@randahl "Algorithmic manipulation", ooooh, I like how they are thinking, that term should be on everybody's tongue!

You probably don't know much about what goes on in small instances.

They are very aware of the need to moderate. This is not a threat to them in any way.

But we can hope it's a threat to mastodon dot social, because maybe then they will start carrying their own weight.

@jeppe this will depend on how the law defines "algorithmic manipulation and amplification of illegal content" - but as mastodon doesn't have a content algorithm (unless you consider chronological listing an algorithm) I don't think this law will apply when an instance just shows illegal content that was posted on another instance. @randahl

[jgivoni@mastodon.social]

@randahl Just take the opportunity to repeal Article 6 of the Copyright Directive and make it illegal for providers to block users from using a service that extracts your feed from Facebook or X and show you only what you actually want to see.

[nicelymanifest@mastodon.social]

@randahl This is beyond brilliant. Maybe the start of backlash at often indulgently reckless natures of the powerful who have a chilling indifference towards those they adversely affect.

@randahl If the techbro pedophile club’s empire crumbles and ends, we will have cause for the first global holiday. Destroy them. Please.

I want to have this for the entiere EU.

[prefec2@norden.social]

@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.

#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).

@jeppe @ecomba @randahl

[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.
