And now the activity of your community is going up so it has a better chance to land on someone's front page 😉
I'm going to guess they mean specifically mean capital 'L' Liberalism, who "generally support private property, market economies".
Considering their rule 1 is "No capitalist apologia / anti-communism". I could see that as banning Liberals.
And it's lemmygrad, what do you expect?
No idea. I can see not up voting it. I think it's a bit of a non-story. Country looks to maybe join a group containing it's some of it large trading partners. This group might or might not do something on the future. Only interesting bit is it's the BRICS.
But a down vote just feels unnecessary. The story is factual. The source is fine. It might be relevant to someone.
Yeah.
Twitter knows full well that music is leaked, launched, and streamed by billions of people every day on its platform. No longer can it hide behind the DMCA and refuse to pay songwriters and music publishers.
It's going take more than just saying that to convince me that Twitter violated their safe harbor. The music industry is kind of known for these lawsuits. I think they are basically saying pay us a fee or we'll sue. Even if they ultimately lose the cost of defense for Twitter is probably more than whatever fee they have in mind.
I hate that "eradicate them" sentiment I've seen in some places too. And I think Pavel's initial comparison and implication of internment camps horrible.
I've tried to think of what increase security scrutiny would even be. A quick look at ICERD says, broadly, you can't restrict movement, speech, or general participation in life.
I guess it depends on exactly how you interpret:
Each State Party shall take effective measures to review governmental, national and local policies, and to amend, rescind or nullify any laws and regulations which have the effect of creating or perpetuating racial discrimination wherever it exists;
I don't think increased investigate scrutiny would be restricted here. This might include things such as increased time spent verifying visa application or other governmental procedures. I could also see investigative resources spent on criminal cases.
Those are things governments typically have very broad discretion with. But I'm not a lawyer maybe there's something else.
I was going to say the comparison to Japanese internment was an unfair comparison but Pavel made it first himself. Widespread detainment based on nation of origin should not be a thing anywhere.
Russian citizens should be under, or at least expect to be under, some security scrutiny. How much scrutiny is an open question to me but I could see Russian citizens being a little more than usual. But anyone should be in a foreign country. If you go taking pictures of national security sensitive places you shouldn't be surprised if you are shooed off or possibly detained depending on what exactly it is.
I don't fly often but it may be getting better. 🤷♀️
So at least they know at an organizational level they have an issue.
Of course my view is they are a useless organization overall and locked cockpit doors do 99% of their jobs.
I wouldn't call it selfish. They want tools for more granular control on their instance. That's perfectly fine. If they limit who can post or comment based on the instance they are from. The other instances are perfectly free to limit their users as well in response or for their own arbitrary reasons.
There seems to be a distinct lack of controls across lemmy as a whole. The only option for them is all or nothing at the moment.
I think the big take away is for users to think about what instance they create their accounts and communities on.
