Fikk nettopp en epost med melding om at Netflix-abonnementet mitt var suspendert. Noe som er helt greit egentlig, iom at jeg ikke har (og aldri har hatt) noe Netflix-abonnement. Bare tenkte å advare andre, får du tilsvarende, så ikke klikk på lenken i eposten! Den leder til noe som ser ut som en hacket standardinstallasjon av WordPress med noe shady JavaScript.

Som alltid: Om du ikke forventet denne eposten, så ikke klikk på lenken!

Universiteter og andre som bruker WiseFlow til å avholde eksamen er så udugelig inkompetente at dere burde kreve å få tilbakebetalt studieavgiften.

@🐝 Captain Så lenge universitetet stiller med egen PC til studentene for eksamen så er det forsåvidt greit. Men ikke at de krever (eller forventer) at studentene skal installere denne møkka på egne PCer.

Staten skal ikke styre informasjon inn i lukkede rom

Innlegg fra Eirin Eikefjord, politisk redaktør i Bergens Tidende:
«Vi har nok parallelle offentligheter. Regjeringen trenger ikke lage sine egne.»

Hemmelige frokostmøter i Oslo hvor viktige rapporter blir presentert for noen få utvalgte. Møter om stortingsmeldinger på den lukkede prateappen Clubhouse. Viktige nasjonale nyheter som kringkastes på tilfeldige Facebook-vegger.

Slik bidrar regjeringen tungt til å styre viktig informasjon inn i lukkede rom. Det er et demokratisk problem.

Hoi, takk for tilbakemeldinger!

Oppfordrer andre til også å sende inn innlegg til pressen nå når det faktisk er en del debatt rundt de semtraliserte siloenes utestengelse av Trump og andre. Jo fler jo bedre! La folk få vite at vi ikke trenger å finne oss i det, og at løsningen ikke er å tvinge siloene til å slippe alle til. Fødiverset har etter hvert så mye fantastisk programvare at det ikke er noen som helst grunn til å la kapitalistene styre lengre!

Ang ting som burde vært med og ikke, så prøvde jeg bevisst å holde dette så kort som mulig. Har sendt inn før, men ikke fått det antatt, så kan se ut som strategien fungerte. Hovedmålet nå var å gjøre oppmerksom på at det finnes alternativer, uten å gå i for mye detalj. Og å få etablert at de sentraliserte portvokterne er skadelig for samfunnet, og fullstendig unødvendige.

Kan vi først få en stemme i debatten, så kan vi komme med mer informasjon etter hvert. Første skritt er å bli lagt merke til.

A quick wl;dr (weird language; didn't read) to @Mario Vavti @Karsten Meyer and other non-norwegians:

Since the twitter ban on Tump, there's been an ongoing debate in the norwegian press on the problematic side of "censorship" like this. I argue that the problem is not a handful of sites banning someone, but that the society has made this handful of companies gatekeepers for public discourse. I then point out that this is completely unneccessary, since we have decentralized social networks, and by embracing these we can make the centralized silos irrelevant.

If similar debates are happening in your countries, do the same, write letters to the editor, get a voice and establish that there are alternatives and that relaying this much authority to closed commercial companies is unhealthy for the society.

@Karsten Meyer Happens to be one of those I read. It's a rather left oriented paper, but also one that actually has content and goes to a certain depth in what it covers. Whan most papers are click-whores mainly focusing on celebrities that I don't know who are, it's quite refreshing :) And they reserve a sizeable portion of the paper for debates and culture stuff.

@Harald Eilertsen Thanks for the English info. I liked your wl;dr

The debate definitely happened, although it seems to have slowed down a bit. Merkel put her foot in her mouth by condemning Twitter; not because she supported Trump, but over the so-called "free speech" issue. This did not sit well with the German tech companies and internet activists, since her government passed a law that requires services with user generated content to do just that - proactively find hate speech and remove it. A law that has been heavily criticized, since it makes the companies literally, investigator, prosecutor, judge, and jury.

Personally, I have absolutely no problem with Twitter banning Trump. They are not, nor should they be, required to host this crap. As a matter of fact, I wish they had done that sooner. But I also understand why they didn't.
Nonetheless, I agree with the assessment that the only solution to save the internet and free speech on the internet will be (re-)decentralization. It would render the whole debate moot. As a matter of fact, it's moot already - what's stopping Trump from hosting his own WordPress or even Mastodon site?

If you truly believe in free speech as you claim you do, banning anyone from speaking is equivalent to censorship. The genuine going to validate, the deceptive going to self-incriminate himself during uninhibited public discourse, and this is the natural tendency of things.

But there is a more complex problem here.
If you cannot tolerate as you put it "crap" from a head of state - you are in the wrong business my friend. Go do something else, get out of the platform or the publishing business, and stop interacting with people for a living. I work in Manufacturing and even I know this.

The tech giants are using "community rules" to hide censorship and authoritarianism. The argument, that "if they can do this to a head of state they can do it to anyone" is strong and valid. If the purpose of Trump trolling online was to force big-tech to show their tyrannical tendencies - Trump succeeded.

