It is shocking that someone would only read the last line of a fairly long note with image, and agree with it by saying good.
Very.
Why in God's name would you comment on something you haven't read?
Jesus Christ. This place is madness today between this nonsense and the BTCclock
There is not tangled or corrupted about it.
You are a statist. That's fine, you are entitled to your beliefs. But don't call yourself anything but. You want the government to silence people you don't like. In your case it is incredibly disgusting as you apparently want to silence pharma and use the government to put the media out of business.
I believe it's disgusting, tyrannical, and you are no better than progressives who want to ban hate speech.
On your silly example, how do you define 'pedo'? What does that even mean for ad space? A dating app? A lewd commercial? Soliciting sex? Someone buying an ad saying they want to have sex with a 10 year old?
This would likely be covered as obscene material as define by the supreme Court in multiple cases now, vs free speech rights and possibly a crime in the state. States may very make such rules, as granted in the 10th amendment. Limits? Sure, but very lenient.
What about a 16 year old? That's legal consent in the majority of the states. In my state it's 18.
Hence why your example doesn't work at the federal level, and they have no such authority anyways.
Plus, no reasonable media company big or small would take such an ad and become party to a potential crime. Certainly not a mainstream one.
I agree with your list. However I don't agree in having an FDA at all. I don't believe the federal government has the authority to regulate drug makers, big pharma, etc... They were never granted that authority in the constitution.
If people want to amend the constitution to include that, then sure, I'm game. But as of 2024, they are not authorized to do so.
You said good to marty saying big pharma shouldn't be allowed to advertise.
Therefore you agree, correct?
Perfect for small rooms....
I quit in January, so things may be different now
I believe big tobacco should be able to advertise.
That doesn't mean they can commit fraud however.
But movie product placement, ads, ads with smokers being cool and hip, etc... should absolutely be allowed.
Info him less than a 5% chance of being confirmed.
The Dems think he is a conspiracy theorist nut job, and the old school GOP as aren't going to confirm a democrat named Kennedy.
So that leaves only the maga faithful. Less than half the GOP Senate currently. He needs at least 50 votes for Vance to be the tie breaker.
The death of censorship? What does that mean?
There is an insane amount of censorship on X.
Totally, people should just be able to steal all your design and hard work when you don't want them to.
Eh, Comrad?
Please explain. How is it good to violate the constitution, and a private company's right to market it products?
I am absolutely blown away that there are people on NOSTR who are now advocating for government to silence people who they don't like.
This shit is madness.
I don't want any tax dollars going to pharma, or any industry at all, period. Advertising or not. But do you really believe that if advertising was banned unconstitutionally like Marty is advocating for that they would stop getting public money??? Haha, yeah right.
Now you are completely straying from the topic of speech and advertising. I am not interested in debating the above, this is a post about freedom of ANY business to advertise. Nothing more, nothing less
Have a great day.
What about it?
They can't lie to you, thats fraud. Malpractice law exists. If that's what you mean?
But elsewhere in life, stores get a kick back to sell Pepsi up front, or bud light near the isle, etc...
Bartenders and waiters get told to push things, etc .
I don't have a problem with that in the slightest
However in most all cases, drug makers have the initial patent, there aren't multiple d rugs of the same type being offered at the same time.
The question isn't about money, but medicine. If there was 2 drugs, both similar and recommended by the doctor, but one gave the doc a kickback, so be it.
You either trust your doctor or you don't. He either prescribed something to fix the ailment or not. Getting a kickback doesn't change the equation.
Literally nobody should be advocating against big pharma being allowed to advertise. It is absolutely their money, and they have the freedom of speech, association, and right to contract without government interference.
You can hate their products or whatever, fine. But do not join the socialist and communists on infringing ones rights.
Bad take Marty, bad take!
Not necessarily. Most hospitals will now delete your data after 7 years, so if you want to go back and get your own data, it’s gone. There are also many countries that have not yet moved to electronic records, where our approach can be a more sovereign way of owning your health data, instead of relying on centralized servers… nostr:npub1dmnzphvk097ahcpecwfeml08xw8sg2cj4vux55m5xalqtzz9t78q6k3kv6 is doing this in El Salvador for example…
This is part of our discovery and understanding who wants to have their own record of their health…
Interesting. I don't often or ever go to doctors, so I don't have medical data I guess, so I'm clueless as to current systems and the pros and cons.
Coinkite Inc. is the developer of the "BLOCKCLOCK," a product featuring seven electronic ink digits that provide customizable cryptocurrency and blockchain information, including cryptocurrency price, volumes, exchange rates, current coin supply, block height, and Merkle root. Coinkite Inc owns the trademark "BLOCKCLOCK" (Registration No. 7237159) in Class 9 in the United States.
The infringer BTCLOCK identifies its product as "BTCLOCK". It is defined as “a block with electronic ink displays, which can show stuff related to Bitcoin”. The use of "BTCLOCK" has strong similarities, both in name and functionality, with Coinkite’s registered trademark "BLOCKCLOCK", as follows:
1) Phonetic similarity: "BTCLOCK" and "BLOCKCLOCK" sound very similar. Both emphasize the term "CLOCK," with "BT" and "Block" being the only differences. The phonetic similarity can cause confusion, leading consumers to mistakenly believe the two products are related or come from the same business origin.
2) Visual similarity: The appearance of "BTCLOCK" and "BLOCKCLOCK" is also quite similar. "BT" and "Block" both consist of short prefixes followed by "Clock", which could easily cause confusion at first glance. In addition, the use of seven screens with electronic ink to display Bitcoin information gives the same impression in the users. The word BTCLOCK is displayed in the same exact position that it is in the BLOCKCLOCK.
3) Same functionality: Both products are aimed at a similar audience - people interested in cryptocurrency, specifically Bitcoin. Since both products appear to perform a similar function (displaying cryptocurrency prices), there is a high likelihood of confusion. Consumers might believe the two products are from the Coinkite, which is not accurate.
4) Risk of confusion: Since both devices seem to have similar functionality (displaying Bitcoin prices), this increases the chances that consumers could be confused about their origin. They may think "BTCLOCK" is a version or a rebranding of Coinkite's "BLOCKCLOCK." If "BTCLOCK" becomes associated with a different company or quality, it could dilute the distinctiveness of Coinkite's "BLOCKCLOCK".
The use of "BTCLOCK" in GitHub could be infringing Coinkite’s trademark rights.
What would be the best solution for the alleged infringement? Are there specific changes the user can make other than removal? (e.g., transfer of trademarked username to an existing company account, removal of trademarked logo or references to company)
(1) Cease and desist the use of the words BTCLOCK, BLOCKCLOCK or similar words in the following websites: https://github.com/btclock; https://btclock.github.io/web-flasher/
(2) Remove any pictures, documents, links with the words BTCLOCK, BLOCKCLOCK or similar words from the following websites: https://github.com/btclock; https://btclock.github.io/web-flasher/
(3) Suspend and/or terminate the infringer's account BTClock.
That thing is the biggest ripoff I've ever seen. They essentially did the physical version of forked it.
Not even close. We all do.
I'm just not sure at 58 he's got it left in him.
