I agree with you, but I think both of us about to be downvoted by these cheapskates lol

Yes, you’d just need to show that you actively moderate/apply content policies.

This will vary by jurusduction, but most of the West has laws similar to this I believe.

Lemmy instances are likely already protected in many countries legally so long as they act in good faith, ie actively moderate.

I think they have oversimplified the situation to the point that it is wrong.

1. Arguably, Lemmy instance providers (depending on where they live) are protected in the same way Facebook or other content hosts are. So long as you are acting in good faith you are protected against any illegal content your users upload. This does mean you need to remove illegal content as you become aware of it, you can’t just ignore what your users are doing.

2. There have been cases where although a user technically ‘possessed’ CSAM, it was shown that they did so unknowingly via thumbnails or it being cached. The police do investigate where it came from. It’s not as simple as just sending it to someone and you can have them convicted.

Lol first spam I’ve seen so far on lemmy

Give us the quotes then. You are interpreting them in the worst possible way, rather than how the average person who has to commute would.

I don’t see capitalism raising people out of poverty as bad. It’s one of the greatest achievements of capitalism.

The way they implemented it is the problem, and clearly not everyone is happy about it as we see in Tiannemen square and, more recently, the way Chinese citizens developed a coded vocabulary to express their discontent.

I feel like a lot of people on Lemmy suffer from this issue: they see things as right-wing just because their POV is decidedly left. I know the basic left-right spectrum is too simple, but we do need to recognize politics is relative and that just because you are further one direction than someone else doesn’t invalidate the fact that by common standards they are on that sane side of the spectrum.

Yeh it was soma.

Lol, Lemmy is still small enough that I know the thread you are talking about. It was a political discussion, yeh?

If I remember right most of the people who argued with you were from hexbear, which tracks lol.

I see we’re not so different after all…

I love that movie ha ha

‘Anti-homeless’ = they said the transit authorities should crack down on people smoking meth on the train and who generally make commutes unsafe and uncomfortable for passengers.

Are you people going to chase this poor person all over this damn site? Get a grip lol.

Thank you Tolstoy, great novel.

I’m so glad you people are too detached from reality to actually start your ‘revolution’.

Lmao those babies on hexbear are so fragile, of course they’ve come here to attack you.

And that one mod being like ‘no one mentioned Marxism’. Yeh, hexbear is famously right-wing 🙄🤣

Is there a bug in my app or is the comment you’re replying to just blank/empty?

I thought it was funny lol

Either way, unless we can prove that our current understanding of physics is wrong, devastation at a universal scale could happen any time, anywhere.

This is a disingenuous way to phrase this. Our current understanding of physics leads us to hypothesize that our universe could be metastable, there is no proof that we actually exist in such a state.

I feel like I’m a late starter too, only now in my 30s do I have my shit together and have a good job. Definitely has helped mental health, I still am working out things but it’s better. So glad I finished university and got a good degree.

What’s SSBN?

Yes, I don’t doubt that the totalitarian CCP took full advantage of the opportunity to grow their economy to what it is now. And they did that through state controlled capitalism and gross human rights violations.

I don’t doubt they are smart, but the methods they have used, ie being a single party authoritarian state, are barbaric. It was a mistake to help China succeed as we did.
