From @mmasnick: "Democratic Senators Team Up With MAGA To Hand #Trump A #Censorship Machine"
techdirt.com/2025/03/21/democr…
"The fundamental problem here is that these Senators don’t understand what #Section230 actually does — or how its repeal would make their stated goals harder to achieve… Here’s what repealing Section 230 would actually do: remove the law that explicitly protects websites when they resist government pressure to censor speech. Without those protections, the Trump administration would have far more leverage to force platforms to remove content they don’t like — whether that’s criticism of Trump, exposure of corruption, or information about voting rights. It can also allow them to pressure websites to host pro-MAGA or pro-Nazi content that sites might not wish to associate with."

Creating more copyrights won’t get artists paid for the same reason that giving your bullied kid extra lunch money won’t get them lunch.

The answer to AI abuses is not stronger copyright, but stronger labor and privacy laws.
@dick
This is only true if the AI your boss hires to do your job is capable of doing your job.
It's entirely possible that your boss fired you and replaced you with an AI that CAN'T do your job.

Cuts to research into inequality, disparities and other DEIA topics harm science
From HIV treatments to school desegregation, research into topics now considered DEIA have benefited Americans throughout history.The Conversation
March 22 is #WorldWaterDay and an apt birthday for Japanese #geochemist Katsuko Saruhashi (1920-2007) who created tools that allowed her to make 1st measurements of CO2 in seawater, raised the alarm about nuclear fallout, tracing it in oceans & researched peaceful uses of nuclear power.

Plugable 5G USB-C Ethernet Adapter Review - USBC-E5000 - Lon Seidman & Lon.TV Blog
My latest video review is of the Plugable USBC-E5000 5 gigabit ethernet adapter —something that’s still relatively uncommon compared to the more widely available 2.5 gigabit options. The unit supports 5 Gbps speeds when plugged into a 10 Gbps USB 3.admin (Lon Seidman & Lon.TV Blog)
