Aaron Schwartz was marked as criminal, when he tried share the public knowledge once payed by taxes, AI stealing for training is almost legit because of innovation

More than a decade after Aaron Swartz’s death, the United States is still living inside the contradiction that destroyed him. Swartz believed that knowledge, especially publicly funded knowledge, should be freely accessible. Acting on that, he downloaded thousands of academic articles from the JSTOR archive with the intention of making them publicly available. For this, the federal government charged him with a felony and threatened decades in prison. After two years of prosecutorial pressure, Swartz died by suicide on Jan. 11, 2013. The still-unresolved questions raised by his case have resurfaced in today’s debates over artificial intelligence, copyright and the ultimate control of knowledge...

@mahryekuh @robb I was just thinking of this appalling hypocrisy today!
I see no 'Rule of Law', only 'Rule of Coin'
Personally I don't give a fuck about #tiktok. I have opinions from a free speech perspective but 90% of the rambling I see if just wildly off base or clearly pulling shock & awe tactics because their job of being influencers is looking perilously close to going poof.
I say ban em all. It's not like zuck or Elmo are good for the masses. However (unfortunately), it's clear both are buying the system rather than abiding by its laws (thanks capitalism) (eg compare #AaronSchwartz's tragic story to Zuck directly approving training models on copyrighted material. Both stole, only one was doing to to use the material to create & sell their own product...)
I was just doing my typical digging around on #peertube and found that #framasoft just posted
"the Internet's Own Boy" about the life and death of #AaronSchwartz
If you haven't seen it, you need to!
