The thing is. By Banning it you make it a lot harder for people to use it. Soms might start using VPNs sure, or even TOR. But most people don't even know what that is or don't care enough tongo through so much hassle.
Most people are already fed up with META but are just too lazy to switch, this will give them the final push. And privacy is never a reason to use meta. The entire reason they are being fined so much is because continuously break privacy laws and make privacy worse for everyone.
Or just, you know. Ban every meta product in the EU. That would be so wonderful. It would force people to stop using that shit and the world would be a better place. I see this as an absolute win.
Bluesky will with 100% certainty turn to shit once the investors start sinking their claws into it. Every platform that is driven by profit will eventually turn to enshittification just like reddit is doing right now. Its inevitable. I'd rather set my focus on something like Lemmy or piefed which isn't profit driven and can be forked.
I know it seems kinda ironic. But the way to reach lots of people is to post on YouTube. If you want to reach people and stop them from using google you're not going to reach them on some obscure platform that no one uses.
And the people using those obscure platforms have already degoogled so your basically preaching to the choir if you use them.
So what is there for normies? YouTube which is also owned by a fascist company. Deezer which is shit. Apple which is another fascist company that supports trump. Tidal which has also had its fair share of controversy ( not paying artists), shit ui etc.
And if you mention the fediverse people will look at you like you speak an alien language.
So since I'm not really using any of these ai tools. Can someone explain to me if openai is "open source" as it suggests? If so can't you just see the source code in case they try to ruin it?
I guess an AI can never be truly open in a way? I know this is probably a red flag but I know that a lot of Linux distros which are completely open source are government funded too.
