EFF launching campaign against content policing by ISPs

[Polarity]

I like it how they go extremely far out of the way, taking a detour through the Grand Canyon, to avoid mentioning the Kiwifarms & Cloudflare consent accident problem.

Better than nothing I suppose, but a half-measure at best.

Josh how does kiwifarms.net become a signatory at the bottom of https://protectthestack.org/?

This is nice to see tbh. However it goes I do like to see people seeing through the bullshit that is going on

I'm intrigued but not really hopeful, all it takes is one loud tranny to bring their house of cards down.
Until we can join the bankers' roblox servers, drag them to the streets and force them to impartially do their job under the threat of being banned from roblox life, nothing will change.

Sounds a bit lenient.

As for that quote about cutting down laws being scary and bad: we've already cut down many of the laws that protect us from the devil and many laws put in their place are the devil's own.

Very promising.

 

[Hitman One]

Based EFF. Fuck trannies and fuck all the cowards who bent the knee to Lucas Roberts and consent accident enjoyer Elliot Jones.

a reminder that the EFF cares more about software freedom more than the FSF will ever care in their life.

"if you want to give money to an organization that does good - give it to the EFF. The FSF is full of crazy bigoted people"

Terminally online trannies on (even more) suicide watch

IE: We'll watch them commit suicide.

 

[George Lucas]

Does the EFF have any teeth anymore? Last I heard from them they got outplayed during the browser wars and now we all have DRM on our browsers.

Looks promising, but I'm a bit worried about the "rare exceptions" part.
The first thing that comes to my mind, of course, is child pornography and terrorism: nuking pedo and terrorist havens is always a good thing.

But my question is: how much the definition of "rare exceptions" can be stretched? One could say that, based on the examples above, the exceptions are when "things done online actually hurt people in real life", but don't forget that there are people out there who claim that dissenting opinions can lead people to suicide, and I'm sure that there are some thin-skinned, mentally ill people out there who have actually anhero'd because on online criticism.
What I'm trying to say is that we're venturing in a mined territory. Let's hope they come up with a bullet-proof definition of "rare exceptions" (but I'm not very optimistic about that - legally speaking, no definition is bullet-proof when there are enough people/enough money against it).

Sure, if you only read half of the first sentence of the pre-amble, it looks pretty bad, but if you just take your time to read a few words after that comma, you'll see why you're a fucking retard.

A following sentence does read "Subject to rare exceptions, governments should not require such interventions and infrastructure companies should not intervene voluntarily.", however. The fact they still entertain that there are "Rare Exceptions" (Which are seemingly not made explicit) is concerning, regardless of whether the gist of the paragraph is that "Kiwifarms shouldnt be deplatformed."

I might also argue that the qualifier "Voluntarily" is also an issue, in the nebulous sense that it invites legal regulation. I will admit this part of my analysis is being rather uncharitable though.

I confused this group with those commies in South Africa who want to murder all the white people when I first saw the name.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

The "little people" having an unfiltered voice is opposed to tyranny.

A refreshing breath of sanity in clown world.

You know it's a Clown World when supporting free speech is called "fascist" or "Nazi" or other such soy BS.

Sorry for double post, but I have a little clarification about the supposed hatred for trannies here on Kiwifarms.
I haven't read all the threads in the Stinkditch section, but considering what I read, I think that the "KF hates trans people!" statement is completely wrong.
I haven't seen the farms go after a "normal" (if we could say so) tranny: for normal, I mean a person who decides to transition and go on with his life. I still think that a person who cuts his dick off is mentally ill, but if their mental illness ends there, there's no problem for me: they can do what they want with their bodies.

When I see the farms opening a thread about a tranny, his tranny-dom is never the main point. The person deserves a thread because:
- is grooming minors;
- attempts to make minors transition behind their parents' backs;
- is a grifter who abuses GoFundMe to suck off people's money;
- is attempting to silence dissent and reasonable discussion about transgenderism;
- rapes or attempts to rape people;
- invades women's online spaces and demands to be accepted without discussion;
- involves himself in autistic internet drama with youtubers, bloggers, real life celebrities, etc.;
Considering all of this, it looks like that their tranny-dom is only a crazy addition to a list of far worse actions that the person has made.
If a person who does all of the above wasn't a tranny, but a cis-hetero man, wouldn't he have a thread on here? I think he would.

That's why the whole "KF hates trans people!" narrative falls apart.

The Internet Is Not Facebook: Why Infrastructure Providers Should Stay Out of Content Policing

Cloudflare’s recent headline-making decision to refuse its services to KiwiFarms—a site notorious for allowing its users to wage harassment campaigns against trans people—is likely to lead to more calls for infrastructure companies to police online speech. Although EFF would shed no tears at the...

A site notorious for allowing it's users to wage harassment campaigns against trans people

Why are you letting that stand? That's pure misrepresentation. It's literally the other way around: we're here, minding our own business and saying what we want and they're shitting on  our carpet.

We have openly posted rules against that.

The Poor Kiwifarms is once more Voldemort. Implied but never mentioned.

We know that, they know that, but the narrative of "Kiwifarms goes after people JUST because they're trans!!" is an effective bludgeon. Nobody actually believes it to be true, apart from the niggercattle who get their information from Tranny idealogues and journoscum.

Always good to see some positive news in Clown World.

Sir Thomas Moore is a good example of a man who, even though he lost his life standing for truth and justice, history has now honored and remembered for six hundred years for his integrity.

Take heed all you vicious authoritarians and censors who want to destroy people that disagree with you yet still believe you stand “on the right side of history.”
