There’s no solution or implementation, and the law in place actually forbids social media from requiring ID as the means of age verification. But who knows what it’ll end up actually looking like, because even the politicians didn’t bother figuring that out before passing the law in under a week.

enforcement is up to the ag, so yea. they could just ‘ignore’ the law.

In practice, there’s no real mechanism to force it (especially if Congress is unwilling to impeach & convict). But legally speaking, the Take Care clause of the constitution obligates the President (through his executive) to enforce all laws passed by Congress. Ignoring it would be unconstitutional.

No one is enforcing it, it’s a play by TikTok. TikTok did it voluntarily

Yup. In fact, Biden had specifically said he will not enforce the ban.

Which, incidentally…might be the same thing Trump does to “unban TikTok” once he takes office. Which is bizarre, on both sides. Like…that’s literally not legal for a president to do. They can’t legally just ignore an Act of Congress.

Not that the law matters in America anymore. The Supreme Court has pretty definitively seen to that.

They don’t have a warrant canary and their excuse why not only applies to Swiss citizens

What is their excuse? I haven’t heard it.

Interesting in theory, so thanks for sharing. But in practice, not going to matter. It would require a third party to win in at least one state before the EC can fail to reach a majority.

Edit: actually on second thought, I suppose a tie is also possible without a third party winning. But still, a tiny edge case, really.

Reposting some links from a thread two days ago about his response on Reddit.

I thought this comment (and the thread below it…and the lack of any reply to it despite the CEO being all over the thread elsewhere) was pretty telling.

It’s much less of a strong tell, but is slightly concerning that he’s picked up language like “triggered”. As comments there say, his excuse of not being in-tune with American politics could be real, but are also possibly just plausible deniability, because he may have picked up on that language by hanging out online with fascists.

Gerrymandering isn’t possible with presidential races. And he won by 86 electoral college votes, including all of the states people were looking at as possible swing states. That’s why everyone is saying he won a landslide.

The fact that he won despite being a literal convicted criminal and despite having previously shown himself to be one of, if not the worst president in history, says a huge amount about Americans’ willingness to accept fascism. People are right to be troubled by this.

Sounds like dude’s just incredibly salty about this video.

or whatever else has 100 pennies in

Well it’d be 8 shillings, 4 pence, in pre-decimal British currency.

And changing priorities and scope.

Not funny, a deliberate decision by the legislature in order to safeguard it from whoever was going to win the election (since it was set before the election).

It’s actually a /8. 127.x.x.x

Facebook should not be making content moderation decisions based on machine translations. They should be paying actual humans who can both speak the language and understand the cultural context of the posts. Yes, that’s going to cost them more. They shouldn’t be allowed to operate if they don’t do it.

Calling women property and transgender people mentally ill? We sleep

Post commemorating anti-genocide author who was assassinated thanks to the negligence of the country responsible for said genocide? Real shit

I hope you’re not storing time in floating point.

Title made me think of Motherload. That was great back in the day. Cool to see it get a shout out in the article.

Is Matt ok? Like, sincerely? This is not the behaviour of a healthy, stable man.

They can not use AI

Oh yeah very well could be A/B testing. We rarely get features here in Aus until it’s ready to roll out fully.

I guess spez is asking for the UHC treatment.
