I am Zeta: Researcher of odd news.

I'm known on Jeff Holiday's server for just finding the most bizarre shit.

@athene big platforms would only enforce it to all IF there was still money in dealing business in the EU. Between GDPR and this, it might just make them go "well, fuck the EU. cost of business is too high"

ummm......

2018-05-30 16:55:16 UTC  

nah... they will implement filters

2018-05-30 16:56:07 UTC  

facebook thought they met the rules for GDPR.... and was then hit with a bunch of lawsuits they now need to pay to deal with.

2018-05-30 16:56:22 UTC  

btw just came across this article that might interest creators:

2018-05-30 16:56:57 UTC  

it would easier for them to either drop the EU, or disable all links, delete anything with x.xx, and not allow uploads

2018-05-30 16:57:13 UTC  

small lawsuits against billions they might pay EU

2018-05-30 16:57:44 UTC  

its their politics ... implement rules through money pressure...

2018-05-30 16:58:00 UTC  

there is 710 mil ppl in EU28

2018-05-30 16:58:12 UTC  

thats it?

2018-05-30 16:58:25 UTC  

just to put my conspiracy hat on for a sec... I wonder if the EU wanted US businesses like twitter and facebook to stop working in the EU, so an EU alternative could appear

2018-05-30 16:58:37 UTC  

they are incredibly protectionist

2018-05-30 16:58:47 UTC  

at this rate, china might be easy for facebook to get into, and more financially beneficial

2018-05-30 16:59:27 UTC  

wacka i think not... to much debate and opinions crossing the pond

2018-05-30 16:59:31 UTC  

fuck, investing in infrastructure in india might a better investment than changes this drastic to their system.

2018-05-30 16:59:32 UTC  

ppl became restless

2018-05-30 17:00:52 UTC  

@wacka no, socialist just don't understand that business are not made of free money (just like they don't understand the people they tax are not a piggy bank either), and that changes cost money. both for the government and companies.

2018-05-30 17:00:57 UTC  

its opposite acctually... repressing new players more likely... policy, platforms, media etc

2018-05-30 17:01:51 UTC  

global players established... no need for new distruptive patterens to appear i guess

2018-05-30 17:02:22 UTC  

my conspiracy theory hat 😉

2018-05-30 17:02:38 UTC  

however, given how potentially far reaching, it could put most internet sites out of business. which could, in theory, result in pressures from all over the world to repeal their policy.

2018-05-30 17:02:54 UTC  

also could lead to some sites boycotting the EU.

2018-05-30 17:04:19 UTC  

proactivity is always better than reacting... as now.... if you are proactive you prepare all that necessary for your idea... others can only be cought offguard and hastly react + not forsee all consequencess

2018-05-30 17:04:33 UTC  

i wonder what the potential for international fallout might be.

2018-05-30 17:05:38 UTC  

i mean, with GDPR, most people were more or less fine with it. But fair use? that is controversial. People are always pushing that boundary

2018-05-30 17:05:57 UTC  

and the US failing media?

2018-05-30 17:06:27 UTC  

anyway internet infuencers should talk about it since they are the ones under attack the most.... others will survive... that is why there is silence about it

2018-05-30 17:07:02 UTC  

well private buisness can do what they like in US

2018-05-30 17:07:41 UTC  

so if forced somewhere else...

2018-05-30 17:08:09 UTC  

and it benefits main actors in US also

2018-05-30 17:08:27 UTC  

and risk UK actors uploading using VPNs or Spoofing to get around UK law?

2018-05-30 17:08:45 UTC  

this entire act is to hold the hosts of the information, not the uploaders, liable

2018-05-30 17:09:07 UTC  

if they allow anything with a UK copyright to be uploaded, they are fucked

2018-05-30 17:10:04 UTC  

it will be implemented accross internet... no matter what... wait.. wil find some articles about this...

2018-05-30 17:10:56 UTC  

you just said they can do what they like in the US, yet admit they wont

2018-05-30 17:11:08 UTC  

i'm agreeing here
