Everyone hates you Vance. They hate you because you are dumb and you suck and you are a bad person.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Can confirm.

What was it musk said? something about censorship by tyrants?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 hour ago

Free speech absolutist.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Probably DMCA. The Olympic committee is very jealous and very aggressive. They control all recordings strictly.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 56 minutes ago

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!

ianal but I'm pretty sure dmca wouldn't apply to free use exceptions if needed reporting and commentary

[–] finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 57 minutes ago

Problem is that fair use doesn't prevent a dmca takedown. It doesn't really matter until you go to court and prove it, unfortunately. These takedowns are functioning exactly as designed, allowing for easy corporate censorship with minimal repercussions for abuse.

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?

[–] sunbeam60@feddit.uk 42 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah but the party prefers their brown shirts.

[–] III@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I prefer brown pants

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 30 points 5 hours ago

I thought comedy was legal now? Video sure gave me a laugh.

Wish that shit platform would support free speech and not just csam.

[–] homes@piefed.world 53 points 6 hours ago

How adorable! It’s all the fuck over YouTube

The copyright doesn't apply to the event of Vance being booed itself, it applies to that specific video recording of it. Sure the video creator is a dick for getting it taken down, but they're within their legal rights to.

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 37 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

I've seen NBC edited out the boos on their broadcast

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 hour ago

So sad the regime needs to protect its citizens from its international perception via media censorship. Very North Korea.

[–] homes@piefed.world 18 points 5 hours ago

You know, I just read that about an hour ago, but I can’t seem to find that version of the video. All the versions I see are the ones with all the boos and jeers, lol.

Someone’s algorithm needs a tweak…

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 19 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

People should just upload it (slightly cut or stretched) again and again. And again.

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 17 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Nitecore edit (S L O W E D + R E V E R B)

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 hour ago

That will give them fuel to call it fake and edited.
