because tech seems to keep disrupting

2019-01-01 13:18:02 UTC  

thus my concern

2019-01-01 13:18:20 UTC  

we need a digital bill of rights. Do that, and we're PROBABLY safe from an explosion of digital censorship?

2019-01-01 13:18:23 UTC  

maybe we're at a stage of constant turbulence

2019-01-01 13:18:28 UTC  

also possible.

2019-01-01 13:18:50 UTC  

just when we think the distruption of certain spheres by tech is settling

2019-01-01 13:19:06 UTC  

they're already coming up with the next ones

2019-01-01 13:19:11 UTC  

true. Hm.

2019-01-01 13:19:27 UTC  

Well, I'm about ready to abandon most digital media entirely.

2019-01-01 13:19:33 UTC  

this is frankly getting rediculous

2019-01-01 13:19:41 UTC  

like what ?

2019-01-01 13:19:43 UTC  

news ?

2019-01-01 13:20:10 UTC  

mainly discord (controlled environment, not an open town square like twitter) and SOME gaming

Twitter isn't a very open town square imo

I just get banned and called a bot all day

Last time was my 30th account

But Everyone should go on a media free camping trip every month or so

2019-01-01 14:08:41 UTC  

i'm on twitter

2019-01-01 14:08:51 UTC  

I follow a very select group of people and publications

2019-01-01 14:08:53 UTC  

its good

2019-01-01 14:09:01 UTC  

nobody who "outrages"

2019-01-01 14:18:10 UTC  

wow you're either lucky or skilled in navigating that mess...

2019-01-01 14:23:17 UTC  
2019-01-01 14:26:24 UTC  

@Vannevariable just avoid the mess

2019-01-01 14:26:32 UTC  

don't follow people who have zero nuance

2019-01-01 14:26:42 UTC  

and like to get social currency by outraging

2019-01-01 14:26:48 UTC  

or virtue signalling

2019-01-01 15:00:38 UTC  

*1:00 for Bolsonaro to take office here in Brazil*
I'm going to post links to YT Livestreams of the event when it starts at 14:30 Brasilia time.

2019-01-01 15:04:28 UTC  

This will be a very different event when compared to the previous ones, this time there will be no shows nor anything of the sorts for security reasons and the airspace has been closed to all unauthorized aircraft within a radius of 49km around the area of the event, there are even AA missile platforms in position around the perimeter and fighter jets will be doing air patrols over the region.
The reason for all of this is because there have been several threats posted online, including by a group that placed a bomb in front of a church on december 24, but the bomb failed and the police disarmed it, the same group that claimed to be the authors have said that they were planning to put a bomb on the inauguration of Bolsonaro, also there have been threats made by jihadist groups to attack his inauguration because he said he is going to move the brazillian embassy to on Israel to Jerusalem.
Also, the Israely PM is visiting Brazil at this moment.

2019-01-01 15:27:07 UTC  

O.o

2019-01-01 15:27:44 UTC  

seems rather extreme, the guy comes over as a bigoted arsehole though.

2019-01-01 15:36:20 UTC  

Its mostly fake news or quotes taken out of context

2019-01-01 15:38:07 UTC  

Like the
"I wouldn't rape you because you are not worth it"
Which in reality was
"I wouldn't rape you because you do not deserve it"

And there is also the context in which this exchange happened, because ha said that in response to har calling him a rapist as a slur

2019-01-01 15:39:41 UTC  

Aaaaaand, this exchange happened after a meeting where she was trying to defend an underage rapist who raped a 16 years old girl and murdered both her and her boyfriend, through beheading...

2019-01-01 15:41:52 UTC  

Which really angered Bolsonaro, who is very fond of the idea of death sentence to these kinds of criminals, while people like this far-leftist congresswoman, Maria do Rosario, who wants these kinds of people to go through a sort of reformation/rehabilitation.

2019-01-01 15:48:49 UTC  

@Furlong you Brazilian ?

2019-01-01 15:48:56 UTC  

Yes

2019-01-01 15:48:59 UTC  

nice

2019-01-01 15:49:04 UTC  

I love Bolsonaro

2019-01-01 15:49:48 UTC  

He may not be perfect, but he is the best we've got to do something about the current condition of my country

2019-01-01 15:49:50 UTC  

I know that most of what he says is political rhetoric
he can do a good job
I'm hoping for the best, tbh
