Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Kropotkin is wrong, the data existed but it was made usable in a new way by methods which would not have existed without this company.

Secondly, open source is not the only ethical form of technology, that’s an inherently biased and simplistic way to think. In fact, having access to some types of tech or information can make the world less safe or more unethical.

Edit corrected sentence, and lol @ downvoters constantly butthurt that their Marxist pov is challenged

What if you don't want to make your data usable by AI chatbots, is that not your right?

Kropotkin died in 1921 so you'd be explaining it to him using wireless radio or telegram cables or similar.

A newspaperman has invented a new way to transmit the encyclopedia over the radio without you having to visit a library. A machine like a very complicated typewriter takes your cable and returns the entry from the encyclopedia to you immediately. They charge for this service but do not pay the encyclopedia writer, and the ink for the typewriter is made by burning down a forest and polluting a river. The newspaperman also takes the labor of his employees for profit and directs the government in his whims, and frequently changes the output of the encyclopedia to meet his political ends.

While you may disagree those are bad things, it would certainly be consistent with Kropotin's world view to he against it.
