There should be something in there about universal free education

It’s giving off some serious Pontiac Aztec vibes

The only people they care about defending are the rich and powerful. Aka, the ones that don’t ever have to worry about their health.

I’m not saying its an excuse or that we should continue to support Googles greed. But, it’s hard to convince people to change en-masse if there isn’t a viable alternative to go to.

Part of the problem is there are effectively no alternatives to YouTube. The other options are either just front-ends or completely lack enough creators to have the enormous wealth of videos and information.

Except corporations aren’t meant to make a profit, they’re meant to make the executives at the top a profit. Everything else is just a mechanism to do that.

So says Microsoft

I’m pretty sure Google will just say that whichever VPN let’s Google steal the most data is the “safest”.

Lol, ok bud

You have yet to offer any new perspective other than to say “your wrong” or “your lying”. If you can come up a convincing argument and support it, then I would be more than happy to learn something new and change my mind.

I’m not convinced you even know what intellectual property is and aren’t merely parroting the controversial opinions of random people on the internet. Here are some links that might be of use to you;

Intellectual property is a social construct, but that does not negate its reality or make it fictitious. Its the very thing that copyrights, patents, trademarks and countless laws were created to protect. And it’s an invaluable tool for people that need to protect their ideas and creations, especially artists and makers. The issue with intellectual property is that most of the laws surrounding it were created by/for corporations and rich people, and wind up fucking the rest of us over.

My understanding has always been that artworks that you create are your intellectual property that is automatically copywrited, at least in the United States. From the article it seems like that is either not true or it’s being ignored by the court.

So now artists are going to have to actually apply for copyright? What the fuck happened to intellectual property?

Censorship is fine as long as it’s controlled exclusively by parents and caregivers. As soon a government, corporation, school, or any authority gets the slightest hint of control it always results in an abuse of power and manipulation.

There is no faster way to destroy a company than to interfere with people’s porn.

This kind of stuff is there only thing I want from a cyberpunk future.

Maybe it’s not a good idea to use a media platform run by a megalomaniac moron as a primary source of news and information.

Didn’t Google already try this?

A cyberpunk future is becoming a reality, and not in any of the fun ways.
