@midtsveen Not a fan of #InternetCensorship, but that doesn't mean I'd defend a #CSAM generator like #Grok.

  • I woubder at which point governments that proudly parade any Pedo Forum seizure and arrest around will quit #Shitter / #Xitter or if they want to basically decriminalize Pedos that way?

Yes, this is a question directed at @Bundesregierung & @europarl_en !

I really like the concept of #ConsequenceFreeSpeech for online spaces. I want to tell nazis online to kill themselves without getting prosecuted for it.
@HaTetsu @briankrebs yes, and whilst the general idea is good, cuz #authorship = #copyright & #FreeSpeech#ConsequenceFreeSpeech, it only disadvantages those that abide the laws and empowers those that act disingeniously and maliciously!

@ehasbrouck @SuzyShearer @steaphan and to go back on topic places like #Germany have commercial #Copyright with rights reserved ON EVERYTHING for 70+ years post-mortem unless explicitly licensed under diffferent terms as well as non-disavowability of authorship (aka. "Public Domain") because #ConsequenceFreeSpeech IS bad

  • Given that it's most likely any "collecting society" would just pocket any applicable settlements *unless the authors explicitly ain't members...

But that's all #NotLegalAdvice and I hope @wbs_legal as a licensed law firm spechalized on media and IP laws to pickup these news and thoroughly debunk #ClassActions from the #USA...

@[email protected] @[email protected] _ Doesn't apply to *any* authors unless copyright was timely registered with the US Copyright Office (a formality prohibited by the Berne Convention on Copyright, but the US thumbs its nose at international law). And it only applies to a small fraction of the works copied, even if registered. More from the NWU: https://nwu.org/anthropic/

@riley @threetails yeah, either way, oee doesn't have to weep a single tear for Charlie Kirk.

  • He's a fascist asshole who publicly called for #TransGenocide in front of packed audiences of other fash that cheered to him Sportpalast-Style on more than one occasion.

Had he ever gotten his sorry ass to Germany, I'd made shure his #hatespeech would've landed him in a slammer or at least get him publicly banned from entering, cuz here we have #FreeSpeech, not #ConsequenceFreeSpeech!

@danirabbit Some people really are #assholes...

Free Speech

xkcd
@BrideOfLinux yeah, with absurdity like claiming #Germany has no "#FreeSpeech" when in fact it has (just not #ConsequenceFreeSpeech!) and claiming it's worse than #ElSalvador (when in fact people in Germany.don't get shot on the streets or forcibly disappeared because the head if government dislikes them)…

@anneapplebaum last time I checked #Germany didn't randomly jail people off the streets or allow for years of jailtime without a court case, hearing and proper due process.

  • Nor does it have even the same incarceration rate or even number or acts as "outsorced GITMO" for a christofacist regime.

  • And unlike the U.S. legal residents and people with Visas don't get jailed or deported or denied entry.

Obviously #Trump and his goons don't like that #FreeSpeech doesn't mean #ConsequenceFreeSpeech in #Germany.

I do expect @AuswaertigesAmt and espechally @Bundesregierung to publicly protest this, given that any impartial and independent scoring system not systematically biased to #US preferences will attest Germany to have better metrics in every regards compared to the #USA.

Free Speech

@ashtime @randahl turns out #Germany has #FreeSpeech, but not #ConsequenceFreeSpeech...

  • And that is a good thing!
