What's taking them so long? It's not hard to allow banks to share non-physical assets. It's literally just a ledger that everyone agrees on.

One neat trick to maintain profit in the short-term: reduce services, extract additional value from your workers. Will work long enough to retire as an executive. For anyone else you are SOL, lol.
I read the article. In-fact I started this thread asking for clarification to whom these laws apply. Then you went off on a tangent about Zuckerberg and implied i'm a "chud." So let me state how I think these laws apply, tell me if this is correct.
The Nation of Brazil passes a law that says the users of a website have to abide by Brazil's laws. I don't know what they meant by that, I assume lemmy.ml that is not hosted in Brazil isn't expected to know nor care about what Brazil's laws say. But if that were the case, then Facebook also wouldn't be expected to know nor care about what Brazil's laws say. The citizens of brazil that use facebook? Sure, they should be subject to those laws. But why should any other entity that exists outside of Brazil be obligated to know nor care about Brazilian law?
Those details seem pretty important, and the article doesn't address them at all, it merely says that Brazil's supreme court says that website are required to "deplatform" and "delete posts" of users who broke the law. But why should lemmy.ml abide by brazilian laws?
Which countries laws "ALREADY APPL[Y] TO EVERYONE ELSE?" Cause I'm pretty sure that isn't how laws of other countries work. I understand that you want countries to pass laws making it illegal for people to make fun of you on the Internet, but that's a laughable notion.
That is the natural extension of your line of thinking is it not? Which users are "persecutable" by brazilian/Israeli law? If it's not just the citizens of Brazil (which i'm ok with, obviously a nation should be able to pass laws that apply to their citizens) but everyone "persecutable," doesn't that mean that a country that is sufficiently able to persecute anyone in the world is now justified to enforce their laws upon the entire world?
So is lemmy.ml breaking the law in brazil right now? And rather then laughing at the notion, you think it's a good thing? Yea you should probably change your name to Avatar of Fascism.
So you are telling me that when Israel makes their definition of "anti-semitism" illegal that everyone in the entire world that uses the internet has to abide by it? That doesn't seem desirable or sane at all.
In 2014, after years of debate, Brazil's Congress ratified Law 12.965/2014, the Internet Civil Framework. This law required social media companies to delete posts and deplatform users who broke Brazilian laws. However, it placed the burden on Brazilian courts to identify the posts and accounts.
Is this meant to apply to all "users" of the platform or only Brazilian Citizens?
If it applies to Brazilian Citizens, that's all fine and good. But if I break brazilian law by criticizing their government, is lemmy.ml expected to "deplatform" and "censor" me?
AoC. Literally any "female" with good policy since much like Clinton and Harris, their gender was the least important part of their loss.
They can’t stop bots on any of the other sites they regulate either.
Why not? They are doing edge caching, they can literally just block the connection from visiting the site just like they do with their DDoS mitigation.
He campaigned as a socialist, he turned-coat a few months into his first term.
Why haven't they leaked or better yet prosecuted based off of this information they have?
