I really appreciate it when people want to set the record straight like this, and you're right, the truth is probably worse than this post. But it's not as sensational so people will gravitate to the bullshit tweet instead. Which is the same phenomenon which gave us trump to begin with. 🤦♂️
I definitely think your post is misinformation. What the commenter told you is quite different from what you reposted. Bondi made demands but no promises. It's probably actually worse than what you posted, but accuracy matters.
You wrote something like "is there a campaign to fight against misinformation on lemmy? I have been seeing a ton of it."
Edit: exact comment from modlog is "Apologies, slightly off topic but is there a thread for organising action against misinformation on Lemmy? I've come here from Reddit and the amount of right wing misinformation and propaganda is insane. So much floating around unmoderated. Just looking for tips on how to effectively deal with it more than anything (other than abandoning ship!) "
Not sure how that was not supposed to be taken as referring to misinformation on Lemmy.
FYI since you pretend not to know: "you do have to accept [thing that didn't exist at the time a ruling was made]" would read as being a smartass to most people
Yours read like a libertarian from the early 2000s who is definitely okay with some heinous shit but won't own up to it. Save your projecty reading recommendations for yourself.
You get that there is a difference in "I can tell I'm being filmed" and not, right? You get that law is behind technology sometimes, right? Not sure why there's an argument here.
I am well aware of that supreme court decision. If hidden cameras mounted in glasses were a thing then, I highly doubt that ruling could've ever happened. Thanks for telling me what I have to accept though. Totally helpful and kind thing to do. Thanks also for the weird condescension. Exactly what the world needs right now.
I'm just going to play it safe and never talk about it again on here from now on.
Erm, what? If you've seen evidence of right wing trolls you should absolutely talk about it and mention specifics. Thing is, I still don't know if you saw such evidence. You're being cagey about it.
The first two thirds of this comment apply to any OS, most of all: windows. I would rather use a terminal any day than edit the registry to fix a basic issue I'm having 🤮
anyone can easily film you in public because anyone just assumes you're just holding your phone up for something else.
Nope. If someone is doing that, I can easily notice it and know it's a possibility and move/turn away. Just because I can judge that as probably not happening doesn't mean a phone being held is equivalent to a human literally just wearing glasses with their head turned my way.
Are you really advocating for the position that I should give up the fight and just accept being filmed at all times in public?
It would be like someone confusing a camera for a smartphone.
Not really. For the purposes of this conversation that doesn't matter at all. The only things that matter here would be can the glasses film and can anyone tell that at a glance? I don't care if the glasses can also do Google searches or some shit. That doesn't necessarily violate my privacy. What violates my privacy is someone filming, without me even having a clue they might be.
They literally already deleted their account. The person you responded to was right to be sketched out.
