@DrALJONES The far right thinks that "morality" is just telling people how to have sex, nothing more.

@danirabbit Rather like this Soviet cartoon about the supposed evils of cybernetics.

@cstross Well the liability under copyright law was written with a view to bankrupting users of file sharing programs like Bittorrent. So the theoretical liability to all authors probably exceeds the US GDP.

@ChrisMayLA6 Meanwhile, the German word for "jam" is "marmalade" (mar-ma-larder), which was banned as a product name in Germany because we had reserved it for the bitter orange stuff. Imagine the Brexiteer harumphing if the EU had stopped us from calling jam "jam"!

@xkcd Also a favourite of mine from some time I once spent sorting out clock change bugs.

@autonomysolidarity You are being watched.

@galacticstone The difference, of course, is that Baron Harkonen was *intelligent*.

@taylorlorenz For me, "not owned by billionaires" is the key. I can use social media without an algorithm designed by a billionaire chum of Epstein shoving *his* favoured opinions into my feed, or shadowbanning me or closing my account for saying something that *he* disagrees with.
