this bill fixes nothing. if you wanted to prevent harm from the internet you would start with proper privacy laws. but we all know why that will never happen

I'm guessing you are thinking about things like addictive social media and the efforts to keep kids from overusing it, and the idea is if there were strong privacy laws it would be harder or impossible to implement the most addictive features of those sites?

However harms based on sites having lots of personal data on their users are only part of what many people are concerned about. There are various categories of apps and sites that are legally required to not sell to/serve children. There are also things that are not illegal but the majority of research finds is bad for young children, so apps and sites may want to keep young children out unless a parent approves. Privacy laws don't help with any of that.

And age verification prevents influencing elections, how?

This is a reach. Children can't vote. If that was a real concern you would be banning adults from social media.

We should do that. Unfortunately adults have these pesky things called freedom, and rights. We should also ban them from smoking cigarettes.

Cambridge Analytica? The addictions are from these free platforms which do so to harvest your data

> Explain how a privacy that protects you and me will somehow not protect a pedophile.

I think that it will, and that's okay. The US Bill of Rights necessarily protects criminals as well as innocents. "The optimal amount of [crime] is non-zero." (https://www.bitsaboutmoney.com/archive/optimal-amount-of-fra...)

Incredible to believe the CIA has more sway over artistic movements than actual artists.

Wealthy patronage has always steered art, and the CIA has a lot of money.

The CIA hires "actual" artists, all the time and in great numbers. They have a creative writing division.

If you watch YouTube interviews/documentaries about the CIA, one of the things that all of them point out is the disguise division, which makes some fascinating facemasks and other disguises.

More incredible to believe the most powerful clandestine agency in the world wouldn't want to hold sway over artistic movements to their own end.

And the CIA actually had rather good taste

Or they do bend public opinion on what "good taste" is

Wait til you find out what the GIA[1] did with other forms of cultural expression and education - like motion pictures, music, television, and academia

[1]: Global Intelligence Agency - because we know that they have deep reach into every nation at this point and are only accountable to themselves.

Are you referring to the way they always have to portray the American army as the heroic winners of every war?

Yes!

I'm personally excited for a better thread story (not web-workers) and JIT

interesting, are ai agents talking to each other and being certain of each others identities a problem?

My tool has a public-good relay and the ability to chat between environments, so it's important to resolve ID to operator or company

I’d be curious for a similar experiment converting frankenphp to rust.

Would be pretty incredible to see decentralized federated media individual accounts and aggregators implement the x402 payment protocol (https://x402.org) as a way for creators to get paid, and thus continue to create.

Im envisioning a spotify replacement. You could pay for your streams directly to artists or platform the artist hosts on. Allowing for a more free market of creators and consumers.

The 'Explore' part, would basically just be like Mastadon or Bluesky

the source of cc being closed, and peoples accounts being deactivated for 'openclaw'-esque misuse, i sort of assumed there were such things in the source. I wonder if there is anything else...

Raise the minimum wage to ~$25-30/hr

Before anyone says inflation, there will be more consumer spending and thus more cash flow in the middle and lower class

Sorry, growth mindset only applies to handouts for companies and billionaires. Those are the rules!

Argh, agent benchmarks are so bad and can be gamed easier than bmw emissions tests.
