Okay, let me know how that works out for you.

“When I get into office, the first thing we have to do, social media companies, they have to show America their algorithm,” Haley said during an interview with Fox News Tuesday. “Let us see why they’re pushing what they’re pushing.”

When they deliver a list of network nodes, interconnections and weights, I'm not sure it will answer her question.

First they came for the discord profiles with cropped Judy Hopps porn and i said nothing

[–] Nougat@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's disgusting! Cropped Judy Hopps porn online! Where! Where do they post those?

Luscious.net is one I know of for r34

And how does she intend to do this? Am I gonna have to fax my driver's license to every website I create an account at?

It's a tool to oppress dissent.

Realistically, you can't enforce the law, but if you find an anonymous account for anything on someone's phone or laptop, you can easily arrest or fine them.

And they'll have about as much success

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

They’ll keep trying until they win. It will be relatively easy for them to win on corporate social media. They largely have already have won, if you’ve continued to follow Matt Taibbi’s Twitter Files.

The final frontier will be the non-corporate fediverse: Atlantic Council: Collective Security in a Federated World

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

She will consult China for that. A Beacon of democracy!

[–] Rhaedas@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Only if it's a federally approved REAL ID license.

[–] LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Create laws for social media sites to validate identity or force them through something like login.gov with il2 verification. More and more federal services are starting to use them for managed identity.

Natinal security threat bc the old, orange not-a-billionaire, asshole, with big toddler feelings, need to know who is making fun of him for retribution if he wins reelection

Cancelling and/or doxxing everybody even slightly opposed to the party line will become commonplace.

Speaking your mind out in the open requires bravery I sadly do not possess...

That'll be useful for the next time they plan an insurrection.

Can someone abolish conservatives already?

[–] RandoCalrandian@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You think this particular issue doesn’t have full bipartisan support among the elites?

You’re delusional

Cool, so I'll just use a VPN with an exit node outside of the grasp of the US. Problem solved.

She'll have more success delivering on the promise of a pony and a blowjob for every American.

[–] tekcaj@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Giving a blowjob to every straight adult male in America (estimated 116.8M) with an average of 9 minutes and 30 seconds leaves us with 2,111 years of straight dick-sucking for any presidential candidate.

This is like one of those things republicans say during election season, then get back to doing nothing but funneling tax funds to donors.

GOP trying to slow fascist creep on every front.

Thankfully they fully telegraph every move outloud

Problem is not enough of us pay attention or truly understand the encroaching facsim that is threatening democracy.

This is your daily reminder to vote responsibly in 2024.

[–] jlow@beehaw.org 9 points 1 year ago

I feel like civilisation is kinda doomed when we let people come up with the same shitty idea every few years over and over again. It has been proven again and again that using your real name doesn't deter people doing the most heinous things on social media. Bigots don't care of you know their names. Just log into Facebook Twitchan or any other social media for a second to see that this idea is complete bs. But whatever even if she would realise it there will be someone in a few years trying to do it again.

[–] ChocolateTeapot@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Um, what she gonna do about all us foreigners? I promise to only threaten your security a little bit - will that count??

Actually, I just know our gov will use that as an excuse to do the same!

Does she have any idea how many magats on Twitter are anonymous? There goes her chances right there.

[–] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Don't worry, they'll be the exception.

"Wait I'm being held indefinitely and being censored online? That's only supposed to be used on Terrorists and Antifas!"

Honestly it's wild how many people after Jan 6 have this wild notion that the rioters there are being persecuted worse than any other rioter...

[–] PlatypusXray@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Something something „Land of the free“…

Republicans are Soviets. Not communists but Soviets. They want to abolish freedom, and they want Putin in charge of the USA.

Well, thankfully I had no intention of voting for this particular idiot, and now its a double hell no.

[–] digdilem@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah - that's not going to be possible.

Glad we (UK) are not the only country with politicians who make dramatic statements about online policies in the hope of gaining notoriety, without knowing what the merry fuck is involved or even if it's technically possible.

Enjoy this semblance of freedom while it lasts. Or take the pill and join the dark side

[–] LainOfTheWired@lemy.lol 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah good luck with that

[–] MiddledAgedGuy@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"national security threat" == "threat to the regime we're trying to establish".

Look, I know it's nonsense and I know it'd be a disaster and a threat and it'd imply they are in power and that's bad. So please, please, I don't get to vote, so go vote against these idiots if you can.

But I'm not gonna stand here and say I wouldn't like to see them try.

Just... maybe with access to a time machine so I can reboot the timeline after. But come on.
