timestatic@feddit.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Google decides it won't comply with EU fact-checking lawEnglish1·6 months agoThe EU. I don’t use google search. I use a degoogled android rom firefox and only use the bare minimum of google search engines. I think the government should promote conditions where fair competition against google is actually possible.
timestatic@feddit.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Google decides it won't comply with EU fact-checking lawEnglish2·6 months agoI’m all for legislation that properly makes companies price in external effects. What I do not support is the state taking an active role in the market. Legislation is created for a reason but needs to be reformed and slimmed down once in a while. The government does not adjust fast enough imo and I think it should focus on core tasks instead of creating search engines.
timestatic@feddit.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Google decides it won't comply with EU fact-checking lawEnglish1·6 months agoSo much for having a reasonably discussion. Calling me a hopeless nerd. You sure must be fun to be around.
Its not just an server name since the moderators there remove stuff that doesn’t fit their narrative and people with according ideology often are on these servers. It makes a real difference. You can check it out because users that find an instance that fits their personal beliefs create their account there and its a Marxist Leninist community. But you don’t actually seem to care.
timestatic@feddit.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Google decides it won't comply with EU fact-checking lawEnglish1·6 months agoLook, the goverment is good at providing a good starter set of things you need for life. Infrastructure has no real competition so the infrastructure needs to be state owned since we can’t have it fail. I would look favorably if the government funded an open initiative to build a FOSS search index… but I think a search engine isn’t something like core infrastructure that can only reasonably exist once.
Besides… SearxNG is just a relay engine and if every european used it and relayed the search request to other search engines without them getting a dime I don’t think that would be fair.
Lemmy also isn’t developed by the state. It might get funding from the goverment but thats a very different thing - Core research that doesn’t have a straight up ROI is also one of the things where everyone benefits of it long term falls under something the government should do. I just don’t think the government is good at running an economical business and I can’t imagine living in a country where every company was like state-run with a top-down system. Competition is good, what we have is a lack of competition
timestatic@feddit.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Google decides it won't comply with EU fact-checking lawEnglish1·6 months agoI have switched away from google mostly. Most people can do so too. Yes they do have a monopoly on search and I think the government should take steps to ensure fair competition but I don’t think the ban hammer should be wielded this lightly. If they pay the fine. Searxng is just a relay search engine and I doubt it is legal for such a big instance to use search engines as back end, have them run it for free and then have the people use Searx instead.
timestatic@feddit.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Google decides it won't comply with EU fact-checking lawEnglish1·6 months agoBecause our legal system is made in a way where they technically are not a crime

timestatic@feddit.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the least illegal thing I can share that will get the fastest takedown request?33·6 months agoI mean endorsing violence shouldn’t be promoted so I do think thats a good thing
timestatic@feddit.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Google decides it won't comply with EU fact-checking lawEnglish3·6 months agoThey use bing tho. I personally like Qwant as they fall under GDPR and are european. Also they are working on building an independent search index.
timestatic@feddit.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Google decides it won't comply with EU fact-checking lawEnglish5·6 months agoReddit search engine? Hell nah I want more federated communities. Reddit has a contract with google anyways that blocks out foreign web crawlers.
timestatic@feddit.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Google decides it won't comply with EU fact-checking lawEnglish27·6 months agoList a country with a decent population of like at least 50 mio people that competes with companies successfully and fairly. Countries with a smaller population don’t have as much of a bureaucratic overhead. But even there… where do they offer a better service in a fair competition with companies
timestatic@feddit.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Google decides it won't comply with EU fact-checking lawEnglish22·6 months agoPeople from hexbear or lemmygrad are atrocious tho. ML is a bit better but still
timestatic@feddit.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Google decides it won't comply with EU fact-checking lawEnglish7·6 months agoNah I don’t think the government should run a search engine
timestatic@feddit.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Google decides it won't comply with EU fact-checking lawEnglish61·6 months agoFine the heck out of them then. If they don’t pay the fine ban em. Plenty of alternatives out there. More competition in the search engine market would be better anyways.
Not too big of a fan of banning companies as the hurdles should be decently high… Especially if many people rely on their service but if they won’t comply with our jurisdiction long term I see this as the only option as fees can not be order of business to pay
timestatic@feddit.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Telegram Hands U.S. Authorities Data on Thousands of Users [404 Media]2·6 months agoYes they would. Thats why Beeper is working on changing to a bridge setup that works client-side and not server-side. Remember, that Discord is not encrypted and authorities can just get your data from discord directly. Do not use discord in any sort of private context whatsoever. I don’t believe Discord itself isn’t actively using my messaging data anyways
timestatic@feddit.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a human behaviour you've never understood?1·6 months agoI think it’s easily understandable honestly. They got to this point a certain way and it’s become habit and a source of their power which they strive to increase. At a certain level of wealth it also just increases by itself.
