Hello, hello, yes, it's God here. How are you doing, Olives?
Nothing like having God call you. Yup, beginning to remember how chaotic this was. #anime #noucome
@Etheria@mastodon.social what sort of anime do you like?

Yes, there are several clear issues here.
1) Jurisdiction for someone to be punished for any crime should only apply to things which are a crime in the country someone is currently located in, otherwise this is a huge recipe for outright abuse, disproportionality, and unjust laws.
2) For an *assistance treaty*, something should be a crime in *both countries*.
3) There should be no unjust laws or disproportionate applications.
Frankly, there were already processes prior to this proposed treaty, which raises the question as to why it exists...
4) Reasserting that no laws relating to expression should be included in here (for this particular treaty). That is a recipe for abuse.
I already have a bit of a distaste for another treaty, as it doesn't stop states from implementing language which doesn't conform with the freedom of expression in their own national laws.
Please don't make the problem worse.
In other words, I have the same position as during the negotiation stage.
5) Due process. Always due process.
@lydiaconwell The instance probably synced up that account because you followed it.

Read why "Web Environment Integrity" is terrible, and why we must vocally oppose it now. Google's latest maneuver, if we don't act now to stop it, threatens our freedom to explore the Internet with browsers of our choice: https://u.fsf.org/40a #EndDRM #Enshittification #Google #WebStandards #DefectiveByDesign
Apparently, if you skip past the ... in the home feed, and change your mind to go to the ... (which is now missing), then the missing middle posts won't appear, even if you refresh.

Did you know that the FSF has a PeerTube account? #PeerTube is a decentralized, federated video platform powered by ActivityPub and WebTorrent, and you'll find us on the Framatube instance: https://u.fsf.org/36m

Started reading Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka. The comedy is totally to my taste, and there are tons of bunnies!
Anyway, this is also my #AnimangaFoundIt submission for this week. Here's a close up of a cup of latte!

Quite a few reincarnated as an object gimmick anime. Well, if people like watching it, then that's fine.

When we're as surrounded by streaming platforms as we are now, it's easy to forget that the DRM-free life still exists. Even now, there are dozens of record labels, publishers, and online retailers that refuse to abuse their customers. Learn about them in the Guide: https://u.fsf.org/1lr #EndDRM #DRM
@awilbert It's not. It's really not.
It's another guy dropping down a "solution" from mid-air without any idea as to the problem space and a very shallow view of content moderation.
"harmful" is pretty vague.
Notice how there is no human rights calculation at all here. No principles of necessity or proportionality.
It is also likely to hit about as many friends as enemies. Perhaps, someone hosts taboo art, but isn't keen on harassment or hate.
It's also not realistic to just block every giant instance which might contain something offensive and that isn't a useful road to embark on.
I could go further about this. I don't want to take up too much space though.
This place is pretty complicated and it's annoying when someone comes up with "one simple fix".
Reading through these cases of civil rights violations in the U.S., it's annoying how "the smell of cannabis" (something which shouldn't even be illegal) or something to do with... the tail pipe, was that it? (this isn't good but it's a minor thing) are often used as excuses for an invasive search.
