They *will* pass legislation if the get power. And I'd bet it would be outright fascistic (in the true definition--government and corporations colluding to seize collective power through censorship and law)
I think the internet bill of rights should mirror our bill of rights in the way, but adopted to use for internet.
Right to free exchange of ideas without being isolation or prosecution
Right to free expression without fearing for your life
Right to free speech without the fear of censorship
Right to creative enterprise without the fear of being coarse, intimidated, or shutdown
Right to own your own wealth without loosing it due to third parties
Right to free press without fear of being coarse, intimidated, or blackmailed
I mean i could start posting publicly tomorrow about something but idk what kinda impact that might have
It needs work, but something like that.
without*
on the first one
@Termer I like Pai's stance actually. It's a good philosophy but the NN legislation as written and passed was a huge power grab that could be too easily abused.
Thanks Lagomaster.
@Lagomaster24 please @ me.
isolated or persecuted*
Also, look into the Internet Bill of Rights proposed by AT&T. calling for an internet bill of rights will certainly be conflated with their proposal.
Basically we hammer it down so there is no wiggle room for misinterruptation by the social media, government, and mainstream news.
also look at the post I made earlier from KiA.
We have to keep moving, we can't stagnate due to fear of getting it wrong.
@Timcast What is your opinion on the internet bill of rights idea? Should we allow regulation which off-chance government can use regulations to control what we see, say, or do? Or should we go towards creating a bill of rights that could allow us to form a agreement with the government and social media corporations that they will allow us these rights, if they infringe upon these rights, they become open to being held accountable to the laws of the nation?
Yeah. We're really late to the punch. Really late.
And Warner is already drafted up what he wants to do to fight 'fake news.' Very scary stuff from a privacy standpoint.
The bill of rights for internet in my opinion should in some way allow us to hold social media and government accountable when they infringe upon the right agreed upon. They won't loose control of their websites and corporations, but they will be held accountable if they infringe our rights.
If you wanted to name it, it depends on who you're presenting it to
I really think regulations isn't the way to go.
For example if you were aiming a press release at the public you could call it a universal shitposting license
In congress you could probably call it something like the Anti Censorship Bill
Or the Internet Freedom Bill
thats pretty american
I think European draft idea is designed to milk the social media corporations and foreign citizens for all their worth in money. The way they phrase it scares me.
Pay for links?
I'd love to help with/sign an internet bill of rights
Are you kidding me, people would stop posting links anymore.
Linking should be legal without exception
I hate how websites like TPB are outlawed
because all they carry is links
That one stood out to me, because all it is... they are trying to making it impossible to link while gaining as much money they can from it.
I notice a lot that the European union are trying to get as much money they can from Social Media companies, making the taxpayers from foreign nations pay for it all.
I'd be very scared if linking to things was an offense, because I run a URL shortener
and I could get in serious trouble if someone, say, created a redirect to cp
Linking/redirecting should carry no liability
^
It's a very scary world, I don't need liability to what I *link* to
Well that is what they are trying to do.
I have grown so much distain towards the European Union as of late.
plus, the destination of a link can vary, so if linking to illegal material were illegal, then an easy act of sabotage would be to make a link to legitimate content, then change it to something illegal
