That's not how memes work, anyone can use them, just cause some people you don't like use a meme doesn't make it "theirs". I really hate Hillary's campaign for pushing to get it labeled as a fucking hate symbol.

I honestly think it was a big mistake, it just showed people how out of touch she was with the younger demographic.

[–]faderjack [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

As much time as I spend on the interwebs, I had never seen a 'nazi' pepe until they started pushing to call it a hate symbol. Just lots of Trump pepes. I think it was a move to discredit r/T_D, honestly. Which seems a little crazy, that her campaign was so worried about a subreddit, but where else was popular enough for a cartoon frog to be causing problems for her?

This was also at the same time she pushed the 'basket of deplorables' shit, attacking Trump supporters instead of Trump himself. "Let's just call everybody who doesn't support me a racist and misogynist. They'll be so ashamed they'll have to vote for me!" It seemed pretty delusional. Worst move of her campaign I'd say.

You cannot own the pepe market. That would lead to the creation of a systemically important Pepe institution. This would conflict with regulations against 'Too big to REEEE' as stipulated in the mandate of the Rare Pepe and Exchange Commission.

This really is just a US company (Internet Archive) exploiting the liberal fearmongering to get more donation money.

They were already backing up the Internet, they just want to create a backup in Canada (the liberal America's imagined heaven), and using Trump to mobilize liberals has been incredibly successful (see Jill Stein's failed recount drive). There is literally zero evidence whatsoever that Trump wants to shut their business down in any way or form.

Meanwhile Canada is putting through actual laws that do censor the Internet

Porn censorship in the uk

The censorship regime has led to bizarre understandings between the producers and regulators, Barnett said. One is the “four-finger rule”, which limits the number of digits that can be inserted into an orifice for sexual stimulation.

It means the other guy wasn't particularly familiar with the internet, but still wanted another reason to dislike Obama.

What happened is we handed off ICANN to the UN, whereas before it was a non profit run in the US. People are worried the UN might tamper with the DNS at the whims of more censorship friendly countries, which is unlikely.

Why it doesn't matter is you can simply pick your own DNS root.

Trump is in his 70s. While he seems to get social media and such fairly well for his age I doubt he knows jack about the actual workings of the internet. Compared to what I've seen other politicians pushing in the last couple years this is relatively tame. Especially since all the wikileaks drops on Clinton and now the talk on "fake news" I've been seeing some crazy pro-censorship shit coming from capital hill and the TV networks.

[–]MURICA_BITCH [スコア非表示]  (7子コメント)

Did he mean to stop certain areas where they can communicate? Because that doesn't sound unreasonable. Or like he's shutting down parts of the Internet

[–]Jesjoenf [スコア非表示]  (10子コメント)

Well given Trump's usual rhetorical style, it's hard to say. His quote was:

Trump: ISIS is recruiting through the Internet. ISIS is using the Internet better than we are using the Internet and it was our idea. I want to get the brilliant people from Silicon Valley and other places and figure out a way that ISIS can't do what they're doing.

Wolf Blitzer: Are you open to closing parts of the Internet?

Trump: I would certainly be open to closing areas where we are at war with somebody. I sure as hell don't want to let people that want to kill us and kill our nation use our Internet. Yes sir, I am.

So in terms of actual policies or concrete ideas, there's not a lot there. Trump's words could be twisted to mean any number of things.

What I would say is clear is: he's a fucking idiot, and he's open to the idea of censoring the net or putting some big ol' firewalls in place. Which should be scary enough by itself.

[–]likestobreakthings [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Being open to it is not the same as him saying that's what he is going to do though.

I hate how everyone just assumed that trump is retarded. This man just won the presidency. This is not some cartoon where someone can just accidentally stumble into the office. He manipulated almost half the population into making him the president. He may not be the smartest man in the world, but he was smart enough to tap into emotions that some people didn't even know existed. Every "stupid tweet" had a reason behind it. He managed to run a campaign that catered to a wider range of people than the Democrats could. I wouldn't be surprised if he had purposely talked at a lower grade level to make him appear more like normal voters. I don't think he will make a good leader but he's not stupid.

I mean in Montreal all of Quebec they have literal language police who go around and make sure that English and French speakers are being equally represented and to fine people for using offensive language.

[–]wiredinmycoffee [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

in Montreal they have literal language police who go around and make sure that English and French speakers are being equally represented

it applies to the whole province of Quebec, and French has to be alone or at least twice the size

In some cases, only French can be used, for example, advertising on buses and on some large billboards.

For some other types of signs and advertising, French can be used along with English or another language, as long as the French is clearly more predominant. "More predominant" usually means that the French version is at least twice as big, or takes up at least twice as much space, as the other language.