I am also glad they banned Trump, but for the exact opposite reason. Its another landmark down a very dark path, and I like to know just how far we are down and how much farther to go.

@Tanja
This is an email I received just overnight.

Hello FourOh_LLC

At Gab we aren’t just building a social network, we are building an alternative to Silicon Valley tyranny. Our mission is to defend free speech online at all costs and we’ve certainly paid the price for standing by this mission.

To date Gab has been banned from dozens of services providers including app stores, payment processors, hosting providers, and even VISA. We spent two years building our own infrastructure from the ground up and thanks to the support from our community we made it happen.

Gab is only possible because we have people like you who help us to fund the development and operation of the Gab platform. We hope you’ll consider upgrading to GabPRO, our optional subscription service, to unlock additional features on Gab and help us defend free speech online for all people. GabPRO members can create groups, get verified, schedule posts, and much more.

Thanks for being a valued member of our growing community!

Andrew Torba
CEO, Gab.com

This is the problem, pay attention to the second paragraph.
I do not see any reason not to accept it as 100% fact - Gab is in existential crisis.
I do not see any realistic chance that this is NOT COORDINATED.

It makes no difference if this is right or wrong, it Gab is truly an evil entity which must be stopped by all costs, if Gab is going to destroy the solar system. All those are claims and hypothesizes.

But the coordinated effort behind this is REAL. Its functional, and as with everything functional there is more of it to come. This is a long way down the path where Trump was trolling on Twitter - those are words. This is action.

So, who is glad to see all these things happening to Gab?

@FourOh-LLC

banning anyone from speaking is equivalent to censorship

Nobody is refuting that. But banning them from one (or a handful) of services is not preventing them from speaking. Particularly not someone who has a thousand microphones at his disposal.

The problem is that society treats this handful of services as public space. They never were, and we need to stop treating them like that.

I gab wants to continue hosting racist shit, that's their issue. They're free to do so, but nobody is required to listen to them, connect with them, or serve them.

The problem is confusing principle with practice. All principles are idealistic and unattainable, and all practices are dis-satisfactory to someone. If you censor - that makes you an authoritarian regardless if you are the "government" or not. Again, if you must censor people to attain your business goals - you are in the wrong business. If you sensor because you are a self-appointed guardian of principles - your principles are corrupt, and so are you.

Allowing people uninhibited speech is absolutely necessary to validate the genuine and uncover the deceptive. I have yet to come across anything that does a better job at that.

The right to freedom to speech does not include the obligation to listen. Being forced to listen is the totalitarian's "freedom of speech". Being forced to listen to lies and half-truths, hate, speech inciting harm and bigotry without being able to protect yourself is also wrong, just as it is wrong to prevent freedom of speech. Truth has a hard time 2021. Truth as something we both agree to be the real state or situation, a common ground or starting point for a discussion about real alternatives for dealing with this common truth, has surprisingly fewer vocal supporters than those who swear by freedom of speech meaning "you have to listen and have to agree with my feelings but I do not have to do the same", a very strange and one-sided "freedom" and "truth".

Like some people just did, posted some cartoons and shut the door. I am not going to force anyone to read or listen to me, because my purpose is manufacturing. If I wanted to make a difference I would be a politician.

I know the number of people who are going to shut the door in my face for not sharing their views is only going to increase. Truly uninhibited public discourse at work. I need to learn to keep away from these topics.

Rather than embrassing a continuum of freedom of speech from zero through very little onwards to OK further to very few encumbarances to absolute, my view is you flip switch from off to on in your argumentation, where an alternative is the metaphore of a volume control with a gradient from 0 to 11.

Allowing people uninhibited speech is absolutely necessary to validate the genuine and uncover the deceptive. I have yet to come across anything that does a better job at that.

I have. By dialing down the volume from 11 to 9, it is possible for the EFF to have open and inclusive events where 9 out of 10 have a good time together, rather than 7 or 8 out of 10.

EFF events are intended to be inclusive and welcoming for everyone. In particular, we do not tolerate harassment of participants, whether attendees, guests or EFF staff, in any form. EFF will enforce these expectations throughout the event, and may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender, expulsion from the event with no refund, and banning the participant from any future EFF events.

Harassment includes but is not limited to disparaging verbal comments related to gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, or other similar characteristics; deliberate intimidation; stalking; sustained disruption of talks or other events; harassing photography or recording; inappropriate physical contact; and unwelcome sexual attention.

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. Participants who believe that they have been improperly accused will be given an opportunity to present their side of the story, usually before a decision on a further course of action, except in the case of egregious harassment. EFF will endeavor to be fair in deciding a further course of action, but reserves the discretion to expel individuals from our events regardless of

By using the volume control metaphore, I think it may be easier to see the EFF is both principled and not corrupted as to freedom of speech at the same time. This is much harder do express with binary language, if not impossible.

Why you did not understand me I will leave for you to decide, I am not a mindreader. I am saying my experience is different than yours, freedom of speech dialed to 9 of 11 on the volume control works for me, I find flipping between 0 and 1 both infantile and dysfunctional in my life. If it works for you, fine. Let us leave at that, we disagree, no big deal.
