As long as it’s primary season and we’re workshopping far right brain farts … free guns for all kindergartners? Make dogs wear pants? NBA but for white people? Grammy category for songs about how things used to be better?
Repugnantcants need it easier to dox harras and threaten people they dissagree with while claiming its the OTHER group ruining everything.
Oh fuck off, would ya?
LOL
The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.
GOP Free …dom?
Ah yes, more of that American freedom I hear so much about as an American.
How exactly does she believe they’re going to accomplish this? Serious question cause it doesn’t seem possible from where I’m sitting, anonymously.
It’s not. She’s just stupid.
You would go after the platforms. Make it more expensive to resist than to cooperate, and the big ones will roll over… you might even add in a carrot by giving them some legal protections or promises of data purchasing contracts
From there you make examples of smaller sites that start to gain traction, and developers will get scared to do otherwise
I don’t think it could happen now, but it’s certainly achievable. Especially since large platforms like the idea - it makes their data much more valuable and gives them more control.
After a couple years of getting the public ready for the idea? It’s entirely possible unfortunately
There are people who will defend this
She doesn’t have enough support for anybody to defend it.
There was a petition for the UK Parliament to implement what this politician wants by requiring verification for accounts (Piers Morgan was endorsing it iirc), and I believe a petition to not implement it under the pretense of it harming transgender individuals (e.g. deadnaming, having to come out to a stranger for verification).
Parliament did respond saying such legislation would stifle the freedom of expression, which is true, but it doesn’t matter when the UK has other legislation doing the same thing.
Ok as a trans person yeah we were my first thought, but my immediate second was abuse victims. Making cyberstalking easier will get people hurt, though from what I’ve seen of the far right, for some of them that’s the point.
The same people who say they have nothing to hide.
Don’t anybody tell her that the Fediverse exists. It might break her brain.
Can’t touch this 😎
But she’s fine with continuing the anonymous donations to all the PACs that fund her.
But that’s different you see. Because money is speech and therefore needs to be protected, including by allowing total anonymity of donors. Whereas we’re talking about online accounts, where people of course never engage in speech or express ideas. Hey, wait a second that can’t be right. Hmmm, okay maybe it’s because she’s saying it’s a security risk, because you don’t know if they’re a foreign national spreading propaganda online. This is totally different from political donations, which of course have never been bribes from foreign powers masked by anonymity… Hey wait! She got us again. Almost like she’s some kind of shill who wipes her butt with the constitution while trying to create a crony supported facist state. No that can’t be.
But yeah, according to Republicans, money is speech, but speech is not speech. I’m expecting their next campaign platform to be 2+2=5.
How could speech be speech? Money is speech.
I agree with Nimarata Hailey, everyone should use their real names in social media and everywhere
I would love to see how the Trump base would try to pronounce her real name.
Ohhh the irony
Hey, you never know, maybe their real name is Meridian Longitude. I’ve never heard of Longitude as a last name but I wouldn’t put it past some parents to name their kid Meridian.
lol that was sarcasm. I’m not putting my real name on lemmy but I do think it’s funny she doesn’t use her real name either because her maga supporters would go nuts
I looked it up, and it’s actually spelled Nimrata. Which is funny, because it sounds like it would be a romantic language’s feminine form of nimrod.
That could be close to the actual etymology. I believe “Nimrod” is the name of a person in the Bible.
Nimrod is a biblical figure mentioned in the Book of Genesis and Books of Chronicles. The son of Cush and therefore a great-grandson of Noah, Nimrod was described as a king in the land of Shinar. The Bible states that he was “a mighty hunter before the Lord [and]… began to be mighty in the earth”.
Some funny trivia with “might hunter”: Bugs Bunny called Elmer Fudd nimrod, saying something like “nice shot, nimrod!” – the insult was that Elmer was a bad hunter. But the obscure reference was lost on most people, much less a child audience (myself included), and so nimrod became a generic insult akin to “idiot” or "imbecile.
Maybe I’ve been playing too much Dwarf Fortress lately, but that quote reads so much like something you’d read in Legends mode lol
Show us your Pornhub account, Nikki
She’s not attractive enough for that
I think they mean show us what she’s watched. I agree that no one wants to see her naked except as a humiliation fetish thing.
Meh, wouldn’t be my most challenging fap
Oh god
Oh, hey Satan lmao
all this just to find the person with a Vegeta avatar that clowned on them on Twitter or whatever
What a weak nation. Even internet trolls are security threat to it.