[–]lostinpairadise [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

I have no horse in this race, I am completely on the fence about the issue. But doesn't this support what he said...

" Non-discrimination on the basis of gender identity and expression may very well be interpreted by the courts in the future to include the right to be identified by a person’s self identified pronoun. The Ontario Human Rights Commission, for example, in their Policy on Preventing Discrimination Because of Gender Identity and Expression states that gender harassment should include “ Refusing to refer to a person by their self-identified name and proper personal pronoun”. In other words, pronoun misuse may become actionable, though the Human Rights Tribunals and courts. And the remedies? Monetary damages, non-financial remedies (for example, ceasing the discriminatory practice or reinstatement to job) and public interest remedies (for example, changing hiring practices or developing non-discriminatory policies and procedures). Jail time is not one of them."

[–]ZeiglerJaguar [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly sure that's talking about harassment and non-discrimination in a workplace environment? ("Reinstatement to job?") As in, boss has a MtF trans employee and constantly calls her "him;" seems like that might cross a line as far as workplace harassment? And even that is pending a completely hypothetical court decision?

Claiming on the face of things that "Canada passed a law where you can be fined $250K for misgendering someone" is an outrageous exaggeration.

I'm not saying it's a great bill, or that it probably shouldn't be more specific if it's trying to avoid a situation like the one I mentioned above. I don't know much about it, myself. I'm saying outrageous claims deserve a bit of scrutiny.

[–]ikannfrancais [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

That actually sounds quite reasonable to me. If I started a new job and Jim from accounting insisted on calling me Stephanie (my name is Steve) and using she/her, especially when I was within earshot that would seem like harassment to me. And I have the benefit of just laughing that off because of how ridiculous it would be and the fact that most of my coworkers would probably think Jim is an idiot. If that happens to a person I would hope they'd have some legal protection.

The problem is people like to conflate that with the idea that if you accidentally use the wrong pronoun once your life is over (even if the person in question never made clear their preference), which I don't think anyone is arguing ever.

[–]lines_read_lines [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Your OWN LINK supports exactly what he said:

" Non-discrimination on the basis of gender identity and expression may very well be interpreted by the courts in the future to include the right to be identified by a person’s self identified pronoun. The Ontario Human Rights Commission, for example, in their Policy on Preventing Discrimination Because of Gender Identity and Expression states that gender harassment should include “ Refusing to refer to a person by their self-identified name and proper personal pronoun”.

The media bias is out of control, and though I'm not a Trump supporter, I do hope him being elected wakes the media up so they realize there are other opinions from their own. I remember watching CBC during the elections. When it was apparent Trump took it, the team and guest commenters all looked like someone had just told them their puppy died.

To be honest I think it would have been more justified for the Internet Archive to take these steps if Clinton had won. She was the one pledging a continuation of Obama's policies, and as you said, it was under him that censorship took a big step forward.

I am not a big fan of Donald Trump, but the US-Putin thing actually seems pretty correct.

These next 2 months' click bait topics: what terrible things Trump might, possibly, maybe, do, which either don't differ from Obama or previous administration or are completely based on speculations. i.e. Fake news.

That's funny considering Canada has some anti free speech laws and is toying with even more language controls.

Meanwhile Obama's administration has infamously tried to take down the internet multiple times, resulting in actual widespread "blackouts".

The fear mongering about Trump needs to stop.

"Fearing Trump will shit the bed, the rest of the world gets off its ass and improves things."

I'm seeing a lot of this. I just can't decide whether Trump is a great President-elect or the greatest President-elect.

Ahh the hysteria. I don't even want to persuade all these anti-Trumpers anymore 'cause I want them to stay misrable and afraid, just until they see how Trumps presidency will actually be. xD

Because a country that is pushing a bill to thought police people is the bastion from censorship. Eat a fucking platter of dicks, /r/Futurology

[–]MustardNamtab [スコア非表示]  (12子コメント)

What is the source of this fear? I don't recall Trump ever saying anything about censorship...

[–]Stranger-Thingies [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Hyper conservative regimes have routinely gone down this path. It's a very predictable move and Trump is far from the most important factor in this conversation.

Uhh just yesterday he posted on twitter that people who burn american flags should be jailed or lose their citizenship.

[–]trapanon [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

That's a really stupid place to back it up to. There's no free speech here and hundreds of thousands of sites are censored by the government.

[–]peoplejam 19ポイント20ポイント  (17子コメント)

Doesn't Canada have a law against people referring to others by their non preferred pronoun? If that's the case then Canada has its own censorship problems to deal with

[–]The_Lone_Fish17 [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

You are reffering to the Jordan Peterson debates at the University of Toronto. The issue is the new bill C-16 adds to an existing discrimination law (which makes it illegal to dicriminate against someone for race, gender etc) the term gender identity. The forced pronoun thing is misrepresenting the law. No new law was made just an existing one had its deffinition changed.

