used for training purposes.

And last in the article it says it works with EU regulators to ensure its legal, basically.

Also, they are only allowed to use post, comments etc from adults.

So yeah, they probably scrape less data in EU. At least what they are telling.

True, but this changes the world dynamic much more than we'd think.

Before China would sell materials and other countries would have factories to produce products from them.

Now, China can move the production into their own country, selling their products without the middleman, but still keep the prices up.

Factories shut down in the rest of the world and open in China. They now control the full product from material to the product sale.

For some it's long overdue. Fiber is soon to be 20 years old at my house.

But honestly, I don't think most people need hyper fiber anyway, so that's probably why we havent seen it.

I think your work with this client is nice. You obviously put alot of hours into this one.

You'll probably discover that AI and maybe Discord is unpopular on this platform, and therefore you will not get alot of love here.

BUT it is a nice client you made. Don't want you to think otherwise, even though people disagree on some of your implementations. Because that's the thing you are being judged on. Not your hard work and skills.

Hope the best for your client.

Is it really a problem for freedom of speech, if it's only a platform getting banned and not specific content?

If you are allowed to talk about anything still everywhere else on the web, I can't see the freedom of speech card being valid in this case about FB.

FB is already controlling what you see, making freedom of speech better without them.

None of the above.

I dont know shit other than the US having debt. You guys know more than me about macro economy.

But good job being rude.

Finally. We all about to see better prices and more features. If this ends in lower app store fees, its a massive win for every app company in the world!

Anti-capitalism does not mean anti-technology or anti-trade; it means building a society based on an economic basis other than capitalism. Non-capitalist societies in the modern world also possess technology, conduct trade, and experience material progress — mechanisms that are built into the standards development system.

It’s just that how decisions get made about that progress and who owns and benefits from the fruits of that progress is different than in a capitalist society.

This is basically what the EU has doing with USB-C.
