We can’t “fix” journalism or Big Tech by weakening important free press principles or opening the door to the regulation of journalism, says EFF’s @davidgreene in last year's keynote for @CIMLAPS on Media Law and Policy in the Digital Age. eff.org/deeplinks/2021/01/new-

mastodon.host isn't back up yet, but it's the Mastodon error page instead of a generic "404" now, which is... something, I guess

Twitter's "Project Blue Sky" promises an interoperable, decentralized, protocol-based future. Yes please!

Linktree ( linktr.ee/ ) is a site that lets people create a single Web page with links to all of their online accounts. The fact that this exists as a commercial service annoys me greatly. Should something as basic as a single-page site with a bunch of links really be outsourced to an outside service?

Some people on Twitter seem to be reacting to [@]EFF's post with this quote from David Greene from an interview on KQED without hearing/reading his full remarks: "My free speech heart doesn't bleed a ton for perhaps the most powerful person in the world having a more difficult time speaking to people" kqed.org/news/11855408/social-

Private companies can exclude who they want. But the closer you get to the Internet's core infrastructure, the more troubling those exclusions become. eff.org/deeplinks/2021/01/beyo

US politics 

With the situation at the Capitol I'm already seeing people drawing comparisons to Black Lives Matter protests, and frankly I don't see the point. Are we trying to figure out which side has perpetrated more violence? Does it matter? Virtually all political affiliations are fuzzy and prone to exceptions. I've long suspected that any generalizations about such fuzzy groups serve no purpose.

@bonifartius On the other hand, large institutions like EMA (in Europe) aren't just going to approve something out of the blue. Of course they've checked and rechecked before they'll approve anything.

We, the people not in the medical field, have to trust those large bodies to do the research for us. Chances are more than likely that the medicine is less deadly than the actual virus itself.

Can something go wrong with this and end up harming us? Absolutely. It could.

The difference is, the virus will certainly try and is already here to do just that.

Going to *try* to maintain a list of dead Fediverse instances here: https://fediverse.rip/

There are a ton of them. If you know of a few batch them up in a message to me and I'll add them. If you have the approximate date they died supply that too. If not, I'll try to find the date. :rip:
