Oooooh SNAP!!!

@jeppe @ecomba @randahl @androcat the effect will be small. Based on the news (there is no law right now), using algorithms to spread hate, will be illegal. Mastodon does not use such "algorithms" to push engagement. So here we would be fine. The other part is content moderation. We need to get better at that. Many smaller instances are better at that. Still we need maybe new ways to improve that. However, everyone can limit hate, by not boosting it. Thus, we are part of the solution.

@randahl @niksii This is good, obviously. The only negative is the fact that they’re planning to ban social media from teens. So teens will be punished for the crimes of social media companies.

@randahl - 1000% - Good charge him for peddling kiddie Porn.

#PostOfTheWeek (season 3):
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez credited Morocco’s migration cooperation during a CNN interview at the World Governments Summit in Dubai, positioning the partnership as a template for European Union policy.

[alexafontanilla2024@mastodon.social]

@grumpydad
Sánchez stated that close coordination with Rabat has “very significantly” reduced irregular arrivals on Spanish territory. He identified Morocco as an essential strategic partner in regional migration management, attributing migration flow control to joint engagement and coordination with origin and transit countries.

@prefec2

And by reporting it.
And by muting or defederating from instances that won't listen.
There's a whole bunch of things that can be done.

But there are for sure small instances that are poorly moderated (for instance because the admin is a harasser) and these should in fact just be tossed out (defederated).

[niksii@mementomori.social]

@milesizdead yeah, it is sad that politicians all over the world are morally panicking and banning social media from teen instead of keeping companies accountable for the problem like bad moderation etc. @randahl

[energisch_@troet.cafe]

@randahl Potzblitz 🌩️ Wonderful ideas, hopefully they will be finalized in all of EU!

[aruiz@mastodon.social]

@ecomba @jeppe @randahl It is rather simple, if a node in the federation allows or amplifies that type of content, you ban the node from the fediverse

[pa27@mastodon.social]

@randahl Yes! About time the shit platforms were held liable for content, like a publisher.

[bluszcz@mastodon.com.pl]

@randahl Sanchez is really fine

[chris_toph@mastodon.social]

One can expect people in Spain will move to Mastodon and then it will become more popular.

@energisch_
Und dann ist es auch kein Problem mehr, Minderjährige da drauf zu lassen.
@randahl

[energisch_@troet.cafe]

@Nike_Leonhard @randahl like in Australia, where most of the teens find ways around?
No - I, too, wished an internet, that's save for all to use. And accessible for all. Those plattforms who do wish to boost stuff, that's rather uhm, naughty and not nice?
Well, they can offer closed memberships, like clubs. Maybe with extra safety strings attached. But in general: Chat should be okay for everyone to use safely and without 💩 fans and algorithms to spread BS more quickly.

[shaperofdefiance@mas.to]

@randahl These are great (if unimplementable) measures, but kind of fall flat when the other side of this is they're going for age verification and signed a deal with Palantir for facial recognition tech.

[jeppe@mastodon.social]

@aruiz @ecomba @randahl as far as i know, each instance would have to ban
Which could put pressure on the moderation task for smaller instances.

@shaperOfDefiance @randahl when you think an European state is starting to enforce it's sovereignty...

[budududuroiu@hachyderm.io]

@randahl people cheering this and taking the populist veneer hook line and sinker need to be reminded that European politicians are in for making some pretty unpopular decisions related to: pensions, growth, further taxing of the middle class to find ReArm. Clamping down on platforms and venues for critical evaluations of society is part of the playbook regarding ruling from a position of unpopularity
