Bei den meisten Online-Shops (zumindest nach meiner Erfahrung) muss und kann man doch gar keinen Benutzernamen angeben, sondern loggt sich mit der E-Mail-Adresse ein? Ich verstehe das Problem nicht ganz. Bei Amazon ist das jedenfalls so.

I've recently said this in another thread, and I'll repeat it here: this problem would easily be solved by changing content liability laws (e.g. section 230 in the US) so that anything recommended by an algorithm counts as speech by the platform and the platform is liable for it if it turns out to be illegal (e.g. libellous).

That would mean that you could operate a forum or wiki or Lemmy or Mastodon instance without worrying about liability, but Facebook, YouTube, TikTok would have to get rid of the feature where they put "things that might interest you" that you didn't actually choose to follow into your feed.

None of that has anything to do with anyone's age.

If headlines were honest: France seeks to prohibit early teenagers from social interaction with peers unless they are good at doing it offline.

If I hadn't had the Internet in the years before my 15th birthday, this would in my retrospective opinion have amounted to near torture.

Can we finally get politicians who grew up with the Internet into power? How many more years must people the age of Macron be allowed to make these kinds of decisions? 😟😡

I wonder if that was intentional, to post this at a time when there are different years in different parts of the world. :D

Why would things from 12 years ago not be nostalgic?!

The problem with that is: https://www.techdirt.com/2019/11/20/masnicks-impossibility-theorem-content-moderation-scale-is-impossible-to-do-well/

My own idea, don't make it depend on platform size.

Make it depend on the existence of recommendation algorithms: anything recommended by an algorithm counts as speech by the platform.

If that were the law, any forum or wiki no matter who operates it isn't liable, but Facebook or TikTok would need to quickly turn off all options except "show me chronologically what the accounts I explicitly followed posted" (of course "most liked in the last 12 hours" or similar would also still be ok, but "this too might interest you based on your previous activity" wouldn't). That would also turn them into actually useful communication systems.

One could say the map simply counted transcontinental countries as where the majority of the population lives, but French Guiana isn't colored like Europe.

Also interesting that the southern border of Mexico is apparently the border between North and South America.

Philosophically it is certainly interesting it didn't capitalize "god", suggesting it might be polytheist.

Maybe we should all register as a corporate entity and we’d get more protections and rights.

You're not the first person to have that idea though; look up "sovereign citizens". :P

This wasn't too hard to figure out: that user is (for whatever reason) banned from lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/u/yogthos@lemmy.ml
