      I really think they’re just saying the dumbest shit possible so trump looks good.

      Another one of those chucklefucks said they were going to fire every federal employee with a SSN that ends in an odd number.

      A legit ~50% reduction in the government based on a random metric with no thought given to consequence or if the government would even still function.

    “When I get into office, the first thing we have to do, social media companies, they have to show America their algorithm,” Haley said during an interview with Fox News Tuesday. “Let us see why they’re pushing what they’re pushing.”

    When they deliver a list of network nodes, interconnections and weights, I’m not sure it will answer her question.

      In a bunch of useless formats afters years of back and forth because the government can’t define what it actually wants in concrete technical terms.

      That said I am for what they are asking for here (specifically transparent algos). Hopefully they can get someone like Mozzilla hired to actually handle it.

        It’s a tool to oppress dissent.

        Realistically, you can’t enforce the law, but if you find an anonymous account for anything on someone’s phone or laptop, you can easily arrest or fine them.

          It’s because if someone says a mean thing about them or their views online, they want to be able to identify them and direct stochastic terrorism towards them.

          They want to go back to an America where even though a shit ton of white people hated the KKK, no one would say it publicly because then you were their biggest target as a “race traitor”.

          Because that’s the only way to get people to stop pointing out how mind-blowingly stupid their ideas are.

      Create laws for social media sites to validate identity or force them through something like login.gov with il2 verification. More and more federal services are starting to use them for managed identity.

      Great question!

      A National internet ID of course!

      it might be called a Crypto-quantum-cyber-safety-passcode and you’ll need to use it in any site that collects and stores data about you. It will be for your safety!

      /s
      
      Speaking of...
      
      Has it ever been explored to pen a modern day update similar to , or to  the constitution (amendment)?
      
      (It would add new things) which could  prevent future stupid laws and the encroachment of individual privacy and how other entities can collect, store, use and sell one's data and metadata they create. It would also avoid wasting of resources..
      
      
      I'm sure there are other modern things today that the founding fathers could never  have imagined at the time  - but you better believe they would have included if they had the slightest idea!
      
      The tough part is that it would need to be well thought out and reasonable (and practical) 
      
      
      Otherwise, it will always be a knee jerk defensive reaction to all this nonsense all the time. It's exhausting and a waste of $

    Cancelling and/or doxxing everybody even slightly opposed to the party line will become commonplace.

    Speaking your mind out in the open requires bravery I sadly do not possess…

        Correct. The snakes at the top play both sides against the middle, and while everyone is distracted by the puppet show, they do whatever they choose. Classic high level deception. Divide and conquer. Sadly most privacy bros don’t understand basic psy-ops and the art of war and deception.

      Giving a blowjob to every straight adult male in America (estimated 116.8M) with an average of 9 minutes and 30 seconds leaves us with 2,111 years of straight dick-sucking for any presidential candidate.

        She can get help from Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor-Green, Tiffany Justice, and the rest of those Moms for Liberty cunts. Give 'em something useful to do besides trying to get books banned.

    Something something „Land of the free“…

    Republicans are Soviets. Not communists but Soviets. They want to abolish freedom, and they want Putin in charge of the USA.

    GOP trying to slow fascist creep on every front.

    Thankfully they fully telegraph every move outloud

    Problem is not enough of us pay attention or truly understand the encroaching facsim that is threatening democracy.

    This is your daily reminder to vote responsibly in 2024.

    I feel like civilisation is kinda doomed when we let people come up with the same shitty idea every few years over and over again. It has been proven again and again that using your real name doesn’t deter people doing the most heinous things on social media. Bigots don’t care of you know their names. Just log into Facebook Twitchan or any other social media for a second to see that this idea is complete bs. But whatever even if she would realise it there will be someone in a few years trying to do it again.
