Alright, trying an ELI5 here.
Big internet platforms like YouTube, Instagram etc. will get new rules in the EU
I've got a bad feeling about this.
I suspect they just can’t be willfully negligent. Right now Facebook could actively promote a genocide and not see any consequences.
Rohingya says what
Yup. I was up for it until that point. That bullet is a terrible idea.
Eh, there's more nuance to it than implied in the TLDR
You should, this is really bad. These laws are all so backwards. That's like suing the postal service because of people putting illegal stuff in the mail. Or phone companies for streaming copyrighted material because a song was playing in the background.
Looking forward to seeing ads for bras... :)
Just kidding. I don't see ads anyway.
You'll never get the support you need with that attitude!
So I can block all the "this changes everything", "incredible thing you did not know", "mind blowing details about game x" videos from youtube? When I load Youtube I always scroll down on the main page and click don't recommend this channel on all videos that have titles like that or thumbnails with arrows, red circles or other crap thumbnails. Don't care what channel it is.
You can try the Dearrow extension, which uses a random or community-suggested frame from the video as the thumbnail. Made by the same person who made SponsorBlock. It can also use community-suggested titles for videos as well.
Great idea, thanks!
Do you browse your subscribed channels?
Nope, I am mainly subscribed to business channels, like news and other stuff. I don't really follow youtubers, I think I have around 3-4.
There's also some stuff about interoperability which is partly why threads were making noises about the fediverse.
The requirement for reporting and blocking tools presents a problem for X, which has just removed those. Although it wouldn't surprise me to see Musk just pull out of the non-US market altogether . He's trying to turn it into a payment platform and doing that in every country simultaneously would be impossible.
That's the Digital Markets Act.
Don't know why there are two acts that sound so similar and have similar goals. It's confusing.
Is there a tldr?
Personal tl;dr:
Musk is actively trying to stop data sharing. He threatened to sue a researcher that was using the api to collect data for breach of terms of service.
...to stop data sharing for AI training (or other purposes) for other people. There is no way I believe Musk wants to stop the collection and use of data, especially since he is trying to make his own AI. Even with the fact he is trying to kill off Twitter at the same time.
Here's the key paragraphs:
Bloody brilliant.
This is likely why .world initiated some changes over the last week.
Explain this to me in csgo terms.

When I see "von der Leyen", I don't believe shit. Not one thing. That "woman" is plainly insane. No time to explain. Believe me. ;)
