What's going through the EU's mind right now? "This is clearly futile, not working and doesn't stand a chance in hell of working......so let's do more!"?
I mean, seriously, what will they be doing next? Asking all proxies, VPNs, and TOR to filter "right to be forgotten" search results. All airlines and airports offering international flights will require memory wipers to remove any "right to be forgotten knowledge" from your brain. All libraries, archives, repositories and public records offices will be re
Can't tell (not telepathic), but I'm in support of this right and I can tell you what I think: The Internet is full of half-truths and outright lies. Search engines do not deliver results based on the truth value of sites, but on popularity, page ranking and such. If, 10 years ago, you were arrested for child porn, with headlines in the newspapers. Three months later, charges were dropped, everyone apologized profoundly to you for the mistake, the government paid a ton of money for your troubles and the pro
No, you are advocating censorship, a non solution to a basic personal problem of people who believe everything they hear. They are the ones ruining lives. Deal with them. Leave Google alone! You only have the right to prevent information from being used against you, not the dispersal of the information. I'm always hoping we can achieve P2P internet that will be impossible to censor.

I'm always hoping we can achieve P2P internet that will be impossible to censor. Something to make the authorities squirm.
I hope we will have that for one year. I'm confident the vast majority of "free information" extremists will finally understand that every extreme position is dangerous bullshit.
Censorship is always evil, without exception.
In the real world, there are always exceptions to every rule. Philosophers have been debating this topic for at least 2500 years, the Tyrannicide question is the most popular way of phrasing it.

Well yes. if they want to act like animals they will probably try to do as you say. Respectful people will know who/what is responsible for any problems with the free flow. Hopefully they can keep the pigs at bay.Computers have some what appears to be truly intractable security issues. Let's try to exploit those. Regardless, I hope
And here it is, the simple answer to a 2500 year old philosophical debate, in a/. posting...
Words are completely, utterly inert, more inert than helium.
Dennett (an actual philosopher) calls this kind of statement a "Deepity". A hollow phrase sounding profound, but it's actually either false or trivial, depending on how you read it.
Words are the primary tool of people in power, and have been for 10,000 years. Only those who neither understand nor wield power disregard them.
The simplest ones are most often the correct ones.
I can't remember who said it, but it's so very true: "To every difficult, complex problem, there is always a solution that is simple, straightforward, easy to understand, and wrong."
Anyway, are you advocating the death penalty there?
Maybe before you discuss things you should get at least a basic overview of what you're talking about [wikipedia.org]? The Tyrannicide question has nothing to do with the death penalty aside from the fact that maybe someone ends up dead. But the legal, ethical and philosophical implications are very different.
Well I don't know about him, but I can finish my 'philosophizing' in less than 30 seconds. In other words (snicker) he's full of shit.
Silly to admit to not know one of t [wikipedia.org]
That's right. We both are. I don't even consider your silly dilemmas. Working on the technical solution is much more productive. That is where my major efforts go.
By the way, Obama is going full bore fascist to go after some rapper. You might get your censorship, and we'll have even more incentive to work around it. May the best man win...
The first sign of maturity is the discovery that the volume knob also turns to
the left.
