Really you made me watch it & that scene was fun but the rest is really badly written - only do much shots of THs rear can redeem...

Yes. Was not going to go there but presumably presumption legislation is in accordance w ECHR?

Amusing also if this turned out to be a general monitoring case when we didn't implement that bit & then left EU!

Yup. Which would make life difficult vis a vis X.. do you get the vibe they never expected to actually use blocking orders in OSA?

The best bit of this is that Trump is almost certainly deluded by the Mercator projection.

Yeah I'd been wondering that about Trump and map projections too.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Yeh exactly ( re copyright block orders)

lilianedwards.bsky.social
Lilian Edwards @lilianedwards.bsky.social · 1d
I'm not sure anymore! Was there not a discussion about Clean feed as it was then being used to block whole filesharing sites during the P2P wars? Because ISPs didn't want to pay to block?

lilianedwards.bsky.social
Lilian Edwards @lilianedwards.bsky.social · 1d
Would be much more useful than pretending to try to block X 🤣

www.theverge.com/policy/85990... actually a good point I am so desensitised I hadn't thought of - why can you still get X from the app stores? ( Rhetorical of course)

We used to talk about this back in the P2P days as the dangers of loss of friction, perfect enforcement - back with Lessig/ Zittrain

Do you know how the court would suggest such an order be implemented as that needs the goodwill of ISPs? Would it piggyback IWF blocklist which has it's own issues? Also OSA says it's last resort after trying to stop advertisers) payments - which will have zero effect on X..

I can't say I'm surprised. There is one receptionist at my GP practice who is the only person sufficiently not worn down to treat patients like humans not machines. As token thanks I took her a nice bottle of wine at Xmas and she was Heartbreakingly pleased 🥺
