Governments shouldn’t [?] whether or not specific content is ok

Yes they should.

Idk why do people act as if online content is detached from real life. Governments decide what type of content/things are ok irl all the time, literally laws are deciding what is ok for you to do and show in real life all the time, everywhere, in all aspects of life. Why do you think online content is untouchable?

In most countries going out and showing your penis in public will land you in jail, why is the government deciding this is inappropriate “content” to be in public? It is just an example out of… thousands.

What do you think would happen if you set up a huge screen on a public square irl and started playing real murder videos that happened recently to people from your own country? Do you think people would see your huge screen showing actual muders and not call the cops on you? Do you think this behaviour would not destroy your life, maybe land you in jail or get you a huge fine, get you lawuits from the victims’ families (who were real people on your videos) that you would 100% lose?

If you think governments shouldn’t decide what type of content is ok to be shared publicly on social media, I invite you to download a collection of gore videos and set up a huge screen out on the streets and see how long you manage to be showing this in public before it lands you in trouble.

You wouldn’t do it and I bet you know damn right that you getting in trouble for this is correct. Why is public social media different? Online = ethereal world where rules don’t matter?

Come on dude, online content is not detached from real life.

Remember we are talking about content shared publicly for anyone, even unintentionally, to see. Not private messages and private groups that people join willingly.

For economists (and business) students it isn’t a graphing calculator but same thing with HP12c (financial calculator). But it is only like 40 dollars.

Oh it was funded with tax/university money so that means a 3rd party private company, which had nothing to do at all with the funding/research, gets to profit from it gottcha.

People downvoting cause they have no idea how this shit works

We who? Speak for yourself please

Yup, me on the fedi running away from big tech platforms, now meta stalking us even here bro wtf

If I wasn’t trying to get away from Meta I wouldn’t be on fucking lemmy I’d be on facebook. The whole point of me being here is I am trying to get away from them and other big tech platforms :)

You come to the fediverse for a reason.

Spiders more civilized than some of my coworkers

For example I noticed a subreddit that I like has their own lemmy instance. Instead of just a single community they made an entire instance and separated the themes in communities, so I was trying to see all the communities they have on the instance and couldn’t find because idk how they named them and my lemmy account is on a different instance.

Thanks, didn’t know that website

Bummer. Thanks. Hope this feature comes soon
