What are they going to do? Toss me in jail for ticking the checkbox that says “disable this really very important feature, you naughty user you” that every distribution will put in to get through some vague loophole that will inevitably sneak its way in to whatever chatgpt-generated specification the law ends up requiring?

I mean yes, probably.

“We need to control the platforms, all the social platforms,” Kramer said.

He proposed a system that would “stack, rank, the 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 of every person that expresses themselves online,” with speech privileges determined by that ranking.

Based on that system, Kramer said authorities should “take control over what they are saying.”
