Moderation has always been required on the net. It is only a question by whom and for whom. To participate in any social setting either IRL or on the net, you need to conform to the expectations of that community. If you choose to do otherwise then you can expect consequences. What is shocking about this?
each instance and community has their own policy. you have to either follow it or if you disagree, you’re free to create your own. you can’t do that in Facebook or whatever. so no, just because a random post was removed from a certain instance, it doesn’t mean Lemmy is censored at all.
What’s wrong is that the Tory government has been in power for over a decade and thinks they can get away with increasingly authoritarian legislation like this
"I can't post racist, sexist, homophobic and transphobic bullshit to Lemmy without getting banned? CENSORSHIP! WE GOT CENSORSHIP OVER HERE!" -OP probably
I filed the same complaint at the Austrian data privacy agency and asked them to coordinate with the Irish one. You should do the same in your European nation.
I wonder how disastrously bad things will need to get before it finally breaks through into public consciousness that maybe putting surveillance cameras everywhere was a bad idea. I expect we’ll find out in a couple of decades.
I’m really unsure of how this will play out. Gen Z seems to be way more okay with stuff like this and I think it’s just a general mindset shift that I don’t really see changing. Gen Z tends to constantly share their location with every acquaintance, on snapchat, etc all the time.
As much as stuff like this freaks me out and seems many steps too far, younger generations don’t, so I feel this is going to get worse over time, not better.
The real issue is that people have become so soft, so INCREDIBLY dependant on convenience, that they have given up all control. Having autonomy/privacy/ownership over your own environment is just too much work. It’s easier to just let someone else handle the surveillance system for you. What could go wrong?
This issue of complacency plagues just about everything, from cloud computing and banking to transportation and housing.
How does this Fusus get access to private security camera feeds? I would assume companies and citizens will have to opt in to the sharing? www.fusus.com
This is why I refuse to own Ring cameras. Any company that has a program at all to share with the police is a nope from me. I don’t care if they say it’s opt in, it won’t be.
