This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Love the Streisand effect. I had no idea there was footage of this cabbage patch chimp getting booed at the Olympics until they blocked it π
In Canada we don't censor that sort of stuff so watching the CBC stream was funny. All applause then the couch pest showed up and the entire stadium mood changed. Americans truly don't realize they are jokes outside of their country.
Like Israel at Eurovision. They had all the anti-booing on the streams, but some of it was still slipping through and Graham was like "I don't know what you can all hear at home, but this definitely an energetic reception" π
We do.
Stop using Musk's products.
Post it on Mastodon and here instead.
The REAL free speech platforms.
Is that enough? Isn't there only like 11 million on mastadon?
You can also copy the Mastodon/Lemmy link to Twitter and Bluesky, I guess.
I'm with you, I just think on top of those we also need to focus on where people are. Facebook does the heavy lifting now. They show you the most popular right wing groups now. It's easy to post to them
What was it musk said? something about censorship by tyrants?
Free speech absolutist.
Do we do cake day comments on lemmy? Whatever. Happy cake day!
If the instance and/or app is gonna show it, I think it's ok to mention it!
Probably DMCA. The Olympic committee is very jealous and very aggressive. They control all recordings strictly.
They don't control my tivo recordings.
Which is why everyone should oppose ATSC 3.0.
With ATSC 3.0, TV stations can literally insert ads overlayed on screen at any point.
They can use your tv's smart functions to literally track your behavior.
They can refuse to allow you to record tv stations entirely, or just kndividual shows.
They can delete shows without your consent. They can block you from watching shows. They can make OTA tv programing pay per view.
I'm not saying they ARE doing this, or are planning it, but they CAN. And if capitalism has taught me anything it's "fuck you, pay us, and then pay us again, and fuck you again".
See......humans are stupid. We could all be living in lush rich forests, having sex in bright sunny fields, with no cares in the world.
Instead, we all have jobs, and make ourselves slaves to them. We hand over control of all aspects of our lives to corporations.
Instead of utopia, we live in a parking lot jungle. Where the profits for paid parking are more important than affordable housing, and rent control.
And it all rolls downhill. Even television is trying its hand at enshitification. Don't buy a smart tv. Don't buy ATSC 3.0 anything. Tell these fuckers to fuck off!
I always have my "smart" TV disconnected from internet, and I run my media viewing through the steam deck in desktop mode, but any Linux computer will work just as fine. Then I employ some high sea villainy and boom, set to coast.
No I'm sorry this is strictly on NBC and American fragility. Streams of the Olympics in all other countries didn't mess with audio. I heard Israel being booed as well as America.
ICE providing security for American politicians in another country? Donβt they have a dedicated security group called the Secret service or something like that?
Makes me think they're there to scan the entire stadium and upload it to their new tracking database
Everyone hates you Vance. They hate you because you are dumb and you suck and you are a bad person.
I don't know that he's dumb, but that makes him even worse.
Heβs not dumb. Oh my oh my the contrast. He sure as hell ainβt wise either.
Ask yourselves, why do officials need ICE protection when they have the Secret Service?
Theyβre there to assist policing American fans, not to protect officials.
Because the US didn't have enough actual police officers they could bring?
I thought comedy was legal now? Video sure gave me a laugh.
Wish that shit platform would support free speech and not just csam.
Wasnβt he complaining last year in Germany about how in Europe free speech was under attack? I am certain he will criticise Musk the same now, right? Right?
Blocked on X...LOL! Fuck Leon Hitler and every time he cries about censorship.
Fuck you NBC.
Streisand the fucking thing.
People should just upload it (slightly cut or stretched) again and again. And again.
The copyright doesn't apply to the event of Vance being booed itself, it applies to that specific video recording of it. Sure the video creator is a dick for getting it taken down, but they're within their legal rights to.
Copyright is a compromise, not an absolute. It has all kinds of provisions for things like commentary, public interest etc which generally speaking does allow short clips of a greater work.
Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo B O O O O O O O O O O
The video from the TV station must be copyrighted, but about everybody else's video from the audience?
