It's crazy how quickly mass censorship is becoming commonplace though. From shadowbanning on Reddit and Twitter, to court blocking in the UK, Spain and Italy.
Obviously I don't support white supremacists, but they've stepped away from being defenders of the constitution in that respect. Same for defending those not using certain pronouns, etc.
They're awesome, but I feel like it'll go the way of the ACLU eventually.
Like nowadays on Reddit you see a lot of support for all the bureaucratic regulation like the AI act, Cybersecurity act, etc. empowering Big Tech monopolies and Big Government control over start-ups and tinkerers.
Luddite nonsense. AI will drive productivity gains which will help research in photovoltaics, nuclear fusion, carbon capture (also needed for SpaceX's Mars mission), etc. and improve society.
I mean I live in Sweden and in my building we have problems with people damaging common areas, dumping rubbish, etc. - but nothing can be done because only the police have the right to review CCTV here.
That's the sort of issue I mean, just the actions of a tiny minority can ruin a lot of stuff - but it doesn't need to be that way.
On the other hand it's crazy that the richest city in the world is plagued with street crime - even to the extent that it disrupts delivery services, self-driving cars, etc.
I think Bukele put it best when he said that the public stuff should be the best. But that depends on enforcing the law well so that public transport and services aren't destroyed by a minority of criminals.
It's great though - that's how you get amazing services and technological advancement.
I wish we had that. In Europe you're just stuck paying 50 euros for a taxi in major cities (who block the roads, etc. to maintain their monopolies).
Meanwhile in the USA you guys have VR headsets, bioluminescent houseplants and self-driving cars (not to mention the $100k+ salaries!), it's incredible.
