The hearing isn't scheduled yet. I think that means April at the soonest, but I don't know how the system works.

Anyway, you will hear about it. It will be big enough news.

But the judgment will certainly have more far-reaching, bad consequences. In a few months, the German BGH will decide a case (VI ZR 64/24) against Meta, which hinges on this.

I'm surprised that the sexual defamation angle does not get more notice (defamation per se in the US?). That always gets people in the mood for overreach.

From that angle: Detect NSFW content. Have IDs on file. Put it behind a login wall.

The DPAs of 2 German states explicitly interpret this as being about hosting providers. I don't think it's true that Europeans interpret this more narrowly.

Das wurde nach Aufschrei und Klagen gelöscht.

Dieses System müsste dann wieder aufgebaut werden, aber flächendeckend für alle Plattformen. Nur eben so, dass kein öffentlicher Zugriff besteht.

Das geht irgendwie nicht zusammen mit Beschwerden über mächtige Techkonzerne und Überwachung ...

Ich weiß nicht, ob das durchdacht ist.

Um kerngleiche Bilder zu finden, muss die Plattform alle Bilder auswerten, wer abgebildet ist und was die Person tut.

Vor ~10 Jahren hatte Facebook ein Auto-Tagging Feature, das Personen automatisch erkannt und getaggt hat.

Interesting. I wouldn't have thought so.

Computers have very precise clocks but getting timing right can be tricky. They do several things at once and do whatever when they get to it. That has to be taken into account.

I guess the Google peeps figured that split-second precision didn't matter.

YSK It's not actually brewed in Fucking and from what I hear not a proper Helles either. Curiously, that was not why there were problems getting the trademark registered.

I googled "online metronome" just to make sure that it is what it sounds like. It does sound like tickticktick and is a metronome.

When you google it, google gives you a built-in one.

So much to unpack.

I think this is broadly similar to US law on vexatious litigation. Or clauses being void for being against public policy.

Of course, German law against vexatious or unfair practices is much broader and detailed than just "Rechtsmissbrauch".

There must be a lot of comparative law papers on this.

Germany forbids something called "Rechtsmissbrauch" (abuse of law/rights). That is using (contractual, procedural, ...) rights to harm others rather than the intended purposes. EG filing frivolous lawsuits for harassment.

Is this something similar, perhaps?

Hmm. I think German Lawyers would see it the other way around and point to the "Legalitätsprinzip". They are the sticklers, while Common Law is all about muddling through.

I'll link this story.

I'm really shocked how many unhinged narcissists there are out there. And how happily they will work together. I've never encountered this before. With global warming, no one says that they'd rather see people die than take the bus. I thought it was a social issue that we behave that way

So those are eyes, then. It reminds me off classical Ephesus.

Yeah, ok. But it doesn't work. Not a single Lorenz in the replies.

That reminds me of the concept of "functional fixedness" in psychology. Maybe you're on to something.

It's specifically used coffee grounds that have settled on the bottom of a vessel. A theorem is settled, too.

"Satz" is from the verb "setzen", meaning "to sit, set, settle, ..."