[–]PM_Me_Things_Yo_Like [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

I uh... I don't know what your referring to...

Ontario recently introduced gender neutral driver licenses, but that's the only recent gender law or policy that I'm aware of.

I'm referring to comments I heard on a podcast by professor Jordon Peterson from Toronto university http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-37875695

So they want to fine him and send him to "mandatory anti-descrimination training" if he doesn't want to call people ze or zir?

"But Dr Peterson could face sanction under Ontario's human rights code, which extended protection to trans people in 2012.

Penalties range from fines and damages to mandatory anti-discrimination training."

That is insane. I honestly never thought this shit would catch on.

Canada sponsors statewide censorship and they have no freedom of speech lol. Not a good choice at all.

Ironically enough, it is actually the current establishment which is trying to censor our access to free information. See "fake news". And what is CNN? NBC? Is that "real" news?

They are worried about this with trump? Censorship wouod have been much more of a concern with Clinton honestly.

This doesn't make any sense, America has the most ironclad freedom of speech protections in the world. Plus if it's backed up in Canada they'll have to strip out gendered pronouns.

This is a real stretch. Trump intrude on the internet? It's reaching given his policies, but it's downright laughable on the heels of the current regime.

I mean, really guys. I back you guys on the climate change concerns, but come on. The real threat to the sanctity of the internet has been of late been the left. Just look around. London's mayor, Sadiq Khan, has already stated his plan to target internet unfriendlies (or critics as a cynic might call them) to Islam, Obama gave away control of the internet to an international organization with several authoritarian regimes on its advisory board, and moderates on both sides should find the government's relationship with major tech CEO's, such Zuckerberg and Dorsey, disturbing.

I really like this sub, but can we try to resist becoming extremely politicized? The article offers no evidence aside from a couple zero-context quotes that Trump made in regards to blocking access of extremist groups like ISIS to try to halt recruiting, which (hate to kill the narrative) was a sentiment shared by the current admin and floated by Clinton.

Are you people crazy? How in the world can you entertain the thought that Trump, a president-elected chosen by the American people precisely because he stands against corruption and lies and deception, will censor the internet like some tyrant from another age? That is sick thinking, and probably designed to merely make money somehow.

[–]bobguyjones [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Didn't like either main candidate, nor did I vote for either, but I was more worried about the fate of the free internet with Hillary than Trump. Hillary has had large donations from Time Warner for sure, and I think comcast as well if I remember correctly. Quite frankly I don't think Trump gives a shit about the internet, and he doesn't seem like the type for censorship considering he doesn't seem to censor what he says very often. Ultimately, Trump is still a wild card and anyone is a fool if they think they know what he is trying to do for sure.

[–]fffeejjj [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I don't get it. People think Trump will censor the internet? I feel like Hillary would have been more likely to do that. It's always the left showing interest in censoring the net.

That's adorable. The US has just lived through 8 years of the most intrusive government this country has ever seen including expansions of snooping and wiretapping above and beyond what anyone who wrote the Patriot act could have ever imagined and NOW you afraid of censorship????

So basically, the Internet Archive is asking people to donate millions of dollars to build an alternate site in Canada that in all likelihood will not be needed. Good deal.

Are these fears even based in reality anymore? Holy fuck, people accuse republicans of fear mongering, but liberals are taking it to a completely new level with Trump.

Someones making some money off of this.

Canada will seize your property if you use the wrong pronoun to address a sjw. Not sure they are best to protect against censorship.

I'm Canadian and this is ridiculous. This is a lot of effort so that the biased media could continue to share misinformation.

It is under the current administration that you've seen massive censorship. Just look at the ridiculous censorship on Reddit so that you'll have an idea of what took place

Amen... just think of Snowden and all of the things that current administration does. The real fear of Trump is that he will lift up the curtain on them in a heartbeat. They arent used to having somebody who isnt in their pocket and who actually cares more about the citizen than the state.

Agreed, we've made it clear in this country that there is no whistleblower protection to the Espionage act, and that's a large part of why we've continued falling in the Press Freedom Index.

This could work. Canada is a fairly large country if the map I'm looking at is accurate. I doubt many of you live in the areas that are constantly covered in snow and reside in the areas that are only mostly covered in snow so this could work perfectly for huge warehouses to store data. Internal cooling system for thousands of servers? Just open a window eh? It would be permanently safe from trump, his tiny fingers would never survive in such a harsh climate.
