I have gone through some trauma therapy that has helped where no talk therapy has been able to. There are lots of studies showing the effectiveness too. Look up EMDR or brain spotting.
I really just have to push back on the "doing nothing at all" or "talking to a rubber duck" piece because I'd been trying that for years and trauma flashbacks don't seem just go away on their own.
Good info! Fwiw, I wasn't intending for it to be "inflammatory bait", but a jab at the congresspeople who use "for the children" as a way to sneak in bad legislation instead of actually doing things that could protect children
Tbh I'm kind of surprised no government has set up a service themselves to deal with situations like this since law enforcement is always dealing with CSAM, and it seems like it'd make their job easier.
Plus with the flurry of hugely privacy-invading or anti-encryption legislation that shows up every few months under the guise of "protecting the children online", it seems like that should be a top priority for them, right?! Right...?
Anyone from Germany care to comment on why this is? Y'all seem to have such a large presence on here compared to others
I will probably get downvoted for saying it, but this post and the response here reminds me a lot of things you'd see on r/conservative in that people take an isolated hateful incident and extrapolate to say that this is the start of a civil war and we need to mount an equally forceful response. Yes this is a tragedy, unhinged, and terroristic behavior, but, as someone from a deeply red state who has some ultra-conservative family, 0 of them are even remotely close to wanting to fight and die over pride flags.
I only say this because the sentiment that "there is no other way out of this but civil war" is not anywhere close to true, in my mind, and only serves to stop coherent discussion.
Not sure why this got downvoted. Things "just working" have a lot of upsides too: saving time, better accessibility, etc.
The same Patrick Moore who thinks that it's okay to drink weed killer? Leaving aside his insane stances on climate change, the guy is obviously a crackpot and it's wild that he is taken seriously by anyone.
Comment history is looking like they are serious lol
TL;DR: She's a former employee that recently came out to detail her abusive time working for LMG filled with sexism, harassment, and working her to the point that she injured herself just to be able to take a day off work
They aren’t removing content for a legit reason
They aren't actually removing content at all. They're just adding a 5 second delay to websites they don't like. I still think it would be an uphill battle to try to prove that this causes "substantial injury to consumers" or that it "cannot reasonably be avoided by consumers" since they could still go to the website on their own.
I don't really think the "promises free speech" argument would fly either because that would open the door to sue over anyone moderating anything at all, leaving aside that the term "free speech" as it was used by Musk is subjective and was never defined by the platform. There was even a time where they just outright disallowed posting any link to other competitors and that was never challenged in court. The statutes do have catch-alls but that doesn't mean there is no standard by which you have to measure up against to prove that it fits one of those categories.
Bad faith? Yes. Illegal? It's definitely not clear cut, and it seems like the answer is probably not.
Has anything remotely like this ever been litigated before? All I can find is that Unfair Trade Practice usually deals with "misrepresentation, false advertising or representation of a good or service, tied selling, false free prize or gift offers, deceptive pricing, and noncompliance with manufacturing standards," none of which cover throttling access to other sites from your own. I agree that this is shitty and everyone should get off Twitter, but to say it's illegal seems like a bit of a stretch.
Anything in particular help you shift away from that?
