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

They are becoming authoritative towards the nations under their umbrella and attacking nations outside that umbrella, namely United States in bid to force them to comply to what they want them to do.

I feel bad for nations like Britain for example.

If I lived in Britain, I'd be fleeing. It can only get worse from here.

European Union started out as a Trade Agreement...

There was nothing about the nations under it's umbrella giving up their sovereignty.

In addition to what you're allowed to do, there's also the matter of surveilence

People seem to confuse the European Union and United Nations as one.

Which can't be further from the truth.

Britain and the USA have deep data harvesters installed in Internet exchange stations and ISP datacenters

United Nations is a group of nations that came together to push back against encroaching Soviet Union.

News Flash... Soviet Union is dead and why should we keep United Nations together?

I think we should dissolve it and put up treaties in its place.

Agreements between nations...
