Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Poland bans “trash streams” with prison sentences for streamers who profit from violence & humiliationEnglish
21·25 days agoI meant the first case that came to my mind, it’s of course possible there were some before, I simply didn’t know about them.

6·25 days agoI don’t know whether the law is written broadly enough to do that.
There are of course free speech concerns here, but if the law only targets cases where violence or other criminal activity was engaged in specifically to film it, even I don’t see that this contradicts my broad understanding of free speech rights.

19·25 days agoIt isn’t, the first case I thought of happened in France, it’s linked in the last paragraph of the article.

4·1 month agoOK, thanks; how do I enable this myself in the communities where I’m a moderator? I don’t see that option.

California@lemmy.world•Landmark California bill to ban social media for teens under 16 passes crucial hurdle
1·2 months agoI am certainly convinced that TV, being purely passive, is more likely to have negative effects on cognition than online communities, which are something you can actively engage in and be creative.

California@lemmy.world•Landmark California bill to ban social media for teens under 16 passes crucial hurdle
4·2 months agoCorrection: you can do that. You shouldn’t because it’s beneficial for young people to have social contacts and belong to positive communities, which is very much enabled by social media!

5·2 months agoAlso the claim is that the reason this particular child is “stressed out” is:
He said girls especially are barraged with unrealistic and sometimes AI-generated images of women’s bodies at a time when they’re feeling especially self-conscious about their own bodies.
Now I was never a girl nor especially conscious about my body, I am a male nerd who quickly learned in school not to care what others thought of me too much…
But I remember around 15 to 20 years ago reading similar claims about youth magazines and advertisements, that they were promoting unhealthy and unrealistic ideas of an ideal body image. So the beauty and fashion industries or whoever didn’t need computers to do those things.
In both cases, “promoting an unhealthy body image” is literally just free speech which in the US enjoys broad constitutional protection. So the government has no business doing anything against it.

Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Canada will soon be a slightly less corrupt countryEnglish
24·7 months agoThere are lobbyists for non-profits (that you can donate to if you agree with their goals) too.

Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Canada will soon be a slightly less corrupt countryEnglish
611·7 months agoNot really.
Lawmakers in a democracy can’t possibly be experts on all the fields they make laws about. Without any lobbyists at all, they wouldn’t know what kinds of laws any organizations (whether for-profit or not) would like to see passed. This would likely cause worse laws to be passed.
Ultimately lobbying is just (parts of) the population attempting to influence what happens in politics, which is what is supposed to happen in a democracy.
In some cases what you say may be true, but not in all.

Uplifting News@lemmy.world•EU "Chat Control" Twist: Commissioner Sides with Parliament Over Governments – Boost for European Parlament’s Strong MandateEnglish
7·8 months agoThe uplifting news is that even someone in the European commission (unexpectedly) prefers the less privacy-invasive version the parliament wants, not the one the council wants.

Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Peanut Allergies Have Plummeted in Children, Study ShowsEnglish
3·9 months agoThat is interesting. I have wondered before why I regularly heard and read about peanut allergies in US media and US Internet forums when I’ve never actually encountered anyone with one here (in central Europe). This answers that question…

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some good algorithm free alternatives to YouTube?
616·1 year agoI suspect OP wanted to know about a video platform where they were not getting any automated recommendations that they hadn’t chosen to follow… my point is, chronological sorting is still an “algorithm”.












I would not do that without first looking into applicable laws regarding legal liability for content and requirements to remove things. Depending on where in the world you are, this can be a minefield.
