“When education is not liberating, the dream of the opressed is to become the oppressor”

~ Paulo Freire

Yeah, sure. Totally different from having backdoors to the NSA or collecting massive amounts of personal data for targeted ads.

EDIT: You can’t trust ANY company if your concern is privacy; your data is just too profitable (for them) to sit there untouched.

I don’t think its about posting actual news, but to have something they can monetise through ads.

And a really good song

He’s a billionaire, probably thinks he pays us peasants too much for what we deliver, and would absolutely replace us for slaves if he could

If there’s a shell, there’s a way

I’d love to see PeerTube grow just like these platforms, but I think it’s a lot more complicated to get people to use it than mastodon/lemmy.

Twitter/Reddit weren’t used as a major income source like YouTube and Instagram (I am saying this based on famous people in my country, I don’t know how it goes on other places), and so are easier to replace. The people posting and discussing topics don’t do that for the money, they do because they like it.

YT and its monetization system made possible for people to make a living from the content they produce, and many wouldn’t like or simply couldn’t sacrifice this income source just to go to a more ethical and private platform like PeerTube.

Yeah, it doesn’t add up. Why would one go to the restricted access distributor if they can get a lot more by pirating?

Why can’t we have nice things? These people are literally just archiving and preserving old media, and if I recall correctly, they have strict rules of sharing these archived media.

I kinda understand why they got sued by Wiley/HarperCollins due to breaking the rules of sharing unlimited copies of archived books, but this time it doesn’t look like it.

Honestly, I hope Internet Archive survives all these lawsuits they’re dealing with

Genuine question: what’s the real problem? As a non-american, I can’t get it.

I mean, it’s not like they’re smuggling these chips to China, but doing a legitimate acquisition. Don’t want them to get access to U.S. tech? Simply don’t sell it to any other country that buys/sells to China, since they could trade or resell those chips to them. Also, AFAIK most international trades are done using U.S. dollars, so limiting U.S. companies from trading won’t solve the problem.

Well, I guess we’ll have to follow Norway’s steps if we want to get somewhere. But yeah, I highly doubt anything beyond asking big tech to behave will be done
