I agree, but what the Irish are doing is dumb. If reddit it hit with that, then so should Google and the whole of the internet, since everything can get you videos. No one should be in charge of sensoring the internet.

If you want to operate in a country, you have to abide by their laws.

If you want to restrict your people more than the rest of the world, cut yourself off from the world wide web.

I've read your sentence multiple times and I've no idea what it means.

I mean, there's one typo where it says "it" instead of "is", but other than that it all looks to make sense enough. By all the votes it looks like most people understand it just fine.

Google and other companies are being covered by it, as they are headquartered in Ireland for their EU activity. So what's dumb about that? And what are you on about sensoring? Did you even read the article?

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

I did, and aside from youtube, I don't see any mention in the article of "google". Plus while what is listed out as being banned is all well and good, except one of them could have a whole lot of room for interpretation. Who's to say what determines incitement to hatred? All listed platforms are big established entities with bankrolls and all already don't really allow anything listed by the Irish, so really it just seems like an attempt at a money grab for Ireland to issue fines and collect cash whenever they decide.
