100/100

Who’s giving you this shitty rate?

Also, i am 100% for max freedom so first it is company that needs to be “regulated” not the visitor. Second 2 consenting adults should be able to agree about anything so if i agree that X will shit russian propaganda into my brain then noone should be able to stop this transaction. But this must be maximally transparent. X must describe with max details what they are shitting into my brain. We all know they (Musk, Zuck, Xi, …) use the nastiest ways to grab tour attention and manipulate you. I am fine with that if they open the algos and let adults decide

Would you be ok if i sell crack to your kid? Would you just tell your kid not to buy it from me or would you rather go and “deal” with me? If later would you consider delegating that as more effective solution?

I agree with you that state should intervene least possible. Also i think they are trying to fix the problem (ef extremism, child abuse, …) with wrong tools. Typical govt incompetency. Yet I think feeds algos are actual problem then needs to be dealt with. Imagine if buy platform where kids use to flock and i start to sneak addictive hatefull shit to them just. Would you as a parent be ok with it? We can debate level of interventionism we are ok with here but we have regulations that govenrs company practices for hundreds of years

The problem is not the social media. Noone is dealing with eg 4chan. The problem is algorithmic feeds that shows you must hateful controversial content. These algos are erasing your brain that’s why they are dangerous. They are very easy to bias towards spreading propaganda. So if we agree that selling crack on street of SF to kids is not OK we should be more emphatic to trying to fix this as well.

maybe 🤷‍♂️ i just think that the same way some shows were possible only on tv (passive single option stream) some are possible only thanks to heavilly manipulative algos on paltforms like youtube. i think v4v will be different kind of content. something you actually want to see and make you feel good about the time you've spent. but likelly i am just naive

i dont think people would pay voluntarily for his videos. He is prime example of video "junkfood" that platform will trick you into watching and you hate yourself after.

Lol, look at the piece of shit Twitter is now. Musk basically make it playground for russian/chinese propaganda.

It works because states dont care. Once (if) they do there wont be proxy merchants anymore. I think circular econ is actually not that difficult to achieve. Only fiat money you need is for taxes. I think if you charge customers in bitcoin+fiat it might be a good start. Having that functionality in wallet would be awesome.

That merchant needs to pay his bills so he needs to convert to fiat. State can block that. Having said that i dont think it is likelly in western democracies but what might happen that every coin will need to be kyced. Which i consider to be full controll.

Unless there is circullar economy developed state have full controll over bitcoin. I am saying this as someone who loves bitcoin and hope we’ll get to the point when it is unstoppable. Right now it is not the case.

The his has nothing to do with socialism. Happening across the globe. This has all to do with massive russian cyberops polarizing societies via social channels.

Dont know where you are but my guess is that much further west than me. So your perimeter is obviously different. Your approch is to “pray problem away” by just ignoring all witnesses. I guess fine attitude if you live in a cave and dgaf about the world. The problem is “the world” my come for you. Participation on societal issues is important in democracy.

One more thing, the reason why most west should actually care about this war is that it might be prelude to much bigger war (as russia+china partnership suggests). Many geopolitical commentators with very sound arguments implying catastrophical consequences to global security if russia suceeds. That means even you might get drafted.

Obviously i am just a dog on internet but can tell you second hand (speaking to refugees) it is very real. Friend runnig NGO helping raped girls by russian soldiers. Bunch of ukrainian friends with families in eastern teritories. Very ugly real war my friend.
