The vice president attended the opening ceremony in Milan, where people also protested the presence of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at the Winter Olympics.
How adorable! It’s all the fuck over YouTube
ICE providing security for American politicians in another country? Don’t they have a dedicated security group called the Secret service or something like that?
Yeah but the party prefers their brown shirts.
Most countries send a policing presence to major international sporting tournaments.
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!
happy happy cake daaaaay!
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.
TiVo… now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long long time. they still around?
I bought lifetime subscription 10+ years ago. It still updates the guide, but they stopped selling hardware.
Which is a shame. I like Tivo.
this little guy?
my family had a TiVo box back in 1999. probably one of the first DVRs to market.
my dad even hooked up a 2nd coax satellite line because you could record on one and watch the other. shit was wild!
a time where you could fast forward commercials instead of paying for them.
A protector is a good non-enshittified alternative to a smart TV
Uh. Stop using TV. They fucked that platform already.
ianal but I’m pretty sure dmca wouldn’t apply to free use exceptions if needed reporting and commentary
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 😆
Stop using Musk’s products.
Ask yourselves, why do officials need ICE protection when they have the Secret Service?
They’re there to assist policing American fans, not to protect officials.
Because the US didn’t have enough actual police officers they could bring?
Because the police is employed by states and the country. ICE is their private army, and obeys their master.
No difference than officers having red armbands in the 1930’s.
I thought comedy was legal now? Video sure gave me a laugh.
Wish that shit platform would support free speech and not just csam.
Fuck you NBC.
People should just upload it (slightly cut or stretched) again and again. And again.
Nitecore edit (S L O W E D + R E V E R B)
That will give them fuel to call it fake and edited.
They don’t need doctored video to make that claim.
Blocked on X…LOL! Fuck Leon Hitler and every time he cries about censorship.
Streisand the fucking thing.
Wasn‘t 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?
Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo B O O O O O O O O O O
Twitter is not the only social media platform out there, right?
