of def

2018-08-22 03:51:07 UTC  

its a start

2018-08-22 03:51:14 UTC  

Still wondering what you have in mind with the internet bill of rights.

2018-08-22 03:51:22 UTC  

So glad I don't live in the uk

2018-08-22 03:51:34 UTC  

I really want to network and work for a unified effort with some of these guys

2018-08-22 03:51:45 UTC  

Agree entirely.

2018-08-22 03:51:52 UTC  

tbh at the moment i havent gotten anything written up

2018-08-22 03:52:15 UTC  

Personally, I like the idea of tying common carriage requirements to protection from tort.

2018-08-22 03:52:15 UTC  

partly because i want to share ideas with others on it

2018-08-22 03:52:43 UTC  

i also dont KNOW everything that could potentially be included

2018-08-22 03:52:43 UTC  

Honestly, at this point, I'm of the belief it's too late to write up something new *unless* you are well connected with lawmakers.

2018-08-22 03:53:01 UTC  

my main thing is protecting the First Amendment aspect

2018-08-22 03:53:06 UTC  

Can agree. but you don't have to know everything.

2018-08-22 03:53:13 UTC  

Without doubt.

2018-08-22 03:53:44 UTC  

yea i want to network with law makers

2018-08-22 03:53:46 UTC  

I'm all for common carriage type regulations. Google, Reddit, Facebook, Netflix, et al pushed Net Neutrality. I think they can eat their own medicine.

2018-08-22 03:54:05 UTC  

Write your congressperson I guess

2018-08-22 03:54:23 UTC  

I don't think it would have that much impact through.

2018-08-22 03:54:25 UTC  

in the middle of a mid term so not yet lol

2018-08-22 03:54:42 UTC  

depends on how close i can get to them during the campaign

2018-08-22 03:54:49 UTC  

I'm hanging around places like this hoping to get enough people on a common proposal to make a mass campaign.

2018-08-22 03:54:52 UTC  

from the grassroots.

2018-08-22 03:54:58 UTC  

yea

2018-08-22 03:55:07 UTC  

I think waiting for the miderm campaigns is probably too late.

2018-08-22 03:55:15 UTC  

Unless we want the dems making the legislation.

2018-08-22 03:55:31 UTC  

we do have sane dems oddly enough

2018-08-22 03:55:37 UTC  

And considering how close they seem to be pushing censorship, I don't really trust them.

2018-08-22 03:55:41 UTC  

we just have to highlight them

2018-08-22 03:55:49 UTC  

Yeah, but the leadership and the think tanks aren't.

2018-08-22 03:55:54 UTC  

i know

2018-08-22 03:56:00 UTC  

thats the main problem

2018-08-22 03:56:04 UTC  

Media matters and Shareblue are the ones really pushing the fake news angle.

2018-08-22 03:56:10 UTC  

I think we need to get ahead of them.

2018-08-22 03:56:13 UTC  

def

2018-08-22 03:56:26 UTC  

its a matter of how

2018-08-22 03:56:53 UTC  

I was highly skeptical about the massive mainstream push to keep net neutrality. A friend of mine who was a lawyer told me that it would give more regulation control to the gov't, and from what I had seen, it seemed to be that way. I'm still undecided on the whole net neutrality thing.

2018-08-22 03:56:58 UTC  

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)

2018-08-22 03:56:59 UTC  

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

2018-08-22 03:57:03 UTC  

I mean i could start posting publicly tomorrow about something but idk what kinda impact that might have

2018-08-22 03:57:04 UTC  

It needs work, but something like that.

2018-08-22 03:57:14 UTC
