@Dusty Morgan yeah, I had to wear headphones to hear him 😉
its called a link tax .. but its more like link "compensation" which would go through copyright take downs and suing for usage
@LEER when you click a link, browser sends "Referrer" header saying where you came from - the site can collect these referrers and demand ransom 😉
ransom from the websites ... not the users clicking the link
yeah, probably - and then website from you - so they will probably move to subscription or something like this 😉
referrer can be spoofed
or they just get rid of those types of links... which is what happened when they tried it in spain
yes, so they will probably have to invent something else or .... lock-down the browsers
and spanish news sites lost trafiic
The only thing our public schools are proud of is how much money they can waste
Almost all growth in per-pupil spending is aborbed by bureaucracy/administration.
Is the link tax going to apply to the public or just private entities?
If it applies to the public... VPNs become tax evasion. *Guys...*
@LEER yeah and I wouldn't bet google won't do this, nor microsoft nor mozilla if the law will require it
Let us just hope they implement/enforce it poorly or not at all.
Doesn't something like that already exist? When someone gets a hold of an url like youyube and then forward it to youtube in exchange for some benefit from youtube? I'm sure I heard of that...
I predict in the next few years we'll see governments try to lock down the internet to login codes only, because they have no idea how the internet works and will be like "oh if it's a login only system people will be held accountable!!! thisll totally work"
Everyone gets assigned a Unique Internet Code or some bullshit
This is now related to an old discussion but fuck it
>the left fears a man who got sucker punched by a scat fetishist soyboy while nerding out over a meme pin
Ffs
@LEER you mean Referrer ? it's already in the browsers, but "invent something else... or lock-down the browser" I mentioned - they would have to implement it... and "benefit from youtube" is totally different thing I guess

Prob because of pro trump users
you guys might find this to be really interesting. Back in April, my school put out a "Freedom of Expression Task Force Survey" to see where the students stand on free speech and all that jazz. I have a copy of the survey, which I'll attach to this.
Well today, in fact, just a few minutes ago, we got an email detailing the results, and there's some pretty interesting stuff in here. I'll attach a link to the results as well, but I'll quickly go through some of them here. My college has about 2000 students, and 628 responded. I was one of them.
80% of people feel comfortable sharing their opinions, with 90% of liberals (claiming to be anyway, any of these labels are claims because the whole thing is anonymous) feeling comfortable vs 58% of conservatives feeling comfortable
There are 2.7 times more bisexual females than bisexual males. There are 8.25 times more "queer" females than "queer" males. (It uses queer, which I imagine to be a blanket term for a bunch of different subcategories)
54% of students strongly agree (and 40% agree) that we should be exposed to opinions different from our own, with 0% of conservatives disagreeing and about 5% of liberals disagreeing.
Now here’s where it starts to get interesting. 48% of students agree that they SHOULD NOT be exposed to intolerant and offensive ideas, while 47% disagree (5% don’t care). However, the percentage of students per grade level (first year, sophomore, etc.) that disagree increases every year, with 58% of freshman agreeing that they shouldn’t be exposed to these ideas, but only 38% of seniors agreeing that they shouldn’t be exposed.
I’ll attach the results and original survey as google drive links.
yes I know that was a lot of text
but this is neat stuff alright
im so ready for a one party state in 20 years
Who uses the results?
Just be sure its your side thats the one party
its gonna be dems
everything's explained in the thing
have at it. I've got to get back to work, so unfortunately I won't be able to talk about it right now
what kind of person says "I dont want to be exposed to 'ideas'"
ignorant ideologues with malicious intentions
It might have been worded differently
THen again I cant come up with another way to do ti
I dont think they have malicious intentions... theyre just kids
sorry for being out of the loop, but why are people accusing Tim of being a white supremacist again? did something specific happen?
